New Year's Day 2022

[Agombar stool]

Been an entertaining fast half. Swindon look good when they shift the ball quickly through the middle of the pitch. Jonny Williams stands out by a mile with his quality but my goodness he goes down easily.

Got opened up far too much for Swindons goal, but then one long ball undid them the other end (good take and finish though). Pinnocks effort from 40 yards from a free kick was sensational, great save also.

We have looked very rusty and so desperately miss Etete up front, but whilst im happy to get in at 1-1 we have had a lot of half chances in and around the box. Could go either way still.

FWIW I completely agree with you about Williams, I wish he would just get on with the game and stop the 'antics'. That bit of football with Pinnock's vision from the free kick and Jojo's superb reactions was excellent.

We have looked better than most games we've had at home but Cobblers also look dangerous. Fairly even game and I reckon more goals second half.

 

[dedwardp]

Can't we go back to calling all our games off again? Appallingly bad.

 

[Chris FGR]

We look rusty af. Lots of possession but Stevenage had the better chances.

Hopefully second half will be better.

 

[EricSabin]

2-2 in the blink of an eye at Swindon. Sounds very end to end and an entertaining watch.

 

[EricSabin]

3-2 Swindon lol

 

[EricSabin]

That’s three lucky breaks for McKirdy this afternoon

 

[kieran_vale]

Was about to say the scores at Swindon and Walsall were going quite nicely in our favour but then that changed pretty quickly. Hopefully the game at Sutton can remain level.

Colchester getting a bit of a tonking. If there is a team outside of Carlisle, Scunny and Oldham who I think are in serious danger it’s them in my opinion. When we played them they were very listless and seem to have a lot of ageing players in their team.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Our finishing is worse than pub league.

 

[dedwardp]

Should have gone down last year and we don't look any better this season.

Come, join us in Non-League

 

[EricSabin]

Legs have gone at the back by the looks of some of the defending. Shame.

 

[kieran_vale]

Fucking hell Walsall can you stop conceding a goal right after scoring please. Wonder if someone is going to test the water with a bid for Telford during this window.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Need Scunthorpe and Hull to score for a £300 Acca win

 

[Vanni]

I'm watching the Pools match - on one of those dodgy streams mind you - and I think my choice fell on the wrong match ffs. Still I don't know how Pools aren't at least 1 nil up. Poor finishing has let them down badly.

 

[Vanni]

McKirdy with 4 goals? What in the name of fcuk is going on.

He’s been up against the rustiest defence he could hope for. Looks as if their legs have fallen off since half time.

Done well to find a dodgy stream for L2 I never manage!

 

[kieran_vale]

Damn it 2-1 Sutton now. Think Matt Gray has to be L2 manager of the year for my money.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Undeserved

 

[shoddycollins]

Scunthorpe looking to return the favour now after our late equaliser in the game at Brunton Park

Stevenage are very much in the shit

 

[Bottega Don]

Can't believe we lost to the worst team in the football league, what does that make us?

Carlisle fans did claim they were the worst team in the FL last year as well at points and finished 10th

 

[shoddycollins]

Our dominance against teams beginning with S continues

 

[Indian Dan]

Could/should have had 10 today. Very different approach from Garner - whether by design or accident, who knows.

 

[Chris FGR]

I can’t imagine any Carlisle fan being as negative as that.

 

[kieran_vale]

Sure but I'm just factoring in their owner will sanction them making the signings needed to pull them clear.

Good score in the end for us at Walsall. The other games not so much today.

 

[BarraMatt]

Two defensive lapses cost us, gave Bradford their only two chances in the game and they took full advantage. I would like to see the disallowed goal again.

On a positive note we finally scored from open play.

 

[Chris FGR]

Ended up being fairly routine for us today, two more assists for Wilson that’s 10 for the season. The lad is different class. Great to see March getting his first league goal of the season, should boost his confidence.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Very disappointed not to beat Oldham. Two nil nils against them, a blank against Scunny and no offence to either but they are both really poor sides.

I can't see where we'll get the next 22 points to get to 50. Where will they come from? Might be a bit negative but at this moment I think we're an outside bet for the drop.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Neither side deserved to win that. It was a terrible game. I would have taken the point given the circumstances, with half a side and then Dieng going off injured.
Can't believe we have arranged to play FGR on Tuesday, that's a certain defeat.
