The problem is identifying them to make them pay. Easier said than done but hopefully they do.

The police have been in that corner with them for the full game if they haven’t got a bit of footage to show who was in those spots then it’s a disgrace.

This isn’t first time it’s happened either, surely the club should be responsible for the repairs at this point and do their own investigation to get money back from culprits

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

As for the game, utter shite from our lot, you could see what way it was going from 5 minutes into the second half. Murray and Tumilty are atrocious

You can have odusina back if you want

Swap for Murray? I’d drive him there myself

I thought you guys were having me on by the way when you mentioned 'timi disasterclass'. See what you mean now. Looking at a 1/10 type of day.

I thought we did both those things last time. This contingent probably meet up in the pub back in carlisle and brag about how many seats they personally smashed up.

We were pretty shit today and won 3-0, which is extremely ominous for Crawley

We are in the position our performances warrant.

Absolute dogturd from the first game to this.

Coming towards the end of the last season most Crawley fans would have said that with a couple of additions (back to goal forward and a good midfielder) we could be a play off hope this season.

Betsy came in and has loaned out our top scoring striker (Appiah) and our player of the season for the last few seasons (Morris), spent a fortune on a player that hardly plays and implemented tactics that he has now said we don't have the players for. He complains about having to change things around the club that we didnt have the money to implement before (double the budget remember).He has brought in loan players from u23 football and they can't get in a team that is bottom.

If we manage to stay up this season and next I will be very surprised.

Sick bug a bit worse than suspected.

 

[The Terminator]

Dropped two points there for sure, dominated the game for long spells but ultimately got punished for not finding the second killer goal. We’ve got away with that a few times this season - seeing out the 1-0 but not today.

Doncaster put in the worst 45mins I’ve seen from any side in this league this season - they barely got into our half and had a shot. Booed off at half time and McSheffrey got a lot of stick until they equalised.

To be fair in the second half there was a reaction from them, 3 subs made and they had a chance to equalise before they did - they showed something to get back into the game.

Losing El Mizouni at half time badly affected our rhythm, not got anyone else like him who can dictate a game.

Stevenage have been killing teams off recently - which is why they’re now top of the table. Missing chances could end up costing us.

He definitely has them in him. Some times he’s incredible winning everything and his pace gets him out of trouble most of the time. But on the ball he can be a liability at times, and there is games that come along every now and then that are like watching a car crash.

But I’d take that over the lot we have calling themselves “defenders” at the minute.

At least 2 of the goals should have been dealt with by our Keeper, EASILY .

Also Carlisle were easily the better side, Individualy and collectivly.

Carlisle by far the better side no complaints here. But some of those goals today were embarrassing. Schoolboy defending and a keeper that looked like he was shitting himself

well you’d charge the club, idiotic behaviour.

I’m sure it’s a small minority that sadly we all have, but i’d be ensuring any works are paid for by carlisle.

Yeah that’s what will happen. But that isn’t really a punishment for the individuals so they’ll do it again.

But I’d take that over the lot we have calling themselves “defenders” at the minute.

He gave away a pen, gave almost every pass away, lost his man at every corner, and didn't win a header all game. One of the worst performances I've seen from a City defender. If he had a brain he'd be lethal.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Today was frustrating - we're still seeing plenty of the ball but not carving out anywhere near as many chances (a wonder save kept us from nicking a point though).

Frustrating also that the ref was a fucking bottler and was too scared to give a red - and other baffling calls.

Mansfield players were taking it in turn to have a sit down. That was also frustrating.

Should pick up some points over the next few weeks as we're finally getting to play the shit teams. Problem is some of them are starting to improve and nothing feels more certain than a Rochdale win (and Quigley goal) next Saturday.

 

[Optimistic Poolie]

Yeah that’s what will happen. But that isn’t really a punishment for the individuals so they’ll do it again.

Even worse this time in my opinion. Once is still bad but you could put it down to the little plastic hooligan wannabe’s getting too excited after a couple of cans of dark fruits. However this is like the third time it’s happened I believe. It’s pre-meditated.

It will keep happening unfortunately

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

So after reading this thread basically we’re all shit apart from Leyton Orient who are decent but not clinical enough.

I do miss the batshit crazy National League and all the ridiculous scores. I’m glad we’re back in the football league but it’s quite dull League Two in comparison.

He is definitely a confidence player as well, he started last season on the bench as Challinor didn’t trust him.

It wasn’t until Lee came in and put him into the side where he kicked on, and was one of stand out players in second half the season.

 

[Brox]

Good win vs Swindon today. First half we were the better side, went 1-0 up through a Roberts header, ball was played into the box, Roberts I think it was won the first header but was more of a defensive header than attacking one, luckily Rose hooked it back across goal and Roberts was free at the back post and guided his header home to give us the lead. A keeping error gave Reid the opportunity to make it 2 but between him and the defender on the line they managed to keep it at 1. We had a few half chance thereafter but were unable to add to the lead. I thought Swindon ended the half the better of the two sides, plenty threatening but at no point did they work the keeper or fashion an actual opening.

Second half started like the first ended, Swindon the better of the two sides, Hutton was getting in down our left but again was the case that they weren't working the keeper or troubling us too much. We got our second on the hour mark, Gilbey robbed their midfielder of the ball and drove towards the box, he played Reid in whose cross come shot was turned in by Roberts for his second of the game. After that it was a containment job for us, restricted Swindon to a few shots from range, happy to pick and choose when to attack. I think we were very fortunate not to concede a penalty shortly after we got the second, looked very much like a handball from Rose. If that's awarded we could have been looking at a very different end to the game.

Going in to this I was concerned we might drop points, not only were the concerns unfounded but with the win we end the night top of the table. Couldn't be happier tonight, I know there's a long way to go but it's so refreshing being able to focus on the top half of the table rather than the bottom!

 

[AdamStag]

Mansfield with a 1-0 win at barrow, probably slightly fortunate to get it in a game that was low on quality and entertainment.

Barrow clearly had a general tactic of breaking up play and ensuring it was very stop start and the game was just that, the first half had nothing about it at all, barrow with a shot just wide of the goal but hard to see from where we were stood.

2nd half we upped the game a little bit also benefitted from a bit of luck both with the goal which came off the crossbar but also when ollie clarke could realistically hehe been sent off for a late challenge and was subbed sharpish by clough,

Either way, to have gone from 3 successive losses (though realistically we should have at least drawn at sutton and orient) to 4 away wins in a bounce is a cracking effort,

He's started on the bench too here. Had covid and picked up an injury. He had one very good game against Sheffield Wednesday in the silly League Trophy thingy and since then he's looked really shakey.

Exactly. Fining the club pays the bill yeah, but the only way to stop it happening in future is the individuals getting punished.

Because they’ve “got away with it” previously they probably see it as a challenge to do it again and get away with it.

Can’t say im too surprised.

However you have definitely had the better of it in the summer. I have no idea how Callum Cooke has managed to forge a career at any level. He is 10 yards off the pace and literally offers nothing.

The 7-5 Wrexham score stands out

 

[Ellis]

Take that all day long but felt more like Bradford not showing up more than a great performance from us.

Hughes’ tactics were a bit odd, felt like you gave us too much respect and let us have more of the ball, didn’t really try and press our defence which turns slower than milk.

New left back looked good, hopefully that’s one position sorted, open the cheque book for a proper striker in January next.

Hughes' tactics have been like that for a while. Absolutely pig-sick of us doing the same crap over and over that hasn't worked once. Lewis passing it out to either fullback only for them to pass it back. It's abysmal football. As for the fact that we didn't try to press - it's hard to press really when you have lazy and disinterested players such as Chapman and Periera. Truly one of the worst performances I've seen and it all stems from the manager.

 

[shoddycollins]

Kinda feeling more positive about our start to the season. We're looking pretty solid barring the occasional hiccup and have the possibility of more goals with returning players.

We really are having atrocious luck with injuries though and I don't know if there's been any updates on today's.

Looking to next week, I feel that despite a recent good run, we're playing Doncaster at a really good time to maybe notch 3 wins in 4.

 

[AdamStag]

Yeah that’s what will happen. But that isn’t really a punishment for the individuals so they’ll do it again.

unless there’s cctv clearly not, but it’s not something a club would want to encourage.
