The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

[Moonie]

Some very early 'throwing in the towel'from our Carlisle friends on here.

Surely there are at least 2 worse clubs in this league.

As it stands, there most certainly are not.

 

[Carver]

Our utterly shite defenders are not the type who are capable of passing it out from the back, so why our manager persists with it is getting absolutely ridiculous now.

If we don't get many points from these next three crucial games then Williamson has to go because he's not doing what's required of a team who just need to grind out results even if it's ugly.

Just keep us in the football league ffs and leave the f*cking fannying around at the back when we have the players who can do it.

If you’re referring to the 1st goal, there was nothing wrong with the defenders pass, it’s the fact we have one of the worst midfielders in the league collecting the pass in midfield. Harrison Neal is not fit to wear the shirt, can’t control the ball and can’t move. That touch he took was an absolute disgrace to his profession.

 

[SaddlerJonny]

Carlisle fans were great tonight.

I had reckoned that the level you lot was going on about how bad you were was probably a little hyperbolic, but jesus, that was a rough watch.

Strange moment in the second half after the third goal where you tried to play out, it got pressed and you guys conceded a throw. Then one player booted the ball into the hoardings in frustration, which led to 4 ot 5 players and the keeper proper having a go blaming each other.

 

[Scum.]

Williamson working his magic then

 

[Carver]

Williamson working his magic then

Literally everything you lot warned us about him is 100% true.

Whoever in our club thought we needed a soft possession manager like him with the players we have and the terrible position we're in needs f*cking sacked.

Hope you're enjoying the 200k you got for him.

It paid for Scott Lindsey who is everything we lacked with MW, so yep, many thanks there.

 

[hellogregory]

How utterly depressing.

 

[Soup Ladle]

See you next season lads

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Things can change in 6 months time no dins may hate their new manager it happens.

Remember when Simpson took over first time and inherited an atrocious squad of players, had 5 points at Christmas, finally brought in his players and turned whole club around and while relegated two years later we were in L1

 

[Stocky]

What happened to Carlisle going down the DOF route?

Decent following for the distance on a Tuesday night and the form the team has been in fair play to those who travelled they were very good.

If I was to be nice on this the owners clearly wanted the MK Dons DOF, he used this to get a nice pay rise (or was coming and my decided to offer a pay rise) and with our owners mostly living in trumpland it means they have not been over in UK much lately to look for another one.

If I was to be nasty they wanted the MK dons DOF but only had a plan A and are clueless now on what on earth to do because option A said no.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

How is Hayden doing?

 

[hellogregory]

How is Hayden doing?

Well we’re the worst defence in the football league, so that maybe answers the question.

He looks a shadow of the player we sold to you to be honest. Dropping into the national league has maybe taken its toll on his performance levels.

Very bad appointment in my opinion for a struggling team. Williamson will be back in non league before the season is out.

 

[GTFCfish]

This was the mistake Artell made last season when he took over here and thankfully he learned just in time and then started grinding out the ugly wins we needed to stay up.
Hopefully for you lot Williamson might learn and bite the bullet and do the same sooner rather than later before you get cast too far adrift.

 

[hellogregory]

If only it was just “fannying around at the back” as Carver puts it thats the problem.

Sadly it’s not. We’ve actually only conceded 1 goal so far under Williamson as a result of a mistake passing out from defence. The rest of the hatful of goals have been through other frailties.

There’s this really strange idea among our fans that if we start going direct and pumping the ball forward we’ll start getting results. Well I hate to break this news but we’d been doing that for a whole year until Williamson came in and we’d been terrible. The problems are basics of defending long balls, defending corners, defending crosses, defending free kicks. We can’t do any of it. Too many bad players in key positions which is why we’re going down no matter what type of football we play.

I hate our team. They're the most unlikeable we've ever had in my opinion and it's been that way for too long now.

Lewis, Lavelle, Mellish, Barclay, Robinson, Davies, Neal, Vela, Biggins, Armstrong, Wyke, Kelly, Dudik etc

They all need to either step up or f*ck off.

So can our head of recruitment Abbott and our CEO Clibbens.

He's been finished since January 2023, a shell of the monster he once was. I honestly thought he might retire in the summer nevermind go back to you.

[Agombar stool]

Oops, that wasn't supposed to go in this thread!

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I do t know its news that can give us a little bit of hope that another club is possibly in better chance of relegation than us!

 

[hellogregory]

You honestly thought he’d retire at 27?

 

[Master D]

You honestly thought he’d retire at 27?

Yeah, his head isn't in football anymore. He's basically semi-retired anyway going to your lot.

I think a of credit has to go to the players firstly for calling what was probably a very difficult conversation and secondly to Artell for listening and abandoning the style of play that simply wasn't working. Not all squads would have done that and not all managers/egos would have taken it on board. The sooner Carlisle have similar crisis talks the better.

 

[hellogregory]

Yeah, his head isn't in football anymore. He's basically semi-retired anyway going to your lot.

Yeah alright

 

[Carver]

We may have lost again and at home to Cheltenham, but once again Williamson worked his magic as we had more possession than the opposition and that's all what matters.

We'll be allright!

 

[Moonie]

This side cannot survive in the football league.

 

[DippyDon]

I got my first apology from one of those twitter EFL journalist types today after arguing against me thinking I was wrong to want Williamson out. That says it all.
