The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

[BigDaveCUFC]

How many mo dons players have as such fallen out of favour at mo dons since the managerial change who were favoured last season??

I’d surely expected them to be possible targets for January.

I’ve seen some awful teams in my time supporting Carlisle, but this current shower of shit has to be the worst.

Cost a fortune, over paid, hyped up in August, constantly injured, 15 points by Christmas. Bottom of the football league, set to break club records for all the wrong reasons.

Anyone who thinks this team is staying up is living in cloud cuckoo land.

Disgraceful team, disgrace to the club, disgrace to the city.

Hardly any tbh.

With the gap now 4 points, we have to win these next 2 home games. If we can’t then we might as well forget about staying up.

Lose them both and we’re 100% down.

Do I trust this team to win the big games? Not one bit.

The two teams around us which are both must wins and if we don’t then we’ll need a miracle in January really.

I think this team just irritates me more so than others because it’s fairly well known that it cost a lot to put together and players are being paid well. Everything is in place for the club to move forward but these sorry excuse for footballers are fucking it all up.

Big week ahead which will go a long way to seeing whether we’ll be alreet.

I wouldn’t trust this lot to beat an egg.

Sometimes spending just doesn’t work, especially restless panic spending and we have to be wary in January to still buy the right players than just buy any player.

The problem for us compared to say morecambe for the second half of season is we don’t and won’t get the togetherness we have players who should be doing better on vastly more money than they deserve mostly going through the motions.

Mirecambe have a poor side, had next to no spending but I can see them improving second half of season they will at least battle and scrap, they just remind me of us in 2001 with Atkins, atrocious first half of season full of issues due to ownership issues and manager unable to do anything but accept dregs of football.

It took time but by feb/march it was grinding out results, still see myself morecambe doing this so personally feel we have to find 2 sides to catch.

I agree which is one of the many reasons I think we’re going down.

Morecambe may not have the resources but what they do have is a manager cut out for a battle, who will get his players working hard and scrapping for their lives. It’ll give them a chance.

Swindon have goals in their team. They’ll get some hammerings but they’ll have enough days where they hit 3 or 4 goals and take points. Likewise Accrington, enough goals.

Harrogate won’t go down. Weaver will get enough results out of them. Too many teams have Harrogate as their bogey team.

For me us and Tranmere to go down.. Both utterly toothless. We’re obviously worse of the two overall given we’re on 6 points less , so they’ll have more of a chance, especially if/when they change the manager. But if I was betting now...

So really we need to win our next two matches and they are both at home where we have only won twice all fucking year in all competitions. That is an absolutely dreadful record! Surely no team has had such a bad home record than us in the history of English professional football.

And of course we haven’t won two league games in a row since something like March 2023. So we’re hoping for a miracle at home against the mighty Morecambe and Accrington Stanley.

Our manager will not want us to fight to survive but will just be more interested in us having more meaningless possession stats than Morecambe.
