Tues 27 Feb Fixtures

[AmberAndy]

Delayed ko due to crowd congestion apparently what a complete shambles of a club Stevenage are !!

 

[kieran_vale]

1-0 up through Weir. DiPepa with the assist so well done to the kid.

Let’s see how we comically fuck this one up then.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Absolutely shocking from us so far. No idea how we're not losing. Tactic seems to be just hoof it to our tiny strikers vs their 6ft5 CBs and guess what, it's not working.

 

[kieran_vale]

2-0 from the spot. I’m not sure what the fuck he’s given it for mind. Beggars can’t be choosers though.

well yeah, one-way traffic. But it seems like you're playing to not lose rather than to get the win, so it's hard to break you down when our attacking play is so slow, and gives you plenty of time to get back and defend in numbers - a common theme for us this season.

Could be that we tire early too and you're saving the attacks for the second half - it's no good having a ton of shots if you don't convert them.

I don't know why we're playing that way - it's how we played under Wade Elliott and look where that got us. Expecting 2 or 3 half time changes and hopefully a bit more attacking intent because this is only going one way atm.

it appears for a hair pull on Chis believe it or not!

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

See, Carlisle only have 45 minutes now to f*ck it up instead of the usual 90!

Progress.

 

[Carver]

The two WORST clubs in the league currently winning!

 

[valefan16]

Decent performance so far. We’ve changed tactic to get it forward faster with Dipepa and Chis runners. Could have had a couple more but equally Fleetwood have had a couple of chances.

Need to keep switched on and get another really as we are soft but much better half.

 

[Si Robin]

We've been worse than dreadful. The last time we were this poor was Fleetwood at home in DC's first game.

I don't mind hoofball, I'm actually a bit of a fan of it, but there's a time and a place, and tonight simply isn't it.

 

[E10rifle]

0-0 in E10 and it’s been tighter than a billionaire asked to pay his employees a living wage. Blackpool are good but absolutely love a dive. For our part we’ve looked shaky at the back and wasteful in good positions. One goal should be enough for either side.

 

[Floreat Salopia]

Stream turned off now, don’t know what the fuck has happened tonight, just shows how little confidence the defence has in Harry Burgoyne. Guess these nights happen every now and then.

Onto Blackpool on Saturday where hopefully Marosi, Benning and Udoh are back in.

 

[Bartonyellow]

We are absolutely awful. And on this showing and Saturdays we are going down.
Can’t score. Fucking dreadful.

 

[CTFCfan99]

Ugh. We've actually been better since our subs but that's such a shit goal. Awful from Smith allowing them to break instead of just fucking booting it. We don't deserve anything but still so frustrating

 

[CTFCfan99]

Belter to make it 2-0. Two worst performances under DC by a country mile have been against Wycombe. They're too big and too physical for us.

 

[Super_horns]

Nathan Jones affect at Charlton ?

 

[Randolph Haggerty]

Fleetwood have some decent players, we just go to ride this pressure .
This would be a huge win

 

[kieran_vale]

Fleetwood with one back. Just know what’s coming next. That Loft miss seems a little more important now.

 

[folletto]

WE WON A BLOODY GAME OF FOOTBALL!!
First win in 17 finally. Not the best game but who cares, we weren’t great and Derby were even worse, cannot believe they’re second. Huge win come on!

 

[stevowanderer]

70% possession. Several shots and corners. As one sided a game as I’ve seen all season.. Then Wigan score with their first shot which has taken the best part of 68 minutes. They’ve been terrible Wigan and we are still losing.

 

[kieran_vale]

And we’ve actually Vale’d it up. Just astounding.

 

[Bartonyellow]

Tonight is the first time I am convinced we are going down. This manager is a clown. We are playing like a conference team. Dreadful.
We are a club in free fall. Ben - time to sell up and let someone else have a go. Well done Carlisle.

 

[valefan16]

Only Vale. Furious we’ve bottled that. We just sat back for the full 45 minutes and asked for trouble. That’s us down now.

 

[thewwfc]

honestly don't know what Chelts were thinking there, so, so negative.

They were barely even hitting us on the counter if we went forward, it was just pure defence for the most part.

The shots stat says it all. I mean, shots are meaningless if they're a) not on target and b) don't go in, but they were pretty much letting us come at them, and our keeper barely had anything to do.

I will say that CTFC's players chucked themselves into every tackle, and 10/10 for battling, but that won't always be enough.

 

[Bobbin']

Tonight couldn’t have gone any better even if I had written it myself.

 

[YEO YEO YEO]

Not often we can say it this season, but we were exceptional and Shrewsbury so so poor.

We started the game so strongly, Shrewsbury didn't know what to do for the first 20 mins.

They then found a bit more possession but couldn't deal with our high press, and just kept passing it along their backline.

We then got stronger final 5 mins of first half. Only thing missing first half was a 2nd.

Expected Shrewsbury to come at us 2nd half and they sort of did without having a chance. They had better of opening 10 of.the 2nd.

It was then all us and 2nd goal was a thing of beauty. Passing it around so effortlessly.

I think I remember Shrewsbury testing our keeper once only. Game so comfortable we could rotate 5 to save them for the weekend.

Felt it really clicked tonight, Shrewsbury couldn't deal with us and looked so far off the pace.

Saturdays a big game v Stevenage.

 

[Bartonyellow]

I can’t believe how shit we were tonight. We have been playing anti football now all season and got away with it. We deserve to be relegated playing this shit. No wonder out crowds are woeful - it’s fucking awful to watch and not entertaining. I can’t put myself through that again. We have sacked a clown and put another in charge.
So fucked off tonight with it all.
Oh and the pitch is Sunday league quality.

 

[valefan16]

Huge chance gone to end the rut. Cruising then Ojo has to go off and we collapse like a pack of cards. We don’t have the depth with the players missing and we are so weak late on in games.

We don’t have the fight or the bottle. Loft missing a 1 on 1 to kill the tie just sums up the horrific recruitment.

 

[BogDaddyO]

3 points away at Oxford on Saturday, another 3 tonight at home to Blackpool.
We've been superb over the last 15 games (Burton aside), still 5 points behind stevenage in 6th having played an extra game but you never know...
