orfc Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Think their goalie should have done better with Mellish's first volley, but his second was right in the bottom corner His performances are either shite or brilliant, not much in-between (google "jon mellish own goal" for a wide array of examples, but he was our top scorer one season) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orfc Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Lost 3-1 at home to Lincoln 5 games left, can only get to 42 points, so we just need one of the four teams above us to reach 43 and then we're down regardless of what we do Given Burton are on 40 in the last safe place we're down if we lose on Saturday, or they win on saturday, or we both draw And even that's just putting it off till the week after really with the other teams in the relegation places not far behind Burton, but I expect to be relegated in 5 days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes not quite mathematically down but only a matter of time. Again sounds like Carlisle made a game of it today but another in a long line of defeats sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly did. Got one goal and came close a couple of times. It looked more like it was going to be 2-2 than 1-3, but as I've said so many times this season, a lot of these players just aren't good enough. Ellis and Armer at full back are sadly out of their depth, Barclay and Lavelle at centre back are liable for a mistake at any time. Mellish, now playing in midfield, was back to his careless headless chicken mode rather than the chaotic wrecking ball he must've been at Peterborough. There continues to be criticism of Paul Simpson, but it's not the manager's fault when players run in to each other, or kick the ball against each other, take a 5 yard first touch and lose the ball, continuously pass to the ball boys, or needlessly push a guy in the back to give away a freekick at the edge of the box. On the plus side, Butterworth was lively again and the new striker Georgie Kelly looked good when he came on. If only he was fit when he signed. A bit of a clear out in the summer and some smart signings, and we can hopefully actually look forward to a good season at the top end of League 2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orfc Posted April 9 Author Share Posted April 9 Zombie Carlisle United carry on with a 1-0 win at Cheltenham - now on 30 points Think our lowest total in 3pts for a win era is 34 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Carlisle_United_F.C._seasons - though that was a 42 game season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been no sign of the players downing tools and though the quality isn't there the effort still seems to be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orfc Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Carlisle 0-1 Blackpool Went behind in the first minute and sacked it off after that The most noteworthy event according to commentary was a massive hailstorm at the end that soaked everyone not under cover Will give a real live report myself from the Wycombe match next week, last home match in league one - woo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orfc Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 Carlisle 1-3 Wycombe Usual. Couple of clangers to give the game away. Apparently the second one was really bad but from the halfway line it looked like a scramble after a clearance banged off a Wycombe player straight back into the goalmouth Our goal looked good and their third carved us open well Didn't hang around for the end of season standing ovations, the players can applaud me next season 1 more goal conceded needed to reach 80, 1 more defeat next week to get to 30 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
