So why not just watch the highlights instead until someone sees sense]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/blackpool_trophy_highlights_938950/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/blackpool_trophy_highlights_938950/index.shtml Tue, 15 Oct 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Poor all over the field, and dominant for only 10 minutes. The downward spiral continues and with our lack of talent on the field and in the dugout and boardroom I can't see a way out of it]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/crewe_highlights_938853/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/crewe_highlights_938853/index.shtml Sat, 12 Oct 2019 21:00:00 +0000 A useful runout for the spare players and a cracking goal from the Rangers lad. Nice to see these games being arranged]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/rangers_reserves_highlights_938712/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/rangers_reserves_highlights_938712/index.shtml Tue, 08 Oct 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Played well, beaten by a last minute speculative shot. No need to panic - move on. We do need to beef up the finishing though. How long have I been saying that?.]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/newport_highlights_938580/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/newport_highlights_938580/index.shtml Sat, 05 Oct 2019 21:00:00 +0000 No, not the telly-buttons when our highlights are on. Giving the players a rest every 6 weeks. Is there any evidence that it works? Don't we need the training time before the trip to Newport? Playing once a week must be exhausting]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/switchoff_week_938239/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/switchoff_week_938239/index.shtml Sun, 29 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 They must have struggled to put together enough to fill 2 minutes. A regulation save from Collin apart, they were no threat, and we didn't do much better. Best forgotten]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/oldham_highlights_938195/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/oldham_highlights_938195/index.shtml Sat, 28 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 According to one of their fans we were rubbish, bur weren't the worst side on the pitch. I absolutely agree. We cant string two passes together without finding an opposition player and we stand off far too much. Three points, luckily]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/oldham__the_opposition_view_938175/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/oldham__the_opposition_view_938175/index.shtml Fri, 27 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Some stunningly inept defending here from both sides. From the footage their passing and positioning was way better than ours, so well done kids. Pointless exercise]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/stoke_highlights_938015/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/stoke_highlights_938015/index.shtml Tue, 24 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Amazing how our defence melts away quicker than snow off a dyke under pressure. Simply not strong enough. Add to that a powderpuff attach and we'll struggle all season]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/bradford_highlights_937858/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/bradford_highlights_937858/index.shtml Sat, 21 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 10 minutes of mainly FGR possession and no goals. Enjoy anyway]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/fgr_extended_highlights_937731/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/fgr_extended_highlights_937731/index.shtml Wed, 18 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 They seem happy with their point. We seem to have the defence playing better with 5 there, but we've nothing going forward. I'm worried that we will be even weaker when the pitches start to cut up]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/fgr__the_opposition_view_937685/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/roll/ed15/fgr__the_opposition_view_937685/index.shtml Mon, 16 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 We have to do something about the defence so this makes sense. I just hope that he's the finished product and fit. Time will tell]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/short_deal_for_jones_937494/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/short_deal_for_jones_937494/index.shtml Thu, 12 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Something has GOT to be done about that defence who allowed Exeter to cut them apart time after time. This season looks like it's gone down the pan already. Pressley admits the side are playing poorly; time he did something about it]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/exeter_highlights_937297/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/exeter_highlights_937297/index.shtml Sun, 08 Sep 2019 21:00:00 +0000 A win's a win I suppose; they made a lot of chances but their finishing looked inept. Two good saves from Collin and a solid finish gave us the points. I'm not arguing]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/scunthorpe_highlights_936982/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/scunthorpe_highlights_936982/index.shtml Sat, 31 Aug 2019 21:00:00 +0000 To Leeds. I reckon this one could come back to bite us on the bum as he looked like he had something about him in pre-season. Still, the money will come in handy]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/galloways_gone_936888/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/galloways_gone_936888/index.shtml Thu, 29 Aug 2019 21:00:00 +0000 Sloppy defending and finishing lost us 2 points. The centre backs are a weakness and too many players are learning their trade on the job. And when the heavy pitches appear I can't see us being able to play the pretty football that Pressley wants. .]]> http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/salford_highlights_936658/index.shtml http://www.carlisleunited-mad.co.uk/rprt/mtch/salford_highlights_936658/index.shtml Sat, 24 Aug 2019 21:00:00 +0000
