We lost 2-0 at Gainsborough.

I’m really upset about it in fact it’s made me a Blue Boy.

Did you cheer yourself up with a (Francis) Bacon sandwich after an attack of the (Edvard) Munch(ies)?

Can't really count our game last night at Gainsborough as it was the youth team apart from 1 new signing and 1 player just back from injury.

Don't let Matthew hear you saying that.
Why is he asking if Jolley was wearing a suit ?
Seems a complex character does our Matthew

No shame in losing to Gainsborough Grimsby mates, our first ever loss at VP was to them.

I was just about to pose that question as I hadn't included Scunthorpe's defeat to Boston the other night for the same reason.

As a result, I won't include Grimsby's defeat last night.

Must win game coming up on the weekend. Anything less than a win vs Hearts and we'll be in the bottom two I reckon. And to be sat in 23rd in July is simply not on :sad:

I don't think we've ever had this little problem during pre season before. Usually it's only around early October that we start hearing talk of must win games on our forum :pond:

'mon the JTs!

Couple of players in those young 'uns that I'm hoping will be very much in and around the first team next season though. Pollock and Wright for sure, maybe Buckley and Curran too.

In that case, our defeat to Sandbach needs removing too, it was our new formed U18 side!

Hallam Hope will serve a one-game friendly suspension, so he'll miss our game with Fleetwood tomorrow but be back for the other friendlies and crucuially our season opener (if he's still a Carlisle player by then).

Still not sure what actually happened, seems lenient if, as Chester argued, he turned to face and then swung a fist at their player; but we haven't commented on the details of the incident and Radio Cumbria described it as a raised arm when challenging for a ball which was interpreted as a deliberate elbow... which seems to be quite different from what Chester claim and probably more proportionate to the punishment.

The state of our team that we'll put out against Fleetwood tomorrow.

With Hope suspended we don't have much to choose from our 12 contracted players, so it'll probably be along the lines of this.

Collin
Elliott Webster Knight-Percival Mellish
Bridge Jones *Brunt
Scougall *Thomas McKirdy​


Subs: Gray, Branthwaite, Kerr...


*Trialists


Absolute fucking disgrace. 2 weeks until the season starts and that's what we've got. Shambles doesn't even do it justice. No one in their right mind should be thinking that has a chance of staying up this season. The owners really couldn't give two fucks about our football league status and it angers me so much.

Well, 6-1. But a hugely improved 2nd half where we looked very good once Doughty and Anderson came on. That trialist keeper, Krastev, needs binning pronto.

Only lost the second half 2-1, that's a win in my book.

We’ve beaten L1 side Wimbledon 2-0 this morning in Spain. Danny Mayor and Joel Grant with the goals.

Argo beat Wimbledon 2-0 in the 9.30 early morning game in Spain. Good to win given that we have looked a bit ropey in the previous three matches. Most important is that it sounds like the team is getting to grips with Lowe’s system, but still need a new centre back or two.
