I don't know why I ever, ever had any concerns about them. Then after about 30 mins of today's game it all changed when they were 0-2 down, I still expected them to concede another few when they took an 84th minute lead mind
but no, a Carlisle home win & three goals scored in the same game. Only eight points from safety with five games to play, the escape of all escapes is on - or probably not.

Cracking win - unfortunately with Tranmere winning looking unlikely that you can stay up.

Accrington now right in the mix and Carlisle still have to play them......Carlisle also have to play Morcambe and Cheltenham which are both winnable

Shame to hear that about Embleton. Given the amount of football he'd missed out on in the last 2 seasons due to injury you'd think he'd be determined to resurrect his career but the fact that Bruce gave up on him almost instantly at Blackpool and is now by all accounts stinking the place out at Carlisle suggests he's unlikely to do anything of note in the EFL at this point.

Trying not to get frustrated as Holloway has done a terrific job in keeping us up.
I would have taken this where we were as we looked doomed.
All about new ownership for me and plenty of smoke. Could only dream that we get free after 10 years and with Holloway at the helm next season.
Would be like a promotion season and reckon we could make a serious challenge next season.
Not seen any quality this season.
Salford on the final day could be winnable if they're out of the playoff picture. It's still going to take a massive effort and form they've not shown all season.

It's over. The American owners stood by the previous manager far too long, presumably trying to be good football people, not wanting the reputation of sacking someone too soon.
It's was totally obvious from the start of the season it was not working and he needed to go.
American owners strike again.

Must be quite depressing going from playing for your home town club to bottom of football league tbf

There are games to get points in (hopefully) but it's what they do to themselves that concerns me most.

I'd be extremely surprised if Swindon aren't right in the auto-promo mix next season. Any dominant team have a good chance & IH has the building blocks in place to complement them with some budget - plus the right personal decisions obviously.

He scored yesterday, his first ever EFL goal, our second.
Watch the togetherness. Real good to see.

We have found a cracking penalty taker - 7 out of 7 now.
My prediction of him ending up at Hartlepool might be coming to light if this is the case.

A group of players showing togetherness, class!
Do you reckon they'd take him after what he's shown at Carlisle.
And which manager/hc is prepared to chance his own position by taking that risk.

Can see him going to Gateshead, if Carlisle can actually get shot of him. Either that or he’ll dig his heels in, pick up his inflated wage and practically end his own career. Spennymoor or Northern League will be his ultimate destination.

My thoughts also; Carlisle will need to buy out his contract to get him off their books then he'll end up with whoever offers him most in match fees. Don't know who the big payers at NL level. But how he's reacted to fan verbal criticism at Carlisle make me think wherever he ends up he'll have a hard time if things don't go well in games.
