Looks promising apart from slowness of Anderton and Mcdonald.

Looks like a 442 or even a 451 with Alessandra dropping in.

Nice to see some options on the bench too. Mellish and Alessandra lucky to keep their places, need a big performance from them today.

Going to be a dangerous front 3

That's a much stronger looking team.
Feeling much more optimistic now.
Come on blues. Give us some much needed cheer.

Cambridge don’t have too much pace in the side so might help us today. Hoolahan could pull the strings for them if we’re not careful however.

Jack Iredale on the bench for them.

Might get deleted, but anyone know of any streams? £10 feels like a rip off when the money isn't even going to carlisle.

All good with my I Follow

All works fine for me, make sure all your browser updates are done. Sometimes Google Chrome can be temperamental and I have to switch to Safari.

Bit risky throwing everything into attack cutting out the midfield but hope it works.

Finally I've got it

Wish I hadn't now

We have to sort this defence out, it’s an absolute shambles.

I’m all for giving players a chance but McDonald is looking like the new Webster.. cocked up for the first and his man for the 2nd.

2-0 now.

Thank fk the transfer window doesn't shut until October as this defence needs ripped up and built again as it's simply not good enough the way they are shipping goals for fun.

We’ve taken a crap defence and made it worse

I just don’t see how Beech can survive this and Holdsworth too.

This is absolutely terrible. Goalkeeper is a donkey, McDonald is slower than a 80 year old, Mellish can’t pass and our strikers haven’t seen the ball yet.

Apart from kayode this is an awful awful side. We’ve decent players for this level but they are all similar, no fight or organisation in any of them.

Beech/Holdsworth out tonight

How can we sign experienced pro defenders every single year and make them all rubbish?

How many times has this happened?

I thought Taylor charters was our next big thing and left out the side today and not getting minutes yet new signing Ethan Walker gets straight in ?

Unfortunately an assistant manager should be no where near Carlisle United as a first team manager , clearly can’t coach players.

Playing like this makes it even worse that no fans are allowed in as they can all get away with it.

Fans won’t go back even if allowed in based on recent results but board not got the ball to sort this mess

And barrow winning, great

Ifollow nearly as bad as our defence. Mullin and Hoolahan absolutely destroying us

Barely strung 2 passes together after the first goal. Everything pumped long or overhit.

When was the last time we were the 2nd highest placed Cumbrian football team. Seemed unthinkable all my life. But it’s going to be a reality at 5pm.

25 minutes in and I'm still staring at a black screen. IFollow chat ignoring me and we seem to be getting thumped whilst I am unable to watch it. Pissed off at everything.

wish i had a blank screen

Cmon, it's top v bottom here what did we expect

:-p

Have been better in the last 10 or so but still too rushed. Quality of the final ball not enough yet.

Both fullbacks have been poor.

Harrogate 2nd. It's gonna be a long season

What about Toure?

Glad my ifollow was broken till the 35th minute

It’s infuriating how we’ve gifted them two goals. On the general play we’re edging it and I’d be surprised if we don’t score in the second half but we’ve already given them a 2-0 head start.

Guy getting a bit of stick but Alessandra has been really really poor today. There’s been quite a few opportunities to slip the forwards in and he’s missed it.

Toure the main positive with Kayode and Patrick looking promising.

Kayode and Patrick look a bit rusty but they still do look like they can cause them problems. They’ll get better with games if they stay fit. Agree about Alessandra, he’s been nothing.

That's what you get picking up players released from Morecambe.

All the talk about Devitt returning or another player of his ilk but they aren't going to stop the goals going in.

Someone needs to ask lummy if hes got his boots with him

Who did we pick up released by Morecambe?

Alessandra

Alessandra

He turned down a contract extension so technically not released. But yeah he’s been absolutely shit today.

No discipline at all or concentration highlighted by that bloody stupid back pass.

We are shit, to put it simply.

Harrogate 4 up top of the league

Just been onto amazon to order some new XXXL nappies. Anyone else want some?

That's it the defence is total sh1t

I can get some from MRF thanks as he can get them from his workplace.

20/21 Seasons first relegation battle.and a six-pointer next week vs Southend.

Awful defensively.

What’s almost more concerning is we’ve had about 70% possession this second half and I can’t even remember their keeper making 1 save?

Beech said Reilly is the best finisher in our squad, why’ve we not even seen him today?

When I moved back from the USA in 2008 we were pushing to get into the Championship with a quality team... Barrow I don't think were even in the Conference... probably Northern Premier League... (but I stand corrected).

Now look where we are thanks to an ambitious board of temporary custodians.

Just when you think it can't get any worse it does.

Needs to be sorted out pronto all these signings were supposed to be "quality" and "hungry"

Elsewhere our cast offs seemed not good enough are starting for Harrogate, smacking 2 in for Port Vale etc etc etc

What exactly did Beech do with these players during pre season, it certainly wasn't defending .
