I’m sure I saw a thread for the Boxing Day game already? Must be going mad.

Anyway, Evatt has confirmed that Tutte and Kioso are back, thank god. In my opinion we should be able to put out our current strongest 11.

I’d go with the usual back 3, Kioso back in at right wing back, move Jones back to the left, Tutte and Thomasson in centre mid and Sarcevic further forward behind Doyle and Delfounso.

Saying that, with how inconsistent we are we could play our best team and lose 4-0. If we can start quickly and get an early goal then a comfortable 2-0 win is my prediction - another kick start to the season!

Good prediction. Strongest side we can pick at the moment.

We need about 10 Players in the transfer window, think Santos has been on the Jardel tequila and whisky diet, fucking uttter rubbish and unprofessional does not sufficiently sum this up, fuck the back 3 off until we have 2 wing backs, get in 2 holding players, sign a centre forward who cam make the ball stick, get a new keeper, get some pace out wide, in short start afresh. 

Fukin morais was available free until recently. Not being sentimental but he could of done a job for this season

Evatt?

Fucks sake there’s only me who can miss a goal going for a shit cos I wanted to make room for cheeseboard

Can we start a sweepstake on how many transfers windows the Evatt massive think he needs after this debacle?

We need one big one first, Evatt out and someone with a bit of football sense in (which btw negates 90% of the happy clappers on here )

My mon scores 🥳

A man with any self respect would be thinking about stepping down.

He genuinely doesn't know how to manage this lot ... players he, largely, has brought into the club, to play a system they're not capable of.

No point sacking IE. Give him time.

He has to, it could set us up to at least not make it easy for the the opposition, IE was telling us when he first arrived how good he was at changing tactics in-game if it isn'tworking, not seen it once yet 🙄

Good point that 

Hes seemed stubborn as fuck 

Theres believing your plan and trusting your process and then there being blind to the evidence unfolding in front of your eyes

Would defo do a job, at least he can spell football. 

I mean, the wind is bad...

Right we will get something out of this. 

Running off the pitch at HT is the most work some of the players have done all afternoon

god knows how we have only conceded 3 

Team talk to Gilkes: if you get the ball for either a drop kick or goal kick, lump the fucker into the wind.

Team talk to rest of team: if Gilkes has the ball, go stand in a position 20 - 25 yards from Carlisle’s goal and be ready to control the ball.

We’ll piss this game when Carlisle are down to 9 men because of their indiscipline.

Good job there's not a crew of Bolton fans there

Santos started that yet again clumsy 

No way that was a free kick though

No way at all

There probably is but they won’t show themselves until our 93rd minute winner goes in.

Didn't sense anything other than a defeat. Just feels we don't do well on boxing day.

Have a few long range efforts second half, who knows.

Give over 

We’ve about 5/6 bigger problems so far 

 

Thomasson is the bright spot

According to I follow stats neither team has had a clear cut chance. 

37 minutes ago, jules_darby said:

Why pick on him though? 
 

We just struggle when aggressive teams press us

Those goals werent really to do with that though, its not like we've been bullied into conceding, the first is a routine keeper cock up, the 2nd is a really good free kick and finish, the 3rd is a mistake by Baptiste but a superb finish that we can only dream of.  Bottom line is they look like they have better players than us, doesn't look like we've been bullied.
