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!

How can you instruct a short corner in these conditions?? This tells you all you need to know about our manager.

One track mind 

This shall be our formation

we shall play this way 

This is how we will work corners 

regardless of the opposition, score, conditions or anything. Simple as that

I don't want to think that's a possibility but the fixture list from now till Salford in Feb looks daunting for this team/formation.  We've got a cushion of about 6 points to play with before this becomes serious.

Let’s not go too far 

we are mid table and it probably about right 

It’s wank but we don’t have to be world beaters or relegation fodder

May also be indicative of a lack of leadership on the pitch. Sometimes a captain needs to make some decisions and grab his team mates by the proverbial.. 

Did their number 32 not catch the ball?

This cunt is giving them EVERY fucking decision

Get that Gethin Jones off - the man is awful and how bad is that Isgrove

What is the formation with baptiste gong off.

Woah! Jones is only 25 and Isgrove is only 27.

How the fuck do you not have a heart attack every Saturday 🤣🤣

Sarcevic has improved hugely since Isgrove came on, but bloody hell he dropped a bollock trying to have a shot rather than playing in Doyle.

Replace them with who though ?  Anyone on the bench any better?

Refs a bad un 

Do they know they are losing? No fucking urgency at all, pathetic

It’s that final third decision making again

we’re drifting out of this a bit now 

Bring Delfonso on. 

56% possession

We are going to batter them all half and score 0

They battered us first half and scored 3.

That's the difference.

I'm a genius

Final third we never seem to play as a team. Every week It’s like they’ve never played together and have no idea where each other will be

Its really odd

Again IE has to take blame

Time wasting cunts

We dont seem to play as a team and no urgency had enough it's been like this for way too long now.

The linesman wasn’t even looking at the feet of the thrower. I thought that was his job.

Has their keeper had a save to make this half? It is shocking how little we create, we just don't look like scoring.

 

Now Carlisle are starting to get back into it

This! In the odd game when we do actually look Ok, we still don't create much. Delfonsu and Doyle loo like strangers, our crossing is abysmal, so whats the  point in this bloody formation.

The more the ball is near your goal, the more chance you have to concede

Anyway, lets take aview at 90 minutes

Ii reckon we lose 4 3

Make that 3 1

This has been more disappointing than first half
