Morecambe 0 Carlisle 2 LIVE thread

[Angler1]

We are worse than bad, we are 2-0 down and 99% relegated...this team is pants...

[jona77]

Let’s see what the “ King”’makes of this dire performance!!!!

[Redalert1970]

Biggest game of the season

Worst performance of the season

26 defeats we deserve to be relegated to be brutally honest

[Keith]

Half-time substitutions

Dallas>Fairclough
Tutonda>Lewis
Hope>Tollit
White>Taylor

Who went off? White is still on the pitch. 'Flashscore' said it was White off, and I thought that's what was said at half-time.

Or, are we playing with twelve players, and still crap?

[Keith]

White>Dackers

White substituted for a second time!!!

[Keith]

I'm glad I'm not the sponsor, having to decide on a MotM I'd probably give it to Fairclough just because nobody deserves it. Poor throughout the pitch. Relegated with a whimper.

[Keith]

Carlisle to win National League next season.
Morecambe to be relegated from the National League next season.

Horrible to see our club being sucked dry by a leech of a lying owner.

[Redalert1970]

Results count but looking at the stats...

Morecambe
Shots 12 on target 3

Carlisle
Shots 08 on target 3

Sponsors thought the same, and gave it to Fairclough.

[Wild Bill]

Bugger. We really are in last chance saloon now

[jona77]

Even Harrogate have shown some fight against Grimsby to get 2 late goals and be drawing! Where’s the fight been from this team?!!!!

[jona77]

You’re dreaming wild bill of you think we are going to stay up now!

[jona77]

Wow 3 3 Accy. V Tranmere!

[Redalert1970]

Tranmere come from 3 down to draw 3 3 at
Accy

If Carlisle win at Accy on Easter Monday it could be Morecambe and Accy going down

[dannymorc1]

All the good football we have played this season against the odds, and now somehow we have fallen apart. We're just a ghost of a team now, gaps all over the pitch. The opposition want the win more than we appear to. We have had to play the season handicapped by the total indifference of an owner who doesn't give a dam about the club. His arrogant and deceitful behaviour looks to have cost us our football league status, bar a miracle. I can't write down the words I want to say about how I feel about him.
Thanks for nothing TWITtingham, killer of sports clubs.

Not a hope in hell. Relegation may not be mathematically confirmed today, but the reality is, we're down with a whimper. We need to win four on the trot. I can't see us even scoring in each of those games, let alone winning.

Accrington, 3-0 at half time, conceded in the eleventh minute of time added on to go 3-3!!!

[Redalert1970]

Last 4 games...

Bromley (a) draw at best
Salford (h) draw
Chesterfield (a) loss
Harrogate (h) draw

3 points which would give us 39

[Redalert1970]

Carlisle have a chance now of staying up..

Not an easy run in though

Port Vale (h)
Accy (a)
Cheltenham (a)
Salford (h)

From the Grimsby match thread:

Very poor today. Our only tactic appears to be Burgoyne hoof the ball in to touch and wait for it to come straight back. No football being played, and we're not winning the hoof-ball. Grimsby don't look very good, but we've been awful.

Having been so shit last week, we decided to continue with the aimless hoof-ball.

Whack the ball up the pitch, Carlisle defence win the ball and attack.

Never seen Derek disappear down the tunnel after the final whistle...blink and you missed him...

[jona77]

The hoof ball has got to come from the manager! He’s dictating that tactics! Which proves he’s a bit inept as it didn’t work last time out so why try it again?!! Owner 90 % culpable for our position but some responsibility has got to be aimed at Derek!!

[Redalert1970]

Not sticking up for Jason far from it but I'm afraid 26 defeats is not all on him

I'm going to work devastated but hey ho it's a game of football.. Lot worse things happening around the country and the world

[Strangeways Shrimp]

I know we are all hurting after this result, it was in our hands to get the 3 points today. Are we leaving it too late. There are 12 points to be had now, let's go again next week it's not over yet let's still believe we can do it.
No use blaming the manager or the team, we all know why we are in this position, but save that for another day.
Need to get behind the team for the last games now and believe we can stay up. It's not over yet.

[Redalert1970]

Chesterfield and Salford still got an outside chance of the play offs so it's going to be tough to stay up that's for sure

Can't blame the players effort just not enough quality

Take a look at our season. We will be lucky to get between 4 and 7 points. It's game over.
