Doesnt Smith primarily play on the right though, Smith/Hayes on one side and Middleton/Duberry on the left kind of makes sense signings options wise |

Id probably say Accrington play an expansive style, we had 1 shot on target in 90+ mins, seems it's that expansive it only appears once every few games...... the trick seems to be wait to concede then realise its blatantly not working then react and change, or better still wait to the 4th goal whistles in then think of possibly changing things around |

Similarly with Hendo too start him and see how long he lasts, we look absolutely void of anything up front for any decent spells during games, the first half at Crewe showed some decent forward play but again no end product with just Brown to aim at in the box.
Not sure how anyone could possibly describe 'Watsons way' as expansive football, jesus wept today was too predictable, slow paced, with a side order of too many sideways and backwards passing offering less than zero up front, if thats expansive give me the complete opposite every week please. |

Pretty sure IW has a bit more control of things and accountability im afraid, id love to hear his thoughts why he didnt bother making any changes after half time probably even earlier on when it was clear as day after 15 mins we were clearly second best all over the pitch, still not to worry Dale managed to make a team without an away win since FEBRUARY look like PSG but we did a good job doing similar with Grimsby too midweek.
Its glaringly obvious we have next to zero up front how we currently set up yet things noticeably change usually when Hendo inevitably enters the field, sadly thats generally chasing the game by that point though. |

And in pops the equaliser, fully deserved too for Grimsby, we've not controlled the ball anywhere near enough and been punished |

Somehow very much under the cosh, a poor first half in comparison to Sat, while getting caught out playing out from the back too often |

We've got a striker that seems to have dissappeared from a couple of days ago, surely not yet another injury in the squad??? |

Not sure what their gaffer is talking about as deluded as he is that Hayes goal was a fluke and it just 'hit him on the head' he's clearly read the ball towards goal and directed it in, dont mind a bit of Flint giving it them either after getting stick. Ball is still a massive vvanker 👍 |

It seems most Carlisle fans think they've won the league every single year before a balls even kicked such is their arrogance, the longer they stay down there the better 👍 |

Opinions are all subjective, league positions are still ability based and always have been, same with kids football the better teams play in a higher league for a reason.
Last season we were less physical and nice whilst lacking pace all over the team too, something that looks like its been/being addressed with various signings most recently Flint who as pointed out in this post by DA struggled early in the game today whilst trying to pass the ball out from the back, hes far bigger than anyone we had last season and his dominance and aggression to defend was massively needed in this side, that's not an insult to last season more an acknowledgement to what this side needs.
Its not a coincidence we picked up so many wins whilst also playing at the lowest level in our history, the very same reason why we wont and never have won as many games in this division, because its far harder and a better ability level. |

It is the lowest standard of football we've ever played at any point in time,its a division below for a reason, similarly had we dropped out of division 4 decades ago however crap the standard in the division below was then it would still have been a drop down as it still is today, nothing to do with a 'superiority complex' its simply factual.
We had a soft belly last season while in the main relying on tippy tappy possession based football it worked results wise no doubt about it, whether you enjoy watching that is all down to personal preference, I found large chunks of games as dull as dish water and boring, some friends of mine felt similar watching City too under Pep for the very same reason.
Id say having the least amount of yellow/red cards out of all 24 teams goes someway to back up the above too, still not sure how winning a certain amount of games quantifies a team for being either nice/not nice though, how does that work? [Post edited 19 Sep 19:09]

Whilst also playing at the lowest level in the clubs history too, whats your point?
What is it that you've 'missed' and clearly dont agree with? |

Why wouldn't you naturally put Flint on Fondop for set pieces especially, I like how he bosses everyone else around him too, like a 'proper' captain. |

Ramming is a big concern, his kicking amd the choices he makes when being closed down are a worry, he also doesn't commend his area well enough when he comes out for a catch. Big shift put in and Gilmour was absolutely everywhere Moss is just quality. We do look a bit more physical and aggressive which is nice to see, I thought the whole team looked too soft (nice) last season |

Surely you'd want Flint on the end of a long throw not actually taking it 🤷♂️ |
