Bad goal to conceed. Again need to close down on edge of the box. John Yems needs to explain why Watters isnt on the pitch and why our defence doesnt get stuck in more. These dirty Northern b@stards are dictating too much of this game.
Haven't been watching this one. Didn't know it was a 13.30 start. BBC stats say 0 attempts on goal compared to their 11? Sounds really bad.
Nothing on target. Strange team selection, tactics, subs, what have you got to say for yourself Yems? Awful match. Chaotic shambles especially defending. The ref wasn't great though, let things go he should not have and Carlisle went to ground looking for free-kicks, nevertheless a dire performance by Crawley.
Awful performance. Bullied all over the pitch by Carlisle- typical bruiser team you find at this level- not helped by a shockingly bad referee who gave all decisions their way including many bizarre calls. We need to learn how to play against these anti football teams (Cheltenham were the same) too many lightweight players. Nothing went right today- not a single shot on target at home! Nothing positive about that game- everyone was poor including Morris who twice spilled the ball into the opposing players path- third goal was a routine save he spilled after we couldn’t clear the ball- non league stuff. Terrible performance against an average Carlisle team. Must do better!!!!
I do believe Watters was subbed at Harrogate because of an injury.
Other than that I'm at a loss to explain just how poor we were today.
I think our wide areas were all at sea today. No idea of how to defend or attack. I would really be having a right go at them except the central midfield was worse!
Quite easy to see how to beat us. Long balls into the channel between full back and central defenders and the opposition midfielders are not challenged for the second ball.
Spit, scream and swear. Now brush ourselves down for the next match.
Very poor..don't understand why hessentaler went of when allarkhia should have taken off at half time.. Defence the main issue again, Craig and mcnerney both to slow and cumbersome. Doherty was the usual Doherty, ok going forward but can't defend to save his life..he ran out the box for their 2nd goal... we should have replaced him 2 years ago but seems he is indispensable.. We will be no more than a struggling mid table side unless we get some decent full backs... Finally wasn't it nice of us to change kick off time for them so they could get back nice an early...let's stop being nice and make it an unpleasant journey for them and keep kick off time as it should be, if they get home late so what..

90 mins earlier ko is a joke. Its not like the players will be driving the coach back to their Northern slums. All these chopping and changing ko constantly does is mess fans about.

You are right. Why are we making such concessions when clearly we need as many advantages as we can get! We were a soft touch on the pitch too.

If supporters are still excluded, we might want an early game for the return fixture.
Don’t get why some here are moaning about team selection when we have injuries. Who do we have realistically that should play. I’ll refer back to my comment in a previous thread that the subs really have to up their game and step up as it’s not good enough(Sesay and Tarryn come to mind today).As for Watters, Yems has said he’s been having fitness issues and we can’t just expect him to make magic for us week in week out. They were just the better team and we were not good enough on the day that’s it. We go again Tuesday.
