How many players come to Carlisle with a good reputation and end up being a disappointment? A lot, I'd say. What goes wrong at the club, what do we do or not do with these players? You have to wonder about the coaching, and whether the players we bring in fit the tactics we want to play, or are the only players we can get to come here.

We have Players who are signed until Summer 25 who could easily be ‘Squad Padding’ for any L2 campaign, who would then be released if we won Promotion again? I’m thinking likes of Barclay and McCalmont at present? Done enough last Season, but not kicked on this… Understand your logic but McCalmont ? Absolute enigma to me . Came with a reputation and I’ve seen none of any supposed ability in this league or division 2 tbh. Games just pass him by with him more or less anonymous on the pitch. Agree re. MC Calmont. Had a couple of half decent games early on last season but then was mostly anonymous. Nowhere near it this season.

Funny really but as a kid I always remember us playing some terrific football in the 70’s particularly the team that got us to the old first division. That was with a squad of not much more than 15/16 players. Maybe it’s just an age thing and I thought they were better than they actually were. We had some great Scottish lads in those days and I know Simmo alluded to it at the Kendal forum but we really need to be picking talent up from here.

Going back to the Kendal forum last week, I`m sure Simmo indicated there were transfer targets identified for the close season, he may have specific players in mind for team positions that need strengthening. In any case he`ll be in a stronger position than in the January sales.

Ben Wilson age 22.. Cliftonville , in the Brighton youth system from 2018-23 released and went back to Northern Ireland scored 17 in 25 games. Could be worth a look.

As a club we should be the first port of call for many Scottish players. Pick them up for around 150-200K develop them and sell them on for a tidy profit. Recently many decent players have ended up at Plymouth etc looking to make their way into the English game.

Is it just me but sounds absolutely ridiculous we’re still scrabbling amount looking for free agents at this point in the season, doesn’t give much confidence to the bunch they’ve already got , I wish Simpson would make his mind up and try and get some kind of settled side and system

From Simpson's point he has been set a target by the Piatak family, losing all 15 games doesn't seem ridiculous at this time It's Simpson who is desperate

Simpson's post match comments about momentum were along the lines of "keep giving them a consistent message" - haven't we used three different systems in the last three games?!

One or two on here deffo worth a look? Are any on the list based in Bradford / Yorkshire or carrying persistent injuries? If not, it's pretty pointless even mentioning them.
