Re: Carlisle away

Today's result at rock bottom Carlisle proves only two things;
1. This is possibly our worst squad, even including our non-league days, when we were capable of competing with and sometimes beating established league teams.
Today, we'd be the one's struggling to beat those non-league teams. if there's any doubt look back at our pre-season friendlies against the likes of Buxton, Clitheroe and Lancaster City.
2. In football only one thing really matters - MONEY!
It is an irrefutable fact that money + football equals success. For a prime example of this look no further than Wrexham.
From non-league obscurity to automatic promotion spot (today) into the Championship in only three seasons.
Of course football has had it's share of magicians who appear capable of making a silk purse from a sow's ear but, in the long run, financial pressures usually come calling - and they're knocking on our door now.
This season has been a wake-up call. If by some miracle we survive, there must be better investment in the team next year.
If we don't survive after 46 games , we will be where we deserve to be.
