Next season is a glorious opportunity for promotion that we need to grab! I hope the club isn’t looking at York/Rochdale being out of the picture and simply relaxing and resting on our laurels. Other teams will come back stronger & better - we need to make sure we do too. #cufc

This week we need some sort of news/update on what’s going on at @officialcufc with the manager/football staff. The longer this goes on the more rumours pop up (good & bad), the more anxiety it creates in the fanbase and the more negativity it brings. #cufc

@JimMcErnest @MikeEwins I don’t know what part of over the whole season is so difficult to grasp. Only Rochdale and York were better over the season. That is a fact. You could pick out many isolated games where one team were better than another in certain games. But that’s not the point.

Rochdale up. Thank god for that. The best outcome for us. The only two teams that were better than us over the season up and out of the league.

@JohnRoutledge11 @Tomw0892 It’s the catalogue of cock ups that you get with Mellish though. That’s the reason it’s a no from me. But I wouldn’t at all be surprised if he ends up back here.

@cufcstuff @Tomw0892 Also This is Galvin and Mellish heat map next to each other. very very similar. Galvin just tucks in more. which mellish will be fine doing imo. And when your one of the better sides wing back or full back you bomb on wither way.

We need to stop our obsession with ex players so its a no from me, only one is I would bring back is Mox but cant see that happening while we are in the NL #cufc

@JohnRoutledge11 @Tomw0892 Left wing back does make best use of his attributes (direct running and engine). Although as of now we don’t play with wing backs… Not sure about him playing left back in a back 4. I think we’d see the same old mistake and limitations that we saw at centre back.

@cufcstuff @Tomw0892 He’s just kept Joe Tomlinson (One of the best left back in the league) out the team in a promotion winning MK dons side at LWB. At centre back he was shakey yes especially in a back 2. But as a left back 110%. Going off how well he’s done there last season.

@JohnRoutledge11 @Tomw0892 I wouldn’t bring Mellish back. We’ve just released defenders who were prone to mistakes leading to goals. Mellish has a catalogue of mistakes/cock ups/own goals for Carlisle alone. We can and should be looking to get much better.

@Tomw0892 Mellish aswell. Done very well for mk dons at LWB. And we know how good of a defender he is. Would be a class left back at this level.

@MikeEwins Over the whole season they weren’t better than us. Only York and Rochdale were.

@cufcstuff Boreham Wood were better than us, but they will almost certainly lose Abdul Malik and Brunt. Hard to see them being as good next season.

With York and Rochdale out of the picture, what an opportunity there is to win the title next season. We simply have to grab it. Bring in the much needed quality to make it happen. No excuses 💪🏼 💙 #cufc @officialcufc @CastleSportsGrp

@parkinsonross Doesn’t need much in numbers, but what we do bring in needs to be quality, like starters. Particularly the two midfielders, they need to be better than what we’ve got and better than this level. Ready to start and dominate games. We need to be serious about going for the title.

That’s a pretty strong base and really doesn’t need much to have us top of this league.

That looks like a lot of salary space saved for some real quality signings this summer. The base of the squad is there, just need the manager situation sorted either way then add some much needed bits of quality to enhance this squad. #cufc

I would also add that the club owe it the fans to really go for it next season. Push the boat out on adding some real quality to the squad. Looking at the National League next season - what an opportunity. We need to go and grab it! Not just sit and hope it might happen. #cufc

Hughes has done a fantastic job this season given the mess we were in last year. But next year has to be title/promotion and if a new manager gives us a better chance, do it. You can look at this season as a reset, building blocks etc. Next year has to be success. Nothing less

It’s painful today, but we’re not a million miles away. We got 95 points and lost in the playoff semi final. Pretty much the exact same season as York City had last year. We don’t need to rip it up and start again, just add bits of quality and we can push on next season. #cufc

Decision needs made soon on the manager. If it’s Hughes or someone else it needs sorted asap so we can plan the squad to push on next season and be at the front of the queue for players. Big summer ahead now. #cufc

@warwickroadend Worked well. The sound carries across the full stadium much better from there than the Warwick.

Honest opinions on the East Stand singing section today please 👇

95 points is a phenomenal total given the seasons we’re coming off the back of. Whatever happens in the next week or two, there is certainly something good to build on for next season whichever league we’re in. #cufc

@NL_Enterprise “As the EFL has previously stated, 3UP will require a vote of approval from the majority of its clubs” This bit is why it will never happen.

@SophieBirnie You ran back from Truro?

Official 173 🙏🏻

🔹 If Carlisle United win next week, we’ll finish the season on 95 points which would have been enough to be champions in 5 of the last 10 National League seasons. #cufc
