Early kick-off's are great, I get to start ignoring my work even earlier.

Who said Stockton would be rested? Pretty full team except for those on international duties.

[AndyReifman]

Decent first half. I'm actually a bit surprised by the number of chances we've had.

Could see this ending nil-nil and going to pens at this rate.

[Born again Bill]

Can Carlisle still qualify ?

[Keith]

Well taken free-kick.

i was just writing about defending set pieces and .........

[MFC-Manc]

Gone to pieces, Carlisle are all over us

[AndyReifman]

Not a great few minutes but this is about where I expected us to be. Suspect Carlisle might sit back now and we'll get one later on.

[Keith]

0-2 this time from a corner. Mendez has made a couple of good saves. Very poor since half-time.

[Born again Bill]

Carlisle , a team that couldn't buy a win until Saturday when they beat a lower league team and they are running rings round our almost first team !

I did!!, turns out it's the whole team resting

[Angler1]

Absolute crap, I know people will say it doesn't matter its only the Johnsons paint trophy but it does matter its about building some momentum. Honest its really poor.....

[Angler1]

I actually turned it off, it's depressing...

Glad I made the decision to stop at home !

[Keith]

We’re really not very good at the Football League Trophy. Have we ever got out of the group stages?

[MFC-Manc]

However bad it is on tv, it’s worse here….
We can’t pass to each other

Carlisle look like the division 1 team

Should have stopped that sentence before the words "league Trophy".

[fulwoodshrimp]

We don’t seem to be improving and in fact we are deteriorating rapidly. Not only do we need players in the transfer window but we need to see some impact from the manager. He doesn’t seem to be able to improve players with his coaching.He seems to analyse performances but no evidence of any impact.

[Born again Bill]

In some respects I hope our game against Buxton isn't televised if this is the rubbish we are dishing up !

[fulwoodshrimp]

Buxton will fancy their chances. We are not looking like a League 1 club.

[Angler1]

Buxton away doesn't look that easy after this heartless performance...

[P/T Indie]

I got shot down on Saturday for saying we rode our luck and a league 1 team would have put 2 or 3 past us.

We need as many league games called off as possible and not rearranged until after we have some new players in Jan.

[Keith]

The only good thing to take from this, is that we played our youngsters and fringe players.
