Worst away record and still beat us.
Mcdonald was here last time with Phil Brown.
We did not perform to stay up then and others below us capitulated so stayed up by default.
Need to get a new Manager in quick who can keep us up.

2140. Likely not many from Cheltenham.

That must be worrying for the owners.

2140 includes over 1000 season ticket holders.

1000 paying fans missing from usual attendance.

Wasn't for a lack of effort, simply a lack of quality.

Worrying times , new manager needed now to bring the results and excitement back, thought we played well, started the game with loads of chances, they had two and won, but that’s football. Very poor crowd again, with the amount of money the owners have spent the Furness and barrow area doesn’t deserve a league 2 team with these none league attendances.

Go and get Ferguson

Home form is now officially diabolical. Fortress Holker Street has disappeared. The crowds are dropping at an alarming rate. The place has a real feel of non-league again.

Exactly this. Lots of huff and puff but lacking quality at both ends. Big alarm bells after this

Unfortunately fans are fickle and poor football and results will deter a lot from coming, plus the close proximity to Christmas and no doubt a few Christmas parties etc. easy choice to make on our current run for some.

A better performance it seems and effort but same outcome all too familiar. It’s obvious where our shortfalls are there’s a decent set of players in there but really missing a solid base to build on, need Canavan back and to his best and better players than raglan alongside him and even Shipley probably. Upfront we do create chances when we go for it and have goals in us, again we need someone better than Innes Cameron at least, and when is Tyler Walker back does anyone know?

A new manager is needed soon too give us the best chance of getting people in and putting together a run.

I remember Swindon - falling apart a couple of years ago got Holloway in and although didn't happen right away has turned them completely round. Beginning to think Ferguson might be a half decent shout. Trouble is can we afford him? We have a bit of time to get out of this downward spiral but perhaps we need to look at a successful experienced lower league manager now who has had success. Worried.

Bristol just drew at Crewe (who only had 10 men for most of the match) but Evans has the ability to get that lot moving again. Stopped the 10 defeats in a row already.

We haven’t won at home in the league for NINETY DAYS! I’m not surprised crowds have plummeted! We are awful to watch.

Appreciate the point mate, but we still support the club , given the amount the owners have spent and the fact that (despite the result) we were the way better team. I remember in a qna Shearer wanted the crowds to be near 4k, 2k makes a big difference on income, which the owners have to make up for .

Said to radio Cumbria last week out fans sound exactly the same as Carlisle dude last season and they went down. Its getting worse every week

An up tempo version of the same frailties.

Created more, couldnt score.
Passing braver, final ball decision making questionable
Poor defending when it is fewest mistakes win

Bad start to the festive sesson.

Ho flaming Ho

2 poor goals to concede our defence is so easy to play against constantly backing off thought Williams and Shipley were poor, Stanway seemed to hesitate on the second goal if he comes flying out it would have been much harder for him to score!
After about 60 minutes we looked tired, Earing was running on empty and Barkhuizen wasn't far behind him !
Gordon missed 2 sitters and why don't we leave someone up at corners?
We are in big trouble, the board have to get a new guy in
This wingback fascination is now embarrassing Whitfield and Barkhuizen can't defend!
We need a Leader on the pitch once we go behind the heads drop
This season has been a total disaster Whing went what about the other 2 clowns Joe Harvey and Woods they're responsible as well, 48 years absolutely wasted!

Although they did win 1-0 at Swindon last time out.
