They only had 86 fans there tonight. Reckon town would at least double that if it was in Plymouth on a Tuesday night already relegated

They are sill only 3 points from safety so plenty of time for them to rescue the situation. I think some wishful thinking in play if we think they are as good as down.

Dunno! They have that doomed vibe going on. The one we know all too well.

They've won something like 2 games out of the last 30 stretching over last season and this. Hard to put the brakes on when the slide starts.

Still a long way to go yet. So I won’t be indulging in any premature gloating. They’re still a division above us.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

We went down with 43 points and scored 37 goals. They have played 13 games (about 1/3rd ) and have 8 points with 8 goals; 3 of those points came with their only win in August, which all looks like relegation form to me, hopefully.

Yep, they have a PPG so far that extrapolates to 28 points over the course of the season. They might improve, but they have a transfer embargo, an owner who doesn’t want to spend any money, a poor squad and a manager out of his depth.

This is more an observation than a gloat; I’d be amazed if they find a way out of this.

Interesting number, 86. I noticed that according to the match stats on flashscores Carlisle had 86% possession in the second half, that's quite incredible. Also there are only 12 points that separate Scunny from the play-offs. I agree it's very early to writing a team off but it certainly looks very hard to see a way that team/manager/director combo can make the changes needed.

Maybe Carlisle had all the possession because Newport had two players sent off

The comparisons between us last year and Scunny this are valid in my opinion, although for different reasons
They do seem to be in that downward spiral that's tough to escape. The manager is clearly not up to the job and the supporters appear to have given up looking at the numbers. If the owner was showing the slightest interest in their plight they could hold some hope, but he seems to have gone awol and they appear to be drifting to the cliff edge collectively
I honestly don't know if I feel sorry for them or I'm deliriously happy at their situation but probably erring towards sympathy. All in all it makes NE Lincs look like a joke and a hopeless backwater and as a proud Grimbarian that's not good

Scunny are bottom of the league and in a tailspin while we are top of our league, scoring goals for fun, playing football not seen since (cue Heavenly Chorus) Lord Alan and we have owners who care and seem like good people.

Wishful thinking? This has been the best 3 months of my f*cking life!
