Carlisle shook off their misfortunes with a crucial win over Salford on Saturday, though Mike Williamson’s squad remains precariously close to the relegation zone.

Update: 12.11.24

Saturday delivered much-needed relief for the Cumbrians, halting their nine-game streak without a win with a gritty 1-0 triumph over Salford City. It was substitute Ben Barclay who stepped up, breaking the stalemate to secure just their third league victory this season, and fans are clinging to this as a spark of hope after a rocky start.

Welcome three points

More losses than any other League Two squad

With fifteen fixtures behind them, the Cumbrians have scraped together just eleven points, racking up more defeats than any other team in the league. Situated only a point above Morecambe, who clinched a win against Harrogate Town this weekend, Carlisle is flirting dangerously with the basement.

The competition in the league is fierce, with Mike Williamson's squad just a single point away from the safety line. However, bookies are not optimistic, slating Carlisle United as prime candidates for relegation at a sweet spot of 3/1. Morecambe still leads the relegation charge at odds of 17/20, with Harrogate Town pegged at 9/4 to drop out by the end of 2024/25.

Hugely competitive division

Carlisle United handed managerial reins to Mike Williamson in a bid to reverse their fortunes, but the inherited players have yet to prove they're match winners.

Eighteen months ago, times were rosy for Carlisle United. A playoff victory at Wembley propelled them into League One, and a fresh era dawned with new American owners at the helm. Expectations were high as Brunton Park saw upgrades and hopes of a promotion run ahead, now dashed with the team spiraled back to the fourth tier.

Promotion

In stark reality, hopes for a quick return to League One have been crushed. After fourteen games this season, Carlisle is buried in the relegation zone, just four points away from reaching safe ground. There's plenty of time yet on the clock for a turnaround, but based on recent outings, that's a tall order.

Relegation

The hard truth facing the Cumbrians is more losses (10) than any other fourth-tier team, with a paltry two wins from fourteen league showdowns. Even with home advantage, Carlisle's sole victory was a narrow 1-0 against Barrow in August, failing to rally their home supporters.

Single home win

Former favorites for promotion, Carlisle now find themselves battling to avoid the plunge into the National League, with some bookmakers offering odds as steep as 5/2. Presently, Morecambe sits slightly above Carlisle in the relegation stakes, marked at 4/5, trailing just a point behind.
