We have been thumped in one game and all of a sudden #ColU fans are thinking we are relegation contenders lol. Still 3rd

There’s always one game in a season where you lose badly sadly today was one of them hopefully the team can bounce back next Saturday gonna be a big ask #colu

Chris Bright

4-0 🤦 So harsh on traveling fans but asking for money back ect really part and parcel of football losing

Nathan Tansley

Credit to the #colu fans going to Carlisle this time of year! Still yet to do that myself, hoping for another good performance. Cheer the U's to victory!
