    really feel for him - he’s just glued to his line and diving too late.

    Ok folks I know you've all been waiting for my opinion.:p
    Lewis, unfortunately so far is a very average replacement for the three previous keepers this season, however playing behind 'that' defence would give the best keeper in the land nightmares, as has been proved with the other three. After saying that he had his worst game (by far) on Saturday, 2nd goal was absolutely horrendous. But its like a plague isn't it? (as I'm sure Bradford fans are aware) once you get into that losing mentally, and unfortunately we are well and truly into that, so much so that scoring a 'goal' at the moment would be bloody excellent.
    One thing I didn't realise (as with most Carlisle fans) is the 'step up' in quality, teams seem to be bigger stronger more physical and with much more composure than we were used to in Div 2.
    Anyway providing Bradford don't make too much of an effort to get into the promotion picture over the coming weeks, we'll be meeting again next season, because as sure as night follows day we're back in the basement league again next season.
    All the best

    It was a speeding ticket he got, not a drink driving conviction!!

    The worrying thing for me is, we always have a keeper who is good when they join us, but after a few months you see silly mistakes creeping into their play.. its happened to all our most recent keepers.. Lewis towards the end of his time with us was becoming a bit of a calamity keeper, maybe we need to invest in a new keeper coach

    We will no doubt see you next season. we are just on our annual lets improve results, as we have season tickets to sell soon.
    Its a shame for Lewis. seems a really good bloke and had a great year for us, but no doubt the Barnsley link affected his form.

    That’s been happening for years under various goalkeeper coaches.

    It’s just the nature of the beast with lower league keepers, the constantly good ones go up well above this level and the constantly bad don’t last long. Then you get the rest who go through good and bad patches that make up most lower league keepers.

    The frustrating thing is that the constantly good ones that go up well above this level often end up bench warming at best, third or fourth choice at worst. Understandably they go for the money but what a waste of talent.

    Doesn't the question all depend on if it's Sam or Jamie in goals ?
