@officialcufc.bsky.social have failed to win 41 of their last 49 home games. This appalling record has continued through three managers and a huge turnover of players. Hughes has got to find a solution soon, otherwise fans' patience will run out.

It was great that @officialcufc.bsky.social got a win away last Saturday to start the season, but the next two games at home- tomorrow & Tuesday - could be season-defining. Win them both and the momentum could enable us to compete for the one automatic promotion place.

Setting of to Woking to join the @officialcufc.bsky.social Blue Army for our first game of the NL season. After two miserable seasons, minimum expectations are to be able to look forward to going to games again, and compete for a play-off place, even if we fall short in the end.

It's going to be a hot start to the season for the 1000+ strong Blue Army at Woking. Better than getting wet on our uncovered terrace but we will need the sun screen

Summing up UK politics today - a minority of people (mainly white and old) have got all the money. When the rest, who are struggling to pay their bills, ask where it has gone, Farage and co are pointing at immigrants and saying they have taken it all.

Linney is different gravy from the rest of our strikers. We are going to need him to stay fit. Every time he gets the ball, you can see him thinking 'how am I going to score from here'.

On the evidence of yesterday's performance at Chester, we are not going to win games with our silky smooth football, at least to begin with. Blood & guts, and getting the ball to Linney as often as possible, can get us into the winning habit. Better stuff will come later with confidence.

Don't know why Lidl aren't on this platform, but their wholemeal bread flour is fantastic value. £1.09 for 1.5 Kg. That will make three large loaves in a bread maker. Add a bit of dried yeast, sugar, salt & veg oil, and electricity and that comes out at under 50p for a loaf.

All of a sudden, things are looking up in the USA. Trump and Musk at war. I can see Trump doing very badly in the mid-terms next year. Republicans find a way of dumping him and installing Vance for the remainder of the term. Vance runs in 2028 as incumbent and loses to whoever the Democrats put up.

No news yet on the National League fixture release date. It was 10 July last year, so much later than the EFL date (26 June this year). @carlisleunited.bsky.social first game will be away because of the delay in pitch preparation, and at 3pm on 9 August unless we get picked for DAZN coverage.
