ROUND UP
A run of four wins in five games from the end of November to the beginning of January saw things start to look up for The Cumbrians but a run of eight games without a win has seen them slip back into the drop zone. Their 0-3 defeat at home on Saturday was the fifth game in a row at Brunton Park they have played without a win. They make the long trip to East London on Saturday where a win would put them two points below Leyton Orient who are currently in 18th position so all is not lost yet! They slipped out of the league for one season in 2004/05 when they were promoted back via the play-offs. They have since played in League One for eight seasons after winning League Two at the first attempt in 2005/06.
