See how the press reported our defeat in Cumbria

The Sentinel

CREWE manager Steve Davis bemoaned two minutes of madness which sent Crewe sliding to a fourth successive defeat at Carlisle United tonight.

The Alex were beaten 2-1, with both of the Cumbrians' goals coming in first-half stoppage time through Sean O'Hanlon and Matty Robson.

Harry Davis pulled a goal back in the dying moments of the second half, but the Alex's winless sequence stretched to eight games.

"I had my half-time talk prepared and it all changed," said Davis.

"The game was pretty even and we could have had a penalty and the 'goal' Vadaine Oliver scored was chalked off.

"We made two errors and within the space of a couple of minutes we were 2-0 down and I had to change what I was going to say.

"We looked at changing our shape and tried to be more positive after half-time. We had several chances and their keeper made two or three good saves.

"Harry Davis got on the end of a corner and the fact he's our top scorer tells its own story, but those few minutes cost us."

The defeat leaves the Alex second-from-bottom of the League One table.

The result has left the Alex second bottom of League One and four points from safety.

Two goals in a minute from Sean O'Hanlon and Matty Robson earned Carlisle United their first league win for over a month.

The Cumbrians clinched the points thanks to a quick double-strike on the stroke of half-time.

First, Dave Symington's shot was glanced home by O'Hanlon.

Then Robson raced clear to make it two, shortly before the half-time whistle.

Harry Davis headed in a late consolation for the visitors.
