Crawley Town midfielder Bulman '˜frustrated' at disappointing defeat to Carlisle
The result was Crawley’s second defeat of the week, after Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Newport County, and leaves Harry Kewell’s side in 20th, with just three wins, including only one at home, but Bulman does not believe they are too far away from success.
He said: “It’s more frustrating than anything. Their keeper made two fantastic saves in the first half and that’s the way things are going this season.

“You can’t please people all of the time, we’re playing a brand of football that hasn’t been seen too much down here.
“When we went through the leagues, we didn’t play attractive football, we played winning football and I’m sure we can turn it around.
“We’re working hard week-in, week-out and things can only get better.

“It’s little margins that are costing us at the moment but we’re working hard to put that right.”
Bulman, 38, acknowledges that the current home form is a concern but believes they can soon change their fortunes at the Checkatrade Stadium.
He added: “It’s a concern but we’re working on it week-in, week-out.

“We’ve just got to work hard and concentrate in front of goal. We have to defend well and stick one away when the chances come along.
“We’re not going to shy away from the boos of the crowd when we don’t get results but we will kick-on and go again.”
