The 2018-19 campaign was a turbulent season of transition for Carlisle United as The Cumbrians ultimately finished 11th in League Two, missing out on the play-offs for the second successive year. The year saw a mid-season managerial change from John Sheridan to Steven Pressley, who struggled to find a consistent goalscorer despite the efforts of Hallam Hope, who topped the charts with 14 crucial league goals (15 overall). The true standout was playmaker Jamie Devitt, named Player of the Season, whose 11 league goals anchored an inconsistent side that could only manage a respectable run to the FA Cup Second Round. It remains a frustrating chapter in the club's modern history.
