The 2021-22 campaign was a season of desperate, high-stakes survival for Carlisle United as The Cumbrians finished a precarious 20th in League Two. The year was defined by early turmoil that saw the club employ three different managers, culminating in the triumphant February return of club hero Paul Simpson. Simpson's re-appointment ignited the passionate Brunton Park faithful and proved pivotal in steering the club clear of relegation danger. Leading the charge for goals in this tense, late-season fight for survival was forward Omari Patrick, whose 9 crucial goals were decisive in securing the club's fourth-tier status and remains a defining chapter in their hard-fought modern history
