Carlisle's new manager Keith Curle will give players a chance to prove themselves before wielding the axe if they are not good enough.

Former Notts County boss Curle, 50, replaced Graham Kavanagh on Friday and took charge of Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Mansfield. The Cumbrians have yet to win a league game this season and lie bottom of League Two, but Curle said every player will start with a clean slate. "I said when I came in that I wanted to take a look at everybody before I started to make decisions," Curle said after his first game as boss. "There is room for manoeuvre but nobody will leave this football club until I've seen what they've got. "If I then feel I need to bring better players in, and that will be in my opinion, then I will do so. "I need the players to buy into me and these lads know the first half wasn't acceptable. "On another day we might have nicked a draw with the way we responded, but the reason we didn't get anything is that we gave them a three goal start. "We don't need to be doing that in future. That stops."
