Carlisle struggled under pressure - Williamson
Carlisle United head coach Mike Williamson admitted that his players buckled under pressure during their home loss to Morecambe.
In a meeting of League Two's bottom two, 10-man Carlisle slipped to defeat to fall to the bottom of the table.
They remain four points adrift of Accrington Stanley in 22nd - and will face them at Brunton Park on Sunday.
"Pressure, that's the top and bottom of it," Williamson told BBC Radio Cumbria.
"Obviously where the club's been in the last year or two, the emotion, the size of the game, the boys feel all the pressure."
Williamson had described the match with Morecambe as 'huge' in the build-up, but Carlisle did not deliver in front of a bumper crowd of 9,225.
Their tally of 15 goals is the joint-lowest in the division, they have the fewest wins (three) and have been goalless in eight of Williamson's 15 league games since he left MK Dons to take over the Cumbrian side.
"We can't criticise the boys about their heart or endeavour," he said. "But we can about how much is correlating to actual execution and detail and focus.
"At the start of the game we were on the front foot, but the chances we missed changed the whole complexion and we ended up coming off second best in a game that should never happen like that."
