Abbott - We need fight and better quality
Whilst the buck "stops with the manager" Greg Abbott is looking for the players to take "responsibility" too following the 3-0 defeat against Tranmere in midweek.
Andy Robinson's goals were good, and he praised them, but Abbott knows blame needs to be shared: 'hats off to the goals, but there is more to it than that. I will take my share of it, but these lads have to take responsibility. We need fight and better quality.
'The goals were fantastic, but we surrendered possession and played at a tempo bordering on testimonial match level.'
From the sounds of it changes will be made at the weekend and if they are the Carlisle boss doesn't feel that anyone can complain: 'Nobody can be too upset if they lose their place on Saturday. I just want some fire in their belly and we will react to that.'
How a side reacts to defeat like this can tell you a lot, so it'll be interesting to see how Carlisle do respond with Abbott looking on expectantly!
