Abbott's side conceded a last minute goal in the Carling Cup on Wednesday

Carlisle United boss Greg Abbott has admitted he was devastated with Plymouth Argyle's late equaliser in their 1-1 draw in League Two.

Ian Harte put Carlisle ahead but Rory Patterson pulled it back on 94 minutes.

Abbott told BBC Cumbria: "If you'd said at the start we'd take four points from the first two games then we'd have taken it.

"But we're absolutely devastated not to have taken six out of six - we're looking forward now to MK Dons."

Abbott continued: "It was a killer but the bigger picture is that we're happy and we've got a standing ovation again, so it's great we haven't disappointed the supporters.

"Did they deserve that last gasp goal? Probably not.

"But the players deserve a lot of plaudits, we're just hoping we can maintain the form and determination to kick on from here."
