Carlisle manager Greg Abbott senses double success

Carlisle 1-0 Notts County

Carlisle 1-0 Notts County

Carlisle United manager Greg Abbott believes his players are capable of achieving both league and cup success this season.

United closed to within five points of a play-off place after the 1-0 win at Notts County, and are 90 minutes from the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final.

"We are starting to keep the season alive and exciting," Abbott told BBC Radio Cumbria.

"The table looks a lot better, and things look a whole lot healthier."

Abbott added: "I'm pleased and proud of all the people working for us and with us to get us to where we are, and to get ourselves on yet another platform to kick on and produce some decent results."

The Cumbrians are without a midweek game ahead of the trip to Oldham Athletic in League One on Saturday, but must wait until Tuesday, 8 February before travelling to Huddersfield Town in the second leg of the JPT Northern Area final. Carlisle won the first leg at Brunton Park 4-0.
