Play-Off Misery For McAllister & Staunton

Last updated : 12 May 2008 By Covsupport News Service
Former Coventry City player and manager Gary McAllister and former defender Steve Staunton saw their Leeds United team beaten in a League One Play-Off semi-final First Leg tonight.

Leeds went down to a 2-1 defeat at home to Carlisle United. The Cumbrians, who were knocked out of the League Cup by the Sky Blues, led through goals from Graham and Bridge-Wilkinson before Dougie Freedman pulled one back second half stoppage time.

The eventual winner of this two legged affair will meet either Southend or Doncaster in the final.

Meanwhile, former City midfielder Lee Carsley is to discuss his future at Everton. The Irishman joined Everton from City in 2001.
