Two Big Games For Us - Abbott

Last updated : 21 September 2012 By Covsupport News Service

Carlisle United boss Greg Abbott has said that his side have two big games this week.

The Cumbrians managed by the Cov Kid travel to the Ricoh Arena tomorrow and play Tottenham in the Capital One Cup in the week. 

Speaking to Carlisle Player's Andy Hall, the Carlisle boss said: “The week ahead is big on terms of the stature of the clubs we are coming up against. Going to venues like the Ricoh and drawing teams like Spurs in the cup is what the game is all about.  

“The Coventry game has been made even more interesting because they have a new manager in and every player will want to impress him. He will be assessing them in everything they do and the game against us is their first opportunity to show him what they can do in a competitive environment.
 
“This is a good one for the fans because it will be a new one for most of them. It’s a nice stadium and it’ll be an experience they enjoy. Obviously it’s my home-town club and I’m looking forward to going there, but for 90 minutes there will be no sentiment at all. 
 
“We want to make sure we turn a good start to the season into a very good one and the only way to do that is by producing the performances which will take us up in the table to where we all want to be.”
