Abbott looking over his shoulder

An Owain Tudur free-kick in the third minute of stoppage-time handed Swindon the equaliser their dominant second-half display merited after Carlisle had earlier taken the lead through Michael Bridges. The point leaves Carlisle just one point above the drop zone and in severe relegation trouble, with all but one of the sides below them having played less games. "It's a cruel game and I am hurting," admitted Abbott. "We didn't think it was a free-kick and the shot was deflected. But it doesn't do any good criticising the referee or making excuses. "We got an early goal which gave us something to hang on to. But they forced us back in the second half and we needed that second goal. "We are masters of the 1-1 draw. When it's 1-0 you are always susceptible."
