Boss wary of Leeds threat

04 February 2010 13:48
Greg Abbott has warned Carlisle`s players and fans against complacency in the second leg of next week's Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Leeds. The Cumbrians will defend a one-goal lead in their Northern Area final after clinching a 2-1 win in the first leg at Elland Road last month, but Carlisle conceded an identical advantage against Leeds in the League One play-off semi-finals in 2008 and went on to lose 3-2 on aggregate. Abbott said: "We have been in this position before with this team and they are not in the top two by accident. "They will be here to turn the tie around and it would be great if we had plenty of noise from the fans, as we have seen how much of a lift that gives our lads. "It's a game for us all to look forward to and I hope it's one that has a positive outcome. If the fans get behind us then it can only help us towards achieving that."
