We're not there yet - Abbott

Carlisle manager Greg Abbott was taking nothing for granted despite his side giving themselves a great chance of a return visit to Wembley with a 4-0 win over Huddersfield in the first leg of their Johnstone's Paint Trophy northern area final. First-half goals from Ben Marshall and Tom Taiwo were added to by headers from defenders Peter Murphy and Lubo Michalik midway through the second period to put the Cumbrians firmly in control. But Abbott said: "It's given us a great chance. "It was a terrific performance and it's a big prize for clubs at our level. We have a wonderful chance of completing the job if we can play anywhere like we did in this game in the second leg. "But I expect a massive reaction from Huddersfield. They are capable of scoring goals and we've got another big effort to do. We needed a reaction after the FA Cup defeat at Torquay. "This will set us up and we now need to concentrate on getting some points in the league. Our season is alive and kicking again. We want to win as many cup games as we can to get in some money. We need to get the fans back and performances like that won't do us any harm."
