Abbott hoping to keep Pericard

After scoring a spectacular early goal with an unorthodox volley, Pericard led the line superbly and created a second vital goal straight after half-time which set the Cumbrians on their way into the third round for the first time in eight years.But theformer Portsmouth and Stoke forward has only signed for Carlisle until January 12 and on this showing higher league clubs are sure to start taking notice.Abbott said: "He was the man of the match. We would love to keep Vincent a bit longer. He's a really good guy and he's been a great help to us."But the better he plays it's always the case there's less chance of keeping him."
