Abbott targets positive response

Scott Dobie scored the only goal for the Cumbrians, who have won just once in their last eight matches, but Abbott is backing his players to find their form.He said: "We have been in this position before, with people doubting us, and we will react in a positive manner."I have asked the players to take some responsibility, we have to share it and take it together. I am in charge of it all, but they are honest and did their share of talking."The players care and I know there is a united group in there, the dressing room is hurting and the players will get support from me and we will stick together."He added: "We weren't very good, we were well beaten. We gave away two goals, but I won't take credit away from Hartlepool who were the better side."
