" It's going to be a bit tasty, the chairman (Ken Bates) stoked a few fires up when he complained about the situation after the JPT game. But it is a great game to be involved in. It can't come quickly enough. We have two wins on the bounce behind us now and we don't want to lose any momentum.
" The JPT game won't have any bearing on tonight's game. We are a different team, they are a different team and it's a different stage of the season. It's always difficult up at Carlisle but we go there in good spirits.
" It was pretty gung-ho stuff in the JPT game. We had to win the game and we did. Tonight we will try to be solid and make sure we don't give too much away because we have got players within the team who can score the goals and create chances.
" Football has a strange way of turning things around, there was a lot of gloom and doom around our club after we lost at home to Swindon but after winning our last two games hopefully there is now a lot of belief that we can go and get promotion.
" If we get good results against Carlisle and then at Gillingham, when we come back to Elland Road for the game against MK Dons the place will be rocking. The club deserves promotion, the fans deserve it and it's down to the players and myself to try to achieve it,
" Winning back-to-back games has given us a great appetite and a great desire to try to finish the job off. I've been excited from game one, that's why I'm the manager trying to get the football club back into the next division.
" It's been a hard couple of weeks at times not getting the results that we've deserved or not deserved, but obviously now we're coming into the business end of the season when it really matters. Hopefully we'll be able manage the job and see it through. "
