United striker Danny Carlton spoke to the Visitor this week about his one-month loan move to Morecambe, Carlton talking very much looking forward to getting some games in with his old club :


" It feels very good to be back, obviously the weather has not changed so much, November is November, but I am looking forward to it. I speak to a lot of people from around the Morecambe area, my girlfriend is from here, I have been down to watch a few games and the lads have done well. I am looking forward to being part of that.

" I'm looking forward to Chester on Saturday, it will be a tough game, it will be a nice game to get into. Obviously their manager has been sacked so that is going to give the players a lift, so it will be a tough game. I think that I am fit, obviously I will get a few games and I will get fitter and fitter, but I have played a lot of games for Carlisle this year and I played a reserve game on Monday so the fitness should be there.

" Hopefully I won't get a knock and then have to go back, hopefully I will see the month out. The injuries are a bad thing for the gaffer (Sammy McIlroy) but that is hopefully why he has brought me in to start playing and hopefully get a few players back.

" Obviously I scored that goal at Wembley and no doubt everyone will think that I can do it every time that I get the ball. It won't be the case though, you are still playing football, it is a team game, but obviously if I score three or four goals when I am here then that will help me out a lot.

" I am sure that the fans will get behind me and the team, it is more of a team effort than just me. I have come here to be in a team, not just to get my fitness back. I have come here to score goals with my team and get that team progressing up that league. "



" I have come here for a month, if I come here and score goals then I go back and start knocking on his (Greg Abbott's) door. While I am here though I will give everything to Morecambe and I will give 100% to everything that I do. I don't think that it is uncertain at Carlisle at the moment, I think that Greg Abbott was honest enough to say to me that he doesn't see me playing the next two or three league games for Carlisle.

" So I sat down and talked to him and we both had a decision, we thought that it would be the best that I went out on loan for a month. Get the games under the belt and then score the goals hopefully that I can go back there a confident player and start scoring for Carlisle.

" I will be a lot more mature this time at Morecambe I would have thought from playing in League One. You will still get the 100% out of me, I will be running around making the tackles and hopefully scoring the goals. So apart from the maturity thing it will be the same old Danny to be honest.

" I couldn't ask for a better home game than Exeter could I really. It will be a good game, hopefully it will put a few more on the gate, the Wembley game once again. You look to Chester first more than anything though, take one game as it comes, if we get three points at Chester then we go into Exeter a more confident team. If we start passing the ball around like we know that we can do then teams won't live with us, so hopefully we can get to that.

" It has been nice catching up with the lads, obviously (Stewart) Drummond before he left and went to Shrewsbury. So it is nice to see Stewart and Jimbo (Jim Bentley) and Michael Howard and all the young lads. So it is good, it is good to be back and I am looking forward to it. "
