" The top sides in the division seem to be winning every week, and while it's nice and encouraging - especially for the fans - to be in a good position I tend to look at points totals. Before tonight's game there was about nine points separating the top 10 teams so it's very tight. You need to get about 75 points to get in the Play-Offs but it could be more this season. Top two is usually about 80/90 points - every year it's about that to get in the promotion positions.
" When I went up with Swansea we lost to Scunthorpe to fall 10 points behind them. Their manager said we were finished but by the end of the season we were level on points with them. Points total is the key. You can see the difference between when we played Carlisle here last season and tonight. Last time we were around the relegation places and they were up near the top.
" The crowd - who have been brilliant this season - were cheering every throw in because of the position of the two clubs, but this time we're up there. The players' performances and hard work has changed things around. "
