" I don't know what reaction I will get at Millwall because I wasn't there too long. They bought me from West Brom, it was when Dennis Wise was there and Ray Wilkins, I was only there I think for three and a half months. Then Theo Paphitis, the chairman at the time, decided to sell, I think it was about six or seven players, and I was one of them. So I don't know, they might not even remember me, I think I only played a handful of games, so I don't know, we'll have to wait and see.
" It was the first eight minutes in the Southend game really wasn't it, in the first eight minutes we conceded the goal and then just held on for the first-half. We didn't really attack them I thought, including myself, it wasn't one of my better games I've had in a Carlisle shirt. I'll hold my hands up as I always do but hopefully we can put things right this weekend. I thought that the lads did a lot better in the second-half, it was a harsh decision I thought by the referee (Anthony Taylor) to send off Ravo (David Raven), and hopefully we can sort it out on Saturday.
" It's the first time I've played against him (Nicky Bailey) to be honest, and hopefully I won't play against him too often again because he's a bit of a twine isn't he. He went down holding his stomach at one point and I thought that he'd broken a rib or done some damage, but I think it was Murph (Peter Murphy) said something to him and he sprung back up like he was fine again, it was unbelievable.
" He's one of those players that I hope that I don't play against again because, I can't really swear on the radio, but he wound me up quite a bit to be honest. I think that it's the first time that I've come up against him and if I come up against him again then I'll probably be dishing out a few more elbows. Because he is the type of player, he wound me up terribly and I think it was his fault why Ravo got sent off as well.
" Me getting a start is down to the manager (John Ward), that is his decision, whatever he decides. I didn't perform too well playing the wide right-back role, or whatever it was that I was playing, but there were a few others. It wasn't the best performance from the team really, so we'll see what happens. Whatever the manager decides to do I'll stand by and just do my job as best I can when I'm involved.
"Millwall is a massive game, it's a massive game for us with just two left and the gap is down to two points now. I think it is a must win game, we've had our opportunities at Swansea and Leeds and all those sort of teams, to extend our gap there at the top and we haven't done it. So really this is a must win for us. It is normally left until the last day or dying moments of the game and stuff at Carlisle, so it wouldn't be Carlisle tradition to do it early would it, it's too easy doing that. "
