"They flew up, they have got assistant physios, assistant kitmen, assistant everything, and we have got just an honest group of players and resources win the day," Abbott added.

"Fair play to Charlton, it is a very, very good side and that is what you get when you pay a lot of money."

Hmm, what do you think about these comments? A bit unfair to say the least...

    Not really. Compared to Carlisle, we have spent a lot of money if you assume we pumped the funds from the Jenkinson sale straight back into the recruitment of new players.

    been done already. You really need to hear the interview in it's enterity as he was very complimentary to us and it was a good interview and not bourne out of jealousy.

    I've been very impressed with Greg Abbot this season. He talks a lot of sense an his team plays the right way.

    What he said is very complimentary and not unfair at all.

    yep and you get the impression he'd be very sensible with his signings if given the backing.

    We are a big fish in a small pond. Compared to Carlisle we do have lots of resources and that is one, but not the only, reason we went up.

    Agree with Henry, we should expect this type of response. It's just a shame that those resources didn't help for the previous seasons!

    And the fact that over 3 games We scored 7 and them 0.

    He's done a good job there, he's had no money to spend on players and it can't be easy persuading professionals who potentially have other options to re-locate to Cumbria, yet Carlisle have a decent chance of making the play-offs.
