Blues striker Danny Graham
United's leading goalscorer Danny Graham spoke to BBC Radio Cumbria's Derek Lacey on Saturday evening as he talked about the 1-1 draw against Bristol Rovers at Brunton Park :


" Overall it is probably one of our better performances this year. We've got done on the counter again, it's been one of those seasons so far. It's the final third I think, we're lacking that quality which is me, Joe (Garner), whoever is playing wide, Kevin (Gall), Jeff (Smith), I think we have just been lacking that bit of creativity up the final third. At the end of the day we have had two defeats and the main thing today was not to lose.

" If the quality is there then I think me and Joe are liable to score. Sometimes the crosses aren't there and the service isn't there for us, at the end of the day Si (Simon Hackney) has put a brilliant ball in, it's bounced to me and I've reacted quickly and thankfully put it in the top corner. At the end of the day I think that we've done enough in the game to merit the three points.

" The managers job is not for us to worry about. We're a strong group of lads and whether Greg (Abbott) gets the job or Greg doesn't then it will still be the same team who is going out on the pitch to get those results for Greg. Or if not for a new manager who comes in, we've got to be professional for ourselves and as long as it goes on we've just got to go out on the pitch and try to perform to the best of our ability.

" At home I think that we put a lot of pressure on Bristol Rovers and I'm sure that we can go to Bournemouth, and if we put the same amount of pressure on them then I am sure we will get the three points and have a good trip home. Leading goalscorer at the minute but I think that the most important thing is to get back into winning ways no matter who scores. It's a team game, we're a strong group of lads and we bond well together. It's nice to be top goalscorer as a striker but we just want those three points at the minute. "
