United striker Danny Graham spoke to BBC Radio Cumbria's Derek Lacey after the 3-1 home win over Leeds that takes the Blues back to the top of the League One table, Graham talking about the togetherness in the Carlisle camp :


" I think that everyone of the lads worked really hard and we fully deserved the victory in the end, I'll be going home and putting my feet up ready for Luton on Tuesday now. The result today will give us massive confidence going into Luton, we are top of the league, we've beaten Leeds United who haven't been beaten all season. All the lads are on a massive high down there, we'll go home and recover correctly and look forward to Tuesday.

" Simon (Hackney's) goal you can see was a world class volley, we scored early in the second-half which has lifted everyone. We've gone on from there and dominated the second-half, Joe (Garner) has got the goal at the right time to put us 2-1 up. There has been a debate between Marc Bridge-Wilkinson and Danny Carlton about the third but whoever scores it it doesn't matter. It's a massive victory for us and hopefully we can push on and get another three points on Tuesday.

" Marc did brilliantly in the corner, he got rid of two of them and then he's run across, from my angle, no disrespect to Marc, but I think that Danny did get a touch and put the final thing into the net. Like I say though, it doesn't matter who has scored, we've won 3-1 and it's a team game. Hopefully we can push on and go as far as we can now.

" I think everyone can see that all the lads are really close, we bond really well and we train really well. We have a laugh when we can have a laugh and I think it showed that we are really together, I think that pulled us through today and got us the vital three points against Leeds.

" He (John Ward) gave us a bit of a rollocking at half-time to be honest. He said that Leeds were the better team, we've taken it on board, I didn't think that were overly impressive compared to us in the first-half but he has given us a bit of a grilling. We've gone out in the second-half and Simon has hit that wonder strike and it's just turned the game on it's head. Thankfully we've gone on and got the three points. "
