United boss Greg Abbott (GA) spoke to BBC Radio Cumbria's James Phillips (JP) at Monday morning's open press conference for the local media, Abbott first talking about the Johnstone's Paint Trophy northern section round two tie at home to Macclesfield on Tuesday evening :


" It has got a perception to it, we have just got to say that we are taking the game seriously and if we get beat it is not through the want of trying. We will have got beat because Macclesfield will have done exactly the same and they have done better than us on the night. But we are making as few changes as we need to but we have got one eye on the league as well in terms of certain players' individual situations.

" But we really do want to win the game and it gives a couple of the players a chance for first-team selection, there are opportunities as well. So it is win, win, win for the players in terms of how they approach the game. I don't see any mileage in us going out there and putting in a second-rate performance and losing the game, I think everybody gets criticised then. "
