County manager Jim Gannon spoke to the Manchester Evening News after his side's 2-1 win against Carlisle at Brunton Park yesterday, Gannon happy with the hard work put in by Hatters midfielder Gary Dicker :


"It was a fantastic game. There were difficult conditions with the wind, but both teams played some good stuff. The lads kept their shape very well, worked very hard and took their chances.

"Tommy Rowe, in the last ten minutes, looked like it was the first ten minutes. I've said it before about his fitness. He's a fantastic counter-attacking player. But the workrate throughout the game of all the players was tremendous.

"Chris O'Grady was very strong as a point attacker and the three behind him were very good and looked like they were going to score goals. Sometimes Chris doesn't get himself in great goal-scoring positions, but today he did.

"He has an immense presence, a great work ethic and I'm delighted to have him. You want players who work very hard and unselfishly within the shape and that was typified by Gary Dicker."
