00:00He's trained today so he'll be fine to be in the squad this weekend. Baba trained today

00:07but it is a little bit touch and go just because I want to see him again training tomorrow

00:11so I'm not sure. This isn't a game to make loads of changes. If there's anything tactical

00:22or something specific from Blackpool that I want to change I will but we'll be putting

00:26out the strongest team possible that I think will win the game or give us the best chance

00:30to win the game. It's a competition we've got history in. What I do know is it will

00:36be nothing like the game in the Bristol Street Motors, absolutely nothing. I actually really

00:40like Carlisle's atmosphere at the stadium. It's like a really old school stadium. I know

00:44they're doing a lot of work internally but when they get the momentum, I really like

00:51the atmosphere. So it's going to be a proper cup tie. One thing I liked about Blackpool

00:57was at the very beginning we had to match a fight and the Blackpool are very dangerous

01:01to get the ball forward really quickly. We matched that to start with. We're going to

01:04have to do the same with Carlisle, maybe in a different way because they look to really

01:08try and play. The big onus on our team, and I know we have some younger ones, but we have

01:14to win the fight and then the sort of talent or the tactical work will come through but

01:19without the fight, the rest doesn't matter.
