Carlisle United assistant manager Gav Skelton believes that it is going to be a good game for his side against Derby County, where the players will have the incentive to stop a team from achieving something in front of 32,000 fans.
League One’s rock-bottom side will go to Pride Park with the job of stopping the hosts from going up to the Championship.
Only one point will seal the deal for the hosts, but Carlisle assistant manager Skelton believes that as professional footballers his players will have the lure of spoiling the party of 32,000 home fans
“Isn’t derby a great game to play in?”Skelton said to the official website of his club.
“It’s on TV and there will be 32,000 people there if you’re a professional football player and have something at stake, to stop someone achieving something.”
Skelton thinks that Pride Park will be a special place to visit because the Carlisle players may not get many chances to play in front of such a large crowd.
The 42-year-old insists that the guests will likewise pledge to give it their all on stage.
“You never know when you’ll get the chance to play in front of 32,000 spectators as a professional football player.
“We have to be excited about it, seize the opportunity, and give it our all.”
Derby will advance as the second team after Portsmouth if they can hold on for the entire ninety minutes.
Bolton would advance to the playoffs as well.
