VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Carlisle United boss Greg Abbott told BBC Radio Cumbria:
"It's a wonderful feeling. Football's about enjoying yourself and living the dream.
"It's nights like this that are special, under the lights. I think we had one against Wednesday in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, but our quality of football tonight was even better and the edge with it being a league game was higher.
"It's hard to compete with teams like Sheffield Wednesday with their team, their money and resources, and we competed. We're pushing ourselves against people with miles bigger resources and done ourselves a tremendous credit."
