Carlisle may on the way to the LDV Trophy Final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but boss Roddy Collins admits that every game is now a Cup Final as the Cumbrians fight to maintain their League status.
Carlisle's tenth home League defeat of the season saw Collins' side drop into a relegation slot at the bottom of Nationwide Division Three as Scunthorpe came from behind to win 2-1.
But Collins refused to press the panic alarm saying: "I thought on the overall display we were the better side but it's disappointing to give away goals from free kicks.
"No-one could have done anything about the first goal but the second one caught us napping.
"I felt we approached the game in the right way tactically but there was a time we needed to score and we didn't. But we're not a bad side. I think we'll be okay come the end of the season."
