All to play for, insist Leeds

Dougie Freedman netted deep into stoppage time of the first leg at Elland Road to give the Whites hope for the Burnton Park return, although they still trail 2-1 after a below-par display.

"We would have been disappointed with 2-0, but it wouldn't have been a case of surrendering," said McAllister.

"At 2-0 down I felt we were still in the tie, but just getting that goal makes it slightly different.

"It was a real open game. It was box-to-box and there will be some tired legs come the last 10-15 minutes at Carlisle.

"It's game on and I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be exciting up there. It just puts a different perspective on it now, scoring so late on."
