Carlisle boss Gregg Abbott has conceded he might be forced into the emergency loan market unless his strikers start finding the net.

The Cumbrians slipped to a 2-0 defeat at Oldham on Saturday and have now gone two games without scoring.

Abbott says he will not be panicked into the transfer market but admits he needs to find a solution to the club's goal-scoring problems.

He told the Carlisle News and Star: "There is a problem with scoring goals again and if it goes on much longer we will have to look at how we rectify it, and there are a number of ways of doing that.

"You've got to look at some way of scoring goals and winning games.

"If we can juggle things and if I think it's necessary then I'll have to do that."
