Carlisle manager John Ward insists his side fear no-one in the play-offs despite dropping from second to fourth with a 3-0 defeat at Millwall.The Cumbrians' third straight defeat leaves them behind Doncaster and Nottingham Forest in the race for the second automatic promotion spot.

Ward said: "I don't fear any of the form teams but I would expect they would want to play us after this.

"There is not a lot I can say other than the best team won. Millwall played extremely well and we couldn't compete with their ability and determination.

"Strange things could happen yet and it's getting harder for us all the time. But I think all it is going to take is a goal or something to give us a lift and raise the energy we have been lacking.

"We just haven't been as sharp and as bright as we have been in the past three months and that needs to change."
