Carlisle manager Neil McDonald insists that it's not win or bust for his side on Saturday and has urged caution as they prepare to enter what could be last chance saloon for his side.

Despite being behind both Oldham and Swansea in the race for the play offs, McDonald insists that a point could be enough although it will prove not to be if Oldham are victorious at Brighton.

Speaking to the Western Mail, McDonald said "The season's flown by, but it's certainly finishing off with huge excitement for everybody," said McDonald, who took over from Paul Simpson at United last summer.

"We'll be going into the game with Swansea now trying to win, but being cautious knowing that we have to try to get something out of the game.

"We could take a point to be fair and we've got to hope that Oldham are beaten at Brighton. That then goes into the last game and then who knows what might happen?

"We'll be going into the game trying to win, but being cautious knowing that we have to try to get something out of the game, whereas last Saturday we didn't."

"Oldham do seem to be the ones that are slipping up at the moment," added McDonald. "When you see snippets in the paper of even their manager having a go at them then that gives you a little bit of hope as well that they are on a downward slope.

"Hopefully we haven't left it too late. Swansea are in exactly the same position, they have to win to be fair to make sure as well. I'm sure it will be an attacking game from both sides.

"We talk about the business end of the season and this is definitely the business game. If we lose we're out of it, if we draw then hopefully we're still in it, but if we win then we're right in it.

"A victory on Saturday might just push us into the play-off positions ourselves with one game to go."
