A delighted Eddie Howe was quoted after the 3-1 win as saying: "We are in the hat for the third round draw which is one of the highlights of the FA Cup. The players deserve credit because Carlisle is a really difficult place to play and they responded brilliantly to the challenge.I thought we controlled the game. We were brave, we played from back to front and we wanted the ball. I felt we dictated the game. I can’t remember them having too many chances. Apart from their goal, I thought it was a really good performance. It isn’t easy when you come away from home. Their supporters got behind them and Carlisle are a decent side so we had to get the basics right and we did. The players were brave and composed. We have got some really good footballers in this team and I thought that showed".
