Simek calls for team focus

Carlisle defender Frank Simek has warned his teammates not to allow the cameras at Monday's game to become a distraction.

The match against fellow play-off hopefuls Brentford at Griffin Park is to be televised live on Sky Sports and is a repeat of last April's Johnstone Paint Trophy fixture which the Cumbrians won 1-0. American Simek, 27, told the Carlisle News and Star: "The cameras will add to the occasion because you don't get to play on TV that often - especially with Carlisle, it doesn't seem like [Sky] pick us up too often. "We were well below par against Tranmere. We were probably lucky to get a point. That goes for myself as much as anyone else. "We know we are better than that and we have to take the positive of the point and move onto the big game against Brentford."
