"It's pressure but I do enjoy it; it would be pretty boring if we didn't have anything going on. Over the last few years we always seem to have something on the last game. But I wouldn't like it if we came to this stage of the season with nothing to play for.
"The fans might need a couple of days off work to get up there. All the years I've been up there it's never been an easy place to go and play football. But we'll go there with a positive attitude. There's no point hoping things just happen, we'll be going all out for the result.
"Of course, there is pressure on it but the boys are now thinking that we can do this. We've got more belief in our play and the way we go about the games. We'll definitely be confident going up to Carlisle. You've got to remember there's going to be pressure on them as well and I'm sure they'll have memories of the (Football League Trophy) cup final last year.
"It would be nice to go up there and guarantee that we beat them 4-0. But that's not going to happen. These games are tough and a few of the boys were saying after Brighton on Saturday that it's one of the hardest games we've had. You just want to get the job done and not concede anything in the last few minutes. We knew a goal would cost us dearly.
"As the manager (Roberto Martinez) says, 90 minutes could improve everyone's life at the club and in the city. You could feel the relief when the final whistle went against Brighton - and I'd rather be on the pitch than in the stand at Carlisle!"
Meanwhile Martinez commented on the disappointing below average crowd for the Brighton game at the Liberty Stadium last weekend, Martinez saying :
"It's disappointing when you look at the numbers because we have got a bigger fan base. But what is important is the attitude of the ones who were here rather than the ones who weren't.
"They were fantastic from the first minute, encouraging the team and giving them that extra lift we needed. It really made a difference. They were fantastic and really influenced the scoreline at the end. I'm sure our other fans were following us from a distance and looking forward to joining us in our last home game of the season.
"It is vital in the last few games that we get the supporters right behind us. People are starting to see us as a dangerous side because we are not just winning games but dominating sides. That is the image we want. I know that if we get the tally of points I have been asking for we will be fine and reach the play-offs. But we need the fans to help us achieve that."
Swans are expecting a big following at Brunton Park on Saturday. See more about the game in Footymad's Carlisle Utd preview tomorrow.
