Kurt Robinson: I'm looking forward to it

Posted on: Fri 07 May 2010

We spoke to Kurt Robinson ahead of Thursday night's play-off game against Oxford United.

How are things following your recent illness ?

I'm fine - we are all relaxed in the camp at the moment - things are going well.

You've had a couple of opportunities to look at Oxford - what do you make of them as a side ?

They try to play a bit of football, with Constable and Midson up front.

What has the manager said to you about your role ?

He wants me to get as involved as I can, pushing forwards and being confident, but my main job is to defend, first and foremost to look after the back four.

Looking at recent Oxford games, in the past few seasons there have been some controversial penalty decisions - how important is discipline going to be ?

Yes, especially the last game at their place - the referee made a wrong decision in my eyes, against Jamie Stuart, and I think we had the upper hand in both games. Hopefully we'll get a good ref - fingers crossed.

Your whole season really comes down to the playoffs - how do you find that ?

The playoffs are what everybody dreams of if you can't win automatic promotion, and we are delighted as a team to be here, and think we can go all of the way - we are really confident.

What's it going to be like in front of a packed Nene Park, with fans from both sides ?

I think it will be brilliant having Nene Park full. It's my first play-off game, so I don't really know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to it.

Finally, have you been saving your goal for the season for the playoffs ?

It's been coming - and if not tomorrow then on Monday - or if not I'll have to save it for Wembley - I'm undecided at the moment (laughs)

Thank You
