Cherries' Robinson insists: We'll try to take the game to them
MIDFIELD maestro Anton Robinson believes Cherries must be brave and rely on their passing principles as the race for the Championship gathers pace.[LNB] The 25-year-old insists his team will look to take the game to Huddersfield Town in tonight's semi-final, second leg clash at the Galpharm Stadium.[LNB] Donal McDermott cancelled out Kevin Kilbane's opener to ensure there was nothing between the teams following Saturday's entertaining 1-1 draw at Dean Court.[LNB] Robinson expects Lee Clark's side to be more attacking in the return fixture as both teams bid to earn a place in the final against either Peterborough United or MK Dons at Old Trafford.[LNB] But the former Weymouth star, man of the match in the first meeting, says Cherries will play their natural game.[LNB] Robinson told the Echo: We have got to keep doing the right things, keep trying to get the ball down and play, and stick to what has been getting us positive results.[LNB] The passing game is what got us back into the tie. They dropped off us, left one striker up and tried to pack the midfield.[LNB] But we showed bravery to get on the ball in tight situations and tried to create things. That is where the goal came from and where we dominated the game.[LNB] This is a game made for players that want to show they are brave to get on the ball and make things happen. We have got a team full of winners and everyone showed that on Saturday.[LNB] Huddersfield are at home and have got to be on the front foot.[LNB] But we are comfortable playing on the front foot that is our game and that is what we will do tonight.[LNB] Huddersfield's average home attendance this season is approaching 14,000 but tonight's game is expected to attract more than 16,000 spectators inside the 24,500 all-seater arena.[LNB] Cherries skipper Jason Pearce is hoping his men can start well and silence the home crowd.[LNB] The influential defender, who has played every minute of every game this season, said: If we can keep them quiet for the first 20 to 25 minutes, the crowd might turn.[LNB] Hopefully, we can get the ball down and play, like we did on Saturday, and take the game to them.[LNB] We play our best when we get the ball down and pass it, and that showed in the first leg.[LNB]
