Cherries: Robinson wants to get one over the Guv'nor
Cherries midfielder Anton Robinson wants to end more than five years of FA Cup hurt by putting one over Paul Ince, his boyhood hero.[LNB] The Guv'nor ensured Robinson would have a debut to forget when the pair locked horns during a fifth round tie between Wolves and Millwall in January 2005.[LNB] A fresh-faced teenager when he lined up for the Lions, Robinson had the unenviable task of trying to mark the veteran hardman, who was approaching the end of his illustrious career.[LNB] And it turned out a baptism of fire that lasted just 52 minutes with Robinson substituted after half-time during a 2-0 defeat at Molineux.[LNB] I'll never forget it! said Robinson, who will be hoping to keep his place when Cherries meet Ince's Notts County in the second round tomorrow. He left me shell-shocked.[LNB] I was given the job of trying to mark him at set-pieces and it was tough. But I learned a hard lesson that day and, hopefully, it has stood me in good stead for my career.[LNB] Robinson, who made only two appearances for Millwall, added: I have always tried to model my game on Paul Ince because he was the complete midfielder.[LNB] I watched him when he was at Manchester United and Liverpool and always liked the way he bossed the midfield. He would win his tackles and dictate the game.[LNB] I used to look up to him when I was growing up. They called him the Guv'nor because he would run the midfield. He was strong in the tackle and would always pop up with vital goals. He was there at the start of the generation of box-to-box midfielders, especially in the English game anyway.[LNB] Robinson has been a model of consistency for Cherries since being plucked from the non-league ranks at Weymouth by boss Eddie Howe in January 2009.[LNB] An ever-present in the league this season, he netted the second of his three goals during Cherries' 3-3 draw against Notts County at Dean Court in August.[LNB] We've had good rivalry with them since I've been here and it promises to be another tough game, said the 24-year-old.[LNB] They knocked us out of the FA Cup last season and we claimed a dramatic draw at Meadow Lane with a late equaliser.[LNB] We went 3-0 up against them earlier this season and should have seen out the game. We were disappointed to draw and it was one of the hardest things I have had to take.[LNB] They are a tough team and it is going to be another tough game. But the reward at the end of it could be a decent draw in the third round so we've got to make sure we are in the hat.[LNB] Loan signing Nicholas Bignall will be unavailable for Cherries as parent club Reading do not want him to become cup tied.[LNB] The winners of tomorrow's tie will bank £27,000 in prize money with the third round draw due to take place on Sunday, around 6pm.[LNB] Cherries: (from) Stewart, Smith, Bartley, J Pearce, Wiggins, Arter, Robinson, Hollands, Feeney, Fletcher, Purches, Bradbury, Cummings, Taylor, Ings, Symes, Stockley.[LNB] Magpies: (from) Burch, Darby, Edwards, Chilvers, Harley, Ravenhill, Bishop, Davies, Judge, Westcarr, Miller, Hughes, Spicer, K Pearce, Hunt, Hawley, Ince, Nelson.[LNB]
