Yates wants focus in Cup

04 November 2010 13:30
Mark Yates insists his Cheltenham side will treat Saturday`s FA Cup tie against Morecambe with the same determination they approach their league campaign. The Robins boss wants to build on the club`s League Two success so far this term and book their place in the draw for the second round of the cup competition. "First and foremost, the players will know what they have got to do on Saturday and I will not put any more pressure on them just because it is the FA Cup," he told the club's official website. "Our mentality will not change just because this is the FA Cup. We all want to do well because we want to play the best but you can only do that by beating what is in front of you and that is Morecambe on Saturday. "There is obviously a financial reward if you win the round and that is important to this football club but that isn`t something that concerns me, because my priority is to help my players reach the level they have been doing and progress through into the second round."
