Cup draw no distraction - Robins

28 September 2009 12:19
Barnsley manager Mark Robins denied the announcement of his side's Carling Cup draw against Manchester United ahead of the defeat at QPR had distracted his players. The Tykes were rewarded for last week's win over Burnley with a fourth-round home tie against Robins' former club, but he refused to accept the significance of the draw had affected him and his players. Robins said: "Not at all no. It's a great draw and we've spoken about that. There should be a full house and a good game for us in the next round of the Carling Cup. "But I would certainly swap that for some points on the board at this moment in time. "It's always a good game when you play against Manchester United. When they come to town it creates a lot of interest. "Hopefully it will bring us a bit of extra revenue and create a buzz around town. That's what we need at this moment in time."
