Currently, Salford sits in sixth place in League Two but suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss against Accrington Stanley in their previous match.
Salford’s Journey and Mindset
Despite the tough circumstances, Robinson believes the club has made significant progress over the past year. He emphasized that Salford enjoys more respect within the football community compared to when they last competed against Manchester City. Robinson expressed optimism about their growth and aims for the team to compete fiercely.
Expectations for the Match
- Robinson hopes for a better scoreline than the previous encounter.
- He wants the players to embrace the opportunity and challenge themselves against elite opponents.
- Salford aims to represent their badge with pride and entertain their fans.
Robinson mentioned the pressure of playing against top-tier talent, including a Ballon d’Or winner and several Premier League champions. He acknowledges the difficulty ahead but remains proud of the journey the club has undertaken.
Moving Forward
After the FA Cup match, Salford must quickly shift their focus to an important league game against Newport County. Robinson’s objective is to foster an environment where players can thrive, even under formidable circumstances. He is confident that Salford will become a notable name in football as they continue to evolve.
