Huddersfield Town's Gary Roberts ready for ‘cup-final football’

Gary Roberts

“It’s down to all of us to tighten up and do the nitty-gritty things better, and we’ve been working hard on that side of things in training.”

Roberts was one of the quartet of players on target when Town beat Orient 4-0 at the Galpharm back in October.

His first-half stoppage-time strike from Michael Collins’ pass proved the catalyst to a convincing win.

Nathan Clarke (58th minute), Collins (74th) and Jordan Rhodes (90th) got the other goals.

Former Premier League referee Steve Tanner completes a busy week when he takes charge of tomorrow’s clash.

He was in the middle for Tuesday’s Crystal Palace-Leicester clash in the Championship, his 25th match of the season.

The Somerset referee last took charge of Town when they beat Birmingham 2-1 at the Galpharm in the third round of the FA Cup back in January 2008.

His assistants will be Mike Blackledge (Cambridgeshire) and Gary Young (Bedfordshire), with Essex’s David Margetts the fourth official.
