Latics TV | Antonee Robinson post-Millwall.
USA international full back scored Latics' second in a 2-2 draw at the Den.
"It gives us confidence to pick up more points on the road." - Robinson.

Speaking to Latics TV after his goal helped Latics to a 2-2 draw against Millwall at the Den, full back Antonee Robinson described the moment his first professional goal and first in Latics colours hit the back of the net.

"I got a little bit of luck with it, but I saw a couple of defenders getting across to my side of the goal, so I tried to fire it in low and hard into a good area. It's gone in under the keeper, so I'm delighted to finally get a goal.

"Garns created the space for me and it's something we work on, the forward sucking the defenders further in field allows us as wing backs to get into wide spaces. It's a testament to how we can link up in those positions."

On the trip to the capital and the point gained, Robinson added:

"It's a tough place to come and it can be more of a battle than a football match at times, especially towards the end. Matt Smith came on and caused us problems, so we had to adapt and keep what we've got because we've been struggling away from home. Any points are gold at this stage, so all-in-all everyone is pleased with the result. It gives us confidence to go again and pick up more points on the road.

"We're all looking ahead to Saturday now. We're back at home and it gives us a chance to pick up more points and keep some momentum going to push up the league.

"We really appreciate the effort the fans put in to come down and support us. It's a long way to come for a midweek game. They made a good atmosphere for us. We're all trying to dig in and work hard for the supporters so that we can give them what they deserve to see."
