It's the best settled spell I've ever had in my career....

Robbie Williams is trying to chalk up a unique double this weekend. The young defender was part of Barnsley's side that reached the Championship via the play-offs exactly one year ago. Although temporarily moved out of Oakwell, the left back is hoping to repeat the feat with Blackpool at Yeovil Town's expense this Sunday. Givemefotball's Ian Clarkson asked the questions

Q:HOW HAVE YOU LOOKED UPON YOUR LOAN MOVE?

A:It's just good to come here and get playing again, to be honest. It was the same sort of spirit as I experienced last season at Barnsley. I thought I could come here and do a job. The gaffer has got a lot of faith in me and luckily enough we have ended up at Wembley.



Q:HOW MUCH HAVE YOU ENJOYED IT?

A:It's the best settled spell I've ever had in my career. Since I joined I've played 12 games, we have won 11 and I've scored four. And now Wembley. It's been brilliant.

Q:WHAT'S BEEN THE SECRET OF THE CLUB'S STORMING FINISH TO THE SEASON?

A:I think we have a strong back four. I feel confident that between us we can keep a clean sheet in pretty much every game we have played. But while that hasn't always been the case recently, we have developed the ability to score more than we concede which is always a help.

Q:WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT YEOVIL AFTER THEIR STUNNING VICTORY LAST WEEK?

A:I haven't played against them before for Blackpool. I joined just after the league game between the two sides. I watched the second game against Forest. They a strong side and of course, it's going to be a difficult game. But with such a big pitch it's going to be a good game, i hope.

Q:I TAKE IT THAT YOU WILL HAVE A FAIR FEW SUPPORTERS COMING DOWN?

A:My family are coming down. I've got a big bus full of them. It's going to be a good day out for them, hopefully, There are a few of my friends who have been coming over to watch me since I left Barnsley, so they have already seen us a few times.

Q:DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE OVER-AWED BY THE WEMBLEY EXPERIENCE?

A:I would hope not. I'm sure we will be fine at Wembley. The last couple of games we have played in now there has been a big crowd and we have been playing under pressure. Like that one a few weeks ago at Swansea. I think we will be fine. It didn't faze us or anything like that when we were playing before.

Q:WHO DO YOU THINK WILL BE YOUR KEY MEN?

A:We have been scoring a few goals. Everyone is key but if Keegan Parker and Andy Morrell get amongst them, we always fancy our chances of scoring. I think we have a good, well-balanced side. I went through at the same stage with Barnsley last season. I'm not saying that's the key to it or anything like that, but we had a hard-working side that blended nicely and I can see the similarities with this one too.

Q:YOU ARE OUT-OF-CONTRACT, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO YET?

A:I don't know what I'm going to do. It's a question of having to wait and see really. I'm going to push that to the back of my mind and just see what has happened after the final whistle. Barnsley have offered me a two-year deal, but like I say, we will have to wait and see until after the final whistle.
