Robins in a flutter for Spurs

Image: Spencer: One eye on the cup

Cheltenham's James Spencer says his team-mates are excited about their plum FA Cup third-round tie at Tottenham on January 7.

The Robins still have four League Two matches to come before the big day out at White Hart Lane as they look to cement their spot in the automatic promotion places, and the 20-year-old said Cheltenham would be fully focused for their next league clash - against Barnet on Friday. But Spencer, on loan from Huddersfield, admitted the prospect of such a massive cup showpiece is hard to banish to the back of his mind. "All the lads are looking forward to that game but we've got a few big league games to come before that," he said. "You've always got one eye on the cup and you're always thinking about it a little bit, but we need to focus on the games before that. "It's a great draw for us and we'll go there and give everything. We'll be the big underdogs and we've got nothing to lose."
