'The FA Cup was never going to be a priority this season'

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson says Luton Town "can't let the manner of the [FA Cup] defeat [by Manchester City] affect them," as Rob Edwards' side continue to battle for Premier League survival.
"This was never going to be a season-defining game for them," said Robinson on BBC Radio 5 Live. "I don't like the phrase 'free hit' but this was one of those.
"Nobody expected anything from them, Manchester City came here as Treble winners and the expectation was on them.
"They can't let the goals and the manner of the defeat affect them for the rest of the season, and that's what the manager will be saying to them. It's done and finished, you put it behind you and the FA Cup was never going to be a priority this season.
"They now have to concentrate on staying in the Premier League, which is a difficult task, and it's hard not knowing where they stand because of the points deductions looming over the teams around them."
