Roberts set to join the elite?

Last updated : 30 January 2004 By Paul Farrington
If Latics' record signing finds the net on Saturday against the Dingles then he will have scored on both his home and away debuts for the Latics.

Roberts scored after just 35 seconds on his debut against Preston at Deepdale two weeks ago.

Only Greame Jones, Geoff Horsfield and Nathan Ellington have managed the task in the past and Roberts will be hungry to add his name to the list.

Boss, Paul Jewell said: "Saturday's game is a big one, there should be a decent atmosphere, and it's one we're looking forward to. It's Jason Roberts' home debut as well so that will add even more excitement to the occasion."
