Manager Paolo Di Canio will not allow Swindon to take their foot off the pedal after they beat Crawley to earn a first win.

The improving Robins recorded their third straight league victory and ended Crawley's long unbeaten home record thanks to a first-half goal from Alan Connell and two late strikes from Mehdi Kerrouche. Di Canio stressed that all the focus will immediately move on to Saturday's trip to Burton. He said: "I'm really proud of my players but we must keep our feet on the ground. We're not going to relax a single bit. We start work again on Wednesday and, after getting our first points away from home, we will be trying to build on it. "Everything has come from our commitment during training in the week. It is possible to change direction with every game, so we must stay focussed. But this performance gives me a lot of confidence for the future. "I am proud of being part of this team. Crawley have been very strong at home yet we restricted them to few clear-cut chances."
