Mark Cooper plays down Swindon Town promotion bid

Swindon Town boss Mark Cooper plays down talk of automatic promotion into the Championship after thumping Coventry to move top of League One.

Mark Cooper has moved to play down Swindon Town's chances of winning automatic promotion to the Championship - despite moving top of League One on Monday.

Two goals from Andy Williams and another from Jonathan Obika helped the Robins thump Coventry City 3-0 last night and move above Bristol City on goal difference.

The victory represented Swindon's seventh win in nine outings, but Cooper, whose side are six points clear of third-placed MK Dons, stresses the need for caution.

"It's a dangerous thing to say because we were going along pretty well and got walloped 5-0 at Cheltenham in the FA Cup, so we just have to keep going," he told Sky Sports News.

"We're not looking at anything other than the next game, as boring as it sounds. No-one really thought we'd be where we are but we are really enjoying the ride.

"We just try to focus on what we do. We just keep working really hard. They are a really good group, level headed, desperate to work hard and learn more."

Cooper's side host Chesterfield and Bradford City at the County Ground in their next two games.
