Paolo Di Canio believes that a number of Swindon Town players are unable to perform on the biggest stage.

Paolo Di Canio has suggested that his Swindon Town players failed to deal with the pressure of playing at Wembley yesterday afternoon.

The Robins lost 2-0 to Chesterfield in the final of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and Di Canio believes that the majority of his squad are "not capable" of performing on the biggest stage.

"We made many technical mistakes because they are not capable of playing at this stage," Di Canio told BBC Wiltshire. "I feel responsible too, in the way I choose my players, but now we have to come back to Swindon and obviously we are sad because in one game, when you have to win or die, a lot of players were incapable of playing their best at this stage.

"Not all of my players, but sometimes it happens when people feel sure, or even arrogant, or weak in their brain or weak in their heart.

"I don't want to say we have many in our team but on a special occasion we proved that some players are not ready to play this game."

Swindon are currently four points clear at the top of League Two.
