Di Canio: Five more wins and Swindon promoted

Manager Paolo di Canio is targeting five victories from Swindon Town's remaining 13 matches to get them promotion from League Two. The Robins currently sit top of the League Two standings on 67 points, three clear of second-place Cheltenham with a game in hand.

"Obviously I want to finish top and I want to win 12 from 13," the Italian told BBC Wiltshire.

"My brain says 13, but five and 15 points can be enough. If you have 82 points, in my opinion, you go up."

He added: "I don't want to say we are close, we have to focus the attention step-by-step, game-by-game. Against every team, we play for something.

"Only the Swindon Town manager and players can burn the chance to go up."
