SWINDON boss Paolo Di Canio was full of praise for match-winner Lee Holmes following Town’s 1-0 victory over Northampton this afternoon.

The winger cut inside and delivered a cross which evaded everyone to sail in at the back post seven minutes into the second half, and was the centre of many of Town’s attacking moves on a difficult afternoon at the County Ground.

“He will always go one-on-one, which is why I like him, sometimes he can lose but this is the type of player I want,” Di Canio said.

“You can not win every time, but if he does it 80 per cent of the time this is crucial for us.

“I do not know if he meant to score a goal like this, but when you put in balls like he did you cause problems for defenders. It happened today, and the way he moved his opponent and delivered the ball was amazing.”
