PHIL Brown lauded the ruthless edge shown by his Swindon Town players in the wake of Saturday's dominant 3-0 win at Yeovil Town.

The victory at Huish Park was Swindon's fourth from nine League Two games this season, although it was the first to be sealed by more than one goal.

Swindon turned in their best performance of the campaign so far in Somerset and were a class above a Glovers side who had romped to a 6-0 victory away at Newport County the previous weekend.

The visitors had to wait until the hour mark to break the deadlock when Steven Alzate fired home from distance before finishing off Darren Way's Yeovil in the closing stages with further strikes from Matt Taylor and Elijah Adebayo.

After plenty of nerve-shredding victories already this season, Brown was pleased the Swindon players were able to make life easier for themselves by producing a killer instinct.

“I think it is a good trait to have," said Brown.

"When you get the second goal, it gives you a little bit of breathing space.

"Sometimes breathing space with professional footballers means you take your foot off the gas. It doesn’t for me, it means keep on doing the right things at the right times and we did.

"At 1-0, we should have been more than 1-0, and it should have been more than 0-0 at half-time, if truth be known.

"I don’t think Darren can argue against that. He had his day last week against Newport but Saturday was our day and I am delighted with my players."

After witnessing a dominant performance from his side, Brown admitted interest in bolstering the Swindon squad with free agents had cooled.

Brown believes it would now take too long for new arrivals to get up to speed with their fitness, so transfer focus will instead shift towards potential deals in January.

“There are still one or two players coming out of the woodwork but we are not interested at the moment," said Brown.

"I think we will piece the jigsaw together for the January transfer window.

"Once the summer window closes and we are six weeks into the season, the free agents are two months de-trained.

"I am not really interested in that – you can see how fit our lads are and you can see how fit the Yeovil lads are."
