It was a normal day for Paolo Di Canio yesterday – another touchline ban and another dig at Oxford United.

The Swindon boss has been handed a two-game ban for his third dismissal of the season.

And he then claimed that striker Mehdi Kerrouche will make no impact at Oxford during his month on loan.

“Mehdi is a good player, but I don’t see how much difference he can make for Oxford in one month,” he added.

“I don’t mind if they become strong because we are a much better side than them – we are 1,000 miles ahead of them.

“Even when we were struggling at the start of the season, the game against them should have finished 8-2 to us, but it was 2-1 to them.”
