Forest Green will not get carried away after beating York City to replace them at the top of the National League table, insists manager Steve Cotterill.

Rovers beat York 2-0 to maintain their unbeaten record at The Bolt New Lawn and move two points clear at the summit.

"It's just been another game, you don't get any more points for beating York City because they were top of the table - it's the same three points as you get for everyone," Cotterill told 成人快手 Radio Gloucestershire.

"Just keep going, keep our head down, keep humble, stay grounded.

"I probably don't need to talk about those things because it'll certainly be what I am [doing] - and I know they're young boys and sometimes they can get carried away with it but I'm pretty sure they won't."

Forest Green are looking for an immediate return to the Football League after their relegation from League Two last season.

Cotterill took over in January but was unable to stop them going down. However, he has overseen 12 wins in the league this season, and only two losses in 18 games.

He was sat in the stands on Saturday for the second successive league match while serving a touchline ban after being shown a red card during the draw with Woking last month.

"You've got to keep building those three points, chipping away in these winter months," Cotterill said. "Hopefully get a couple of the injuries back and a little bit more competition for us.

"I've never known any league that hands out medals in November. It just makes a nice night, finishes off the weekend."
