Swindon Town manager Mark Cooper described his side's 2-1 win over Coventry City as "the best win of the season".
Cooper told the Press Association: "The win is the best this season without a doubt and as a result we are going to trust them and give them Christmas Day off.
"It was a fantastic game between two really good teams - the best team we've played. Their forwards are very good and we did well to keep it to one goal.
"They were better in the first half and we made some radical changes. I decided to open the game up and see if we could win it - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
"We've been open like that away from home and got beat but they showed they can have a bit of balance. We had to defend a lot at times because it was end-to-end but it was enjoyable to watch."
