Barwell manager Marcus Law says title talk is banned despite the Canaries now holding a 15-point advantage at the top of the Midland Alliance table.

The Kirkby Road side made it 17 wins from 19 games with a 3-0 success at second-placed Coalville last weekend.

They have drawn their other two matches in an explosive opening third of the season.

But Law insisted: "The job is nowhere near done and if I see any complacency among the players I will jump on it.

"We've not played some of the other teams up there and everyone will be looking to beat us."

Law said the 3-0 win over the Ravens "flattered" his side but paid tribute to the ruthlessness of his strikers.

He said: "It was a very close game and the scoreline probably gives the wrong impression as it was hard-fought all the way through."

Barwell's goals came from Adam Cunnington (2) and Kevin Charley. They are the leading scorers in the division with Cunnington on 17 and Charley just one behind.

"Our strikers are full of confidence as the top scorers in the league. We took our chances and I guess that was the difference," said Law.

"Our centre-forwards are putting in some strong performances. The other factor is that we have good strength in the squad which means players will not give up their shirt lightly because they might not get back in the team."

Last season, Barwell finished as runners-up in the Alliance but missed out on elevation to the Unibond League because only champions Market Drayton Town were promoted.

On Saturday, the Canaries are in FA Vase action at home to last Glossop North End, last season's beaten finalists.
