Britton calls for reality check

Leon Britton has warned Swansea they must keep their feet on the ground when they face West Ham at the Liberty Stadium.

Michael Laudrup's side made a dream start to the new campaign with a crushing 5-0 win at QPR last weekend and lie third in the Barclays Premier League table.
The manner of the win, coming at a ground where Swansea had never beaten their opponents, means there is a keen sense of anticipation ahead of the first home meeting of the season against Sam Allardyce's Hammers.
But former West Ham midfielder Britton knows results like that at QPR will not be the norm, and with the visitors having also started their campaign with a win, against Aston Villa, he knows the Swans will need to be on their game.
He said: "Last week's result was a one-off. It's the sort of thing that happens once in every 20 or 30 games when everything goes for you. Every shot you have goes in, every tackle is made and every block is made and they fail to take their chances. You don't get carried away as you will get punished on Saturday.
"We have experienced players in the squad who will keep our feet on the ground and obviously the manager and staff will make sure of it. But if you get too far ahead of yourself we will lose on Saturday, there is no doubt about it."
