Allen had not experienced an away win with Cheltenham before Tuesday

Cheltenham boss Martin Allen has said his players cannot bask in the glory of their FA Cup first round replay win over League One rivals Oldham.

The 1-0 win on Tuesday was the first away victory at Boundary Park for the Robins under Allen's management.

Allen told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: "Whatever sport you play, mental attitude is the number one.

"It is keeping up the focus and determination. We have to get ourselves going again."

Allen said after the victory that the team could not think they had "cracked it".

"You can forget fitness and team organisation.

"When you go out there and you don't perform then you don't win.

"We have to get ourselves going again. More to the point they have to get themselves going again."

The Robins will face Carlisle on Saturday at Brunton Park.
