Yeovil can push on to safety now, says Obika
Jon Obika capped the best week of his career with his first senior goal and then targeted another win for his new 'family' at Yeovil Town.
The on-loan Tottenham striker grabbed the winner against Swindon which earned manager Terry Skiverton his first victory in charge of the Glovers.

Yeovil remain in the League One relegation zone but are level on points with Northampton, who visit Huish Park tomorrow night.
Obika, who made his England debut for the Under-19s in a 0-0 draw with the Czech Republic on Wednesday, said: "That (England) was a great achievement for me. My family are very proud of that and to get my first league goal and for us to win and play fantastic on the day is a great feeling.
"The win is the most important because we have to stay up. It is better than playing for England because we are now a family and we have to stick together and push through.
"I am delighted with my first league goal and just thankful for the gaffer for giving me the chance. I feel in good form so I hope the gaffer keeps believing in me and I keep putting in good performances."
The Northampton game is followed by winnable home games against Hartlepool, Hereford and Colchester that give Yeovil a real chance of survival.
"It is another big game so all we can do is push on and give our all on the day," said Obika. "The home games are going to be important. We are playing well at the moment so we just need to keep going.
"Harry Redknapp has told me to keep positive and play my game and hopefully I will keep pushing through."
Obika's Spurs team-mate Andros Townsend was named man of the match. "I thought he was amazing," said Obika.
"He gave the right back a lot of trouble. I have spent probably my whole life with him in the Spurs youth team so we know where we are."
Obika is also forming a partnership with fellow striker Gavin Tomlin. "Gavin is great," he said. "In training he produces some amazing things so I have to learn off him. We are linking up well."
Skiverton is hopeful defenders Craig Alcock (knee) and Aaron Brown (groin) will be fit for tomorrow night but may decide not to change the side.
