Blackpool manager Ian Holloway is determined to guard against complacency as his side look to continue their impressive form.
The Seasiders have been one of the surprise packages in the Coca-Cola Championship and lie seventh in the table with roughly a third of the season completed.
But ahead of this weekend's home game against Scunthorpe, Holloway warned: "We've done nothing yet. I'm enjoying it and we've had a good start but it's all about how you carry on.
"The more you show somebody what you can do the better you have to get at it. There's no good just settling for what you did last week, it's always about the next week.
"That's the unfortunate thing, no matter what you've achieved you're only ever judged by the next thing you do. It would only take a bad performance on Saturday for a few negatives to start creeping in. It's a long old journey."
On the prospect of facing Scunthorpe, the Seasiders boss added: "I don't ever go into a game expecting to win. I'm optimistic we might be able to but I realise how difficult the task is, so to expect it would be belittling to our opponents."

I think the article-writer above can start to drop the 'surprise package' bit, now! Visiting teams well know what to expect from Blackpool. These visitors are professionals for goodness sake.
Blackpool's 'physical edge' will probably reappear,but please don't alienate the ref' with needless complaints! Do what you are best at, that's what the fans will enjoy.
Blackpool will almost certainly have more of the possession, but there must be an end product in the form of a 'few' goals. With so many teams on similar points, goal difference is already looking like it will be important throughout the season, hence, a 'few' goals.
A draw is definitely not acceptable today (saturday), sorry! This would relegate us to the 'ordinary' category!
