There are times when you achieve success against the odds. Tonight was one of those occasions.
Anyone not at the game would assume the final score was par for the course against one of the league strugglers.
How wrong they would be! Outplayed for long periods against a never-say-die opponent, we converted all of our chances with clinical precision.
Tonight was really a must-win game for us & despite going 2-0 up, then 3-1 up, you've got to admire the gallant 'U's' for battling back to 3-2.
When 7 minutes of extra time was announced, a draw was looking like a serious possibility until super-sub Armstrong delivered the coup-de-grace in the 94th minute.
They say that to win when playing badly is the sign of a good team. Based on tonight's performance, we must be brilliant! Goals apart, we were awful.
Walking home after the game a voice called from across the road. 'Well done tonight', said a U's fan getting into his car for the long journey home; 'We haven't won an away game for a year!' - Now that's what I call dedication.
Football can be a cruel old game.
