Thought it was important that we see out the game. even though we won, finally having a game where we defended really well and didn't concede a late goal could do wonders for the confidence. We know we can defend well if necessary, but for the last month or so we've been letting in late goals that make us doubt ourselves. It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle; having conceded late, we get to 75 minutes thinking "wouldn't it suck if we conceded late again", so we sit back and invite pressure, and almost inevitably concede late again.
Breaking that cycle was vital for us.
This just goes to show the small margins between success and failure in this division.
