What is needed is navigating their way through the final fixtures, beginning at Wigan Athletic on Saturday before Easter games against Bristol Rovers at the Racecourse and away to Blackpool.

Some have already eyed the final home game of the season against play-off hopefuls Charlton Athletic as a day promotion could be sealed before the final day at Lincoln City.

But defender Eoghan O’Connell, one of a number in the squad hoping for a third promotion medal, says those thoughts have not made their way into the dressing room.

Describing the closing stage of the season as a rollercoaster, the centre-back said: “It’s in our own hands in the run-in, but we won’t take that for granted.

“Any victory at this stage of the season is a big victory, especially after Tuesday night (where Wrexham drew at Cambridge United). In the end it turned out to be a good point but we didn’t want to lose momentum. Just to win today is huge.

“I suppose it’s a swing, but a few weeks ago we were beaten by Leyton Orient and it was the end of the world. The best thing we’ve done at this stage over the last few years is never get carried away by one result, and we will look to keep doing that with five games to go.

“We’re enjoying it but we’ll enjoy it even more if we finish the job.”
