We have had some vital 1-0 victories this season and I was delighted that we chalked up another one at Oldham last week. When you are trying to gain promotion, getting three points is the all-important thing and I'd certainly take another dozen 1-0 wins between now and the end of the season.
Having lost our appeal against Darel Russell's sending off on Saturday, it was interesting watching Chelsea playing on Wednesday against Inter Milan in the Champions League.
I was thrilled for my old Celtic manager, Martin O'Neill, to see his Aston Villa team book their place at Wembley in the Carling Cup final. I was watching the semi-final, second leg against Blackburn on Wednesday night and what an amazing scoreline in such a crucial game.
Our game at Colchester tomorrow has already provided many, many talking points but it is my job to make sure we concentrate on the only thing that matters - what happens on the pitch.
I was delighted to be able to sign Russell Martin and Anthony McNamee on a permanent basis at the start of this week. I know from their time on loan with us that they are the right kind of lads to be part of our squad, on and off the field, and that is important.
Our Johnstone's Paint Trophy exit at Southampton was both very disappointing and very unsatisfactory, but it will not damage the spirit in our dressing room.
Two vital away games in the next four days means more hard work for our squad but we are very much looking forward to the matches at Yeovil and Southampton.
We have won our last five home matches but there is no danger of me or my players taking anything for granted when we take on Oldham tomorrow. I have said several times that we are not going to just turn up for games thinking we are going to win.
