Town manager Jim Magilton admits Town were lucky to beat Derby County 1-0 at Pride Park earlier today. Magilton said: "They showed tremendous character, great spirit, and it did not look like a fragmented dressing room to me.
"They certainly stuck together and needed to. We knew Derby would put us under pressure in the second half and they showed great heart as well.
"They kept going to the end for their manager even when we had the numerical advantage."But we had a wee bit of luck which we deserved and managed to get three points. Let us hope that is the start of something.
"We have not had the rub of the green away from home at times but certainly our away performances, judging on last year, are certainly improved.
"The midfield did well. Points away from home are not easy to come by but we managed to do that.
"I was pleased with the clean sheet. Richard was very good with safe handing.
"We can be better with the ball. We can be more patient and take better care of the ball. We are better than that but sometimes you have to do what you have to do to win a game of football.
"It was a big three points and if we can build up some momentum this team will grow in confidence. We have a lot of good players and again confidence affects everyone. The self belief is their and I have not lost mine. The players showed great heart and deserved the three points."
