WE left Broadfield Stadium on Saturday night with a sense of relief at not just the U's win but the fact that finally everything seemed to click just how we'd hoped it would.
The 3-2 victory at Crawley Town leaves us one point above the relegation zone, with two games in hand over Sutton United.
Now, I am not saying we are safe by any stretch of the imagination, but now it is all in our hands and comes down to who wants it the most.

We host fellow strugglers Grimsby Town tonight, one of our games in hand.
As long as we play with the same passion and commitment as we did at Crawley, there is no doubt that we can secure another win and go into the weekend four points above Sutton, with a game in hand.
That would most certainly be advantage us and the pressure would firmly be on Sutton.
If they were to lose, then our safety would be assured.
It is, of course, so simple on paper but it is so close now and we have to keep the faith and do all we can as supporters to get the lads over the line.
It worked at Crawley at the weekend, and the fact we are at home will mean even more there to get behind the team and roar them to safety.
It's been a week of two very different games for the U’s.
Although we did not play badly against newly-promoted Stockport last Tuesday, it was the same story as of late.
We got ourselves into a position where we should and could have got something from the game, only to find our own way to somehow ensure we did not.
Yet again we were left wondering how we failed to come away with at least a point, after playing well and matching a team who are top of the league.
While Stockport was a case of what could have been, the trip to Crawley was at the other end of the spectrum.
With tickets priced at just £2, it was a good incentive for U's fans to attend.

It led to us taking just shy of 1,000 fans and from the off, they made noise that drowned out anything the home supporters could muster.
This support seemed to work, as we witnessed a performance that was one of, if not the best, we have seen under the Cowleys.
Every single player turned up with their game faces on and did everything and more that was asked of them.
The star of the show was Tom Hopper, a man that deserves all the accolades he is getting at the moment.
While he has not been a favourite for some fans, his work rate and hold up play has been key to others scoring goals.
It is testament to his commitment that he has quietly got on with is job when asked and ignored all the negativity.
This was all rewarded by a fine brace that should have been a hat-trick, with for his third 'goal' disallowed for a phantom foul on the goalkeeper.
At the other end, goalkeeper Sam Hornby looked assured and confident, producing some fine saves and his long ball distribution really helped our direct attacking game play.
Whatever the reason for Goodman being dropped, Hornby didn’t do his cause any harm at all.
He has now given Danny and Nicky a lot to think about regarding who they put between the sticks for the remainder of the season.
Up the U’s.
