Oldham away was another pivotal moment

We'd have probably slid back into the pack if not for Robins' fantastic last-minute winner. I remember looking at the table immediately afterwards and thinking "actually, there's really not much between us and Oldham at all". We'd both scored loads and conceded loads, both played exhilarating, almost kamikaze stuff - but one of us was top, the other bottom. The gap was never, in reality, that big: it was just a remarkable season where key things went for us at crucial times, and we got a bandwagon going.
