It was a great result for us to get a win on Saturday and it really keeps us in the play-off hunt.

Beating Millwall keeps the dream alive. We now need to win our remaining games and will need one or two other results to go our way but finishing in the top six is still a possibility.

We needed to win that game (against Millwall) and it was great to do so, even if we didn't play that well in the second half.

It was a little disappointing that we couldn't match our first half performance after the break but we held and that was the important thing.

There was not much said about me starting this game after a few matches on the bench but I sensed all week that I was going to get the start.

The game against Millwall was pretty much our last chance and I had a feeling that he (manager Steve Coppell) was going to go with his experienced side which I knew would mean my chance - football is funny like that.

For me it was just a normal game. I didn't really feel any pressure. I have been in this position before and getting flustered and anxious isn't going to help.

There was a lot said in the build-up about this being our last chance and how only a win would be enough to keep us in the hunt.

But you can't play a match like that. When are you desperate from the first minute, you can't really play properly.

If all you are worried about is not making a mistake, then you are never going to be able to settle. Millwall were always going to be tough opponents and they are not a bad side - as they have shown in their FA Cup run which has taken them all the way to the final.

And we couldn't afford to play like that in a match as important as this. I just went out there to do what I had to do.

I didn't get caught up with all the newspaper talk and all that, I just prepared in my usual way and went out there to do my thing.

It was nice to get a goal but it is the result that matters and it doesn't matter who scored.

The gaffer didn't say anything to me afterwards, but I didn't really expect him to.

I scored the goal, but that is my job. As long as the team wins, it doesn't matter how it happens. Managers only really talk about it when it is a goal in a play-off game that takes you through.

I expect I will probably start again in the next game (against already promoted West Bromwich Albion) and that is another one we really have to win.

Going out all guns blazing isn't the way to do it but the bottom line is that we need all three points on Saturday and that is what we will play for.

Kyle (Lightbourne) was around at my place a couple of weeks ago and we were talking about the World Cup thing and playing for Bermuda.

He said that he was feeling fit and really wanted to help out and I think it is a very good thing that he has got involved again. Kyle has a lot to offer because of his experience as a professional footballer and I think the rest of the team will benefit from having him in the set-up.

The trip down to Central America is definitely a good idea as it will be a good chance for all the players to get an idea of what football down there is going to be like, but Kyle's input will be invaluable.

We have a strong young team and it is always good to have some old heads around to share what they have been through in their careers. I think it benefits everyone and will help with the build-up to the El Salvador game.

There is a good feeling around Bermuda at the moment because of the World Cup fever - I sensed that when I came back for the Nicaragua game - and I hope that continues during this tour to prepare for the second round qualifying game.
