1-0 Wins Could Make The Difference - Wilbraham

The veteran striker headed the only goal of the game after 14 minutes as City claimed maximum points with a gritty display over an impressive visiting Rochdale team.

Wilbraham has already experienced four promotions in an 18-year professional career, and insists the ugly wins are often the most important.

“It’s always nice to get the goal in a 1-0 victory,” he told Bristol City Player.

“I said earlier in the week that Rochdale were going to present a tough test. They played some good football and they’re full of runners, so we had to dig in to make sure we got the three points.

“Sometimes me and Kieran (Agard) had to drop into midfield and make it difficult for them to get the overload.

“There were a few tired legs from Tuesday because we put so much effort into that game, and I think that showed, but it’s always a good sign when you don’t put in the best performance and still win the game.

“Anyone who has a good season always scrapes a few 1-0 wins along the way. I think that’s what will make the difference towards the end of the season.

“We’re not getting carried away thinking we are going to get promoted because there’s still a long way to go, but I think these types of results help build confidence in each other and the team.”
