Returning defender Alan Sheehan admitted his surprise at playing 90 minutes against Carlisle United but was delighted with another home win at 'fortress' County Ground.
Sheehan, on-loan from League One rivals Leeds United, lined-up at left-back against The Cumbrians and played his part in another solid home display from The Robins.
Speaking to the media post-match, the 23-year old offered his views on making a swift return to the starting eleven.
"I got my head down in training and the key really has been hard work every day," said the Irishman.
"Days like this make it all worth it. The result was fantastic and I was delighted to get through the ninety minutes.
"The hamstring feels good and touch wood things will be okay. It's great to be winning the games we are."
Billy Paynter headed home his 20th goal of the season with Sheehan joining the Liverpudlian front man with an unorthodox goal celebration.
"Billy and I were joking around with the celebration. It was a sumo wrestling thing - we had the idea but as we were both involved in the goal we thought we would go for it.
"It was a good craic!" smiled the Irishman.
"I think we have the players here to win promotion, the spirit is great and if we keep picking up points who knows what could happen. We don't fear anyone and I am excited ahead of the next game.
He added: "The run we have been on has been great. The County Ground is becoming a bit of a fortress and let's hope we can keep it going."
