"It's a vital win," Robinson told the Oxford Mail.
"We know we've been good at times, but not had the results to follow that.
"The never-say-die attitude, the ability to put bodies on the line, the ability to be one unified group is far greater.
“I’ve talked about the talent this team has got, but it’s helpless if you want to use it on our own.
“The players showed their talent can be part of a team.
“We’ve got to be better in certain areas and we’ve got to stick together because it’s only one win.”
