Jackett: The luck was with Lions

01 November 2009 14:09
The U's looked on course to extend their unbeaten run under manager Aidy Boothroyd to 10 straight games when Anthony Wordsworth slotted home a deflected free-kick after 18 minutes. But Millwall turned the tide after the restart and forced their way back into contention courtesy of defender Alan Dunne's 30-yard thunderbolt in the 66th minute.[LNB]Wordsworth could have quelled the Lions rally deep into injury-time, but crashed a 25-yard free-kick on to the crossbar before Henry showed him how to do it from a similar position 30 seconds later.[LNB]"You have to say it was a tale of two free-kicks. James' went in and the other guy's stayed out and luck was with us," said Jackett, whose side are now in the play-off places.[LNB]"We were down five per cent in the first half but upped the tempo and got the crowd involved, and that's what we need to do when we're at home. We built up a good head of steam and had plenty of chances, and that's the type of performance we need to be putting in at The Den.[LNB]"It's all about consistency in this league because there are no bad teams and we've taken 13 out of 15 points, so we're getting there."[LNB][LNB]
