SIMON Brown feels the weight of the world has been lifted off his shoulders after scoring his first goal of the season in today's 1-1 draw at Barnet.
"I shot across the keeper and he just got his fingertips to it which slowed it right down and I was hoping it would go over the line," he said.
"But I would take any goal right now, even if the ball smashed me in the face and went in!
"I think the last goal I scored was against these last season and it had become a bit of a burden. Now the weight is off my shoulders.
"We know we had enough chances for a win today.
"But the boys are pretty buoyant. It feels like a win getting a point here.
"Although they got a lucky penalty and we should have had one, things are starting to go for us now. We played really well today.
"We were going for the second goal to kill them off but they broke away and scored. But we carried on and didn't go under.
"A point is better than nothing in our predicament.
"Quite a few managers keep saying we are the best team they've played so it would be nice to start winning."
