Adrian Heath said after City's 1-0 win against Luton Town: "The three lads that came on changed the game for us, they gave us a real fresh impetus.
"Sometimes it doesn't matter how you win or how you play, you just have to stop that losing cycle. "I think we have enough quality to get ourselves enough points, but the longer those defeats kept coming the more you think about it."
