Ashley Barnes says the squad fought hard for the three points, as Norwich City claimed a 3-1 win at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
Barnes scored the Canaries' second of the night, with Borja Sainz and Jonathan Rowe also on the scoresheet.
"What a game, we needed the win to get up the table," Barnes said. "The lads fought hard again tonight, and luckily we've come away with the win.
"I think we had a few chances. Me certainly, I had a few chances in the first half that I should be burying.
"This is football, and they go down the other end and get the equaliser, which is very frustrating. That's why I have to put those chances away, they get that momentum and get back into the game.
"It was all about making sure we come out in the second half and get the early goal and kill them off."
At half-time, the game was 1-1 and Barnes says he always had the belief and confidence to find a way back into the game.
"I have to keep believing, I've been more frustrated in recent games of not having many shots and getting nowhere near the goal, but I was in the right places tonight.
"But unfortunately, I need to sharpen up on my finishing, that's for sure! Luckily enough, I was to put one in the back of the net and then Jonny goes on to score the third that really kills the game off."
The striker also spoke about Saturday's upcoming trip to Ipswich Town.
"I think everyone's been looking forward to this. Everyone associated with the club speaks about how big of a game it is, and I'm so glad I'm going to be part of it."
