Striker James Crole says Newport County's players are looking up the League Two and not down after his late goal at Barnet secured a precious win for the relegation strugglers.
The 22-year-old's 83rd minute winner gave County a 2-1 triumph and, crucially, moved them out of the relegation zone with nine games of the season remaining.
It was Crole's first goal in the English Football League (EFL) after joining County from Cymru Premier side Penybont in January.
"It's a big moment for me. I've been dreaming about it - not even just since I came here - but for the last few years, to score my first goal in the EFL and the fact that it could be such a big goal in our season, it's a massive moment and I'm over the moon," Crole said.
"I came in to score goals and I probably haven't done that as much as I'd like to, I'm hoping I can kick on from this and take some momentum in to the next couple of games and do well for the rest of the season.
"The belief is there, every game we show fight, will and desire and we showed that second half [against Barnet], so we're out of the bottom two - hopefully we can start looking up rather than down."
County next face leaders Bromley at Rodney Parade on Tuesday 16 March (19:30 GMT).
"I think this team, on its day, is capable of beating anyone in the league," added Crole.
"We'll go in to every game with the mindset that we can win and that won't change against Bromley."
