PABLO'S 'SPECIAL MOMENT'

Posted on: Mon 18 Jan 2010
Pablo Counago described his last gasp winner against Coventry as a 'special moment'.

The Town striker kept his cool to chip the ball over Keiren Westwood six minutes into added on time and only 12 seconds after the restart following Richard Wood's equaliser in Blues' 3-2 win on Saturday.

The goal gave Town a third successive home win and prompted wild celebrations on the pitch with 'keeper Arran Lee-Barrett racing the length of the pitch to join his team-mates and fitness coach Antonio Gomez also getting in on the act.

"We were very down when they scored their second goal but football can be unpredictable and sometimes fantastic things can happen," Pablo told the Club website.

"It looked like two points dropped but we had one minute left and luckily that was enough to get the winner.

"It was a good pass from Connor [Wickham]. As soon as I controlled the ball, in my head I knew what I wanted to do. The 'keeper was very close to me and there was a lot of space to go for it so I tried it and I was very happy to see it go in.

"It was a special moment for me, of course but it's more important for the team. It is always the team that counts.

"We know we need to win games and it may have been with the last kick but I think we deserved the three points."
