Oxford United head coach Gary Rowett felt his side showed plenty of character in their 1-1 draw with Norwich City.
The U's are eight games without a win in the Championship but moved eight points clear of the relegation zone.
"Recently we haven't had the results to go with the performances," Rowett said in the post-match press conference.
"I felt we'd lost a bit of confidence and momentum and sometimes you need a performance like that and I thought we nullified a lot of what they did.
"After conceding so early we showed a lot of character - I'm really proud of the players."
Oxford visit relegation-threatened Hull City on Tuesday and Rowett is keen they put on a similar performance.
"It takes a lot of concentration to do what we did and there were some good moments and basically you have to dig in," he added.
