We also asked supporters on Twitter for their verdicts on the game. Here is a selection.

Winning when not at full tilt is the sign of a good side. Callum Guy was everywhere, and JK Gordon's goal was stylish. The next few weeks could be crucial. COYB (@BruceVander)

2-0 win when you aren’t at your best. Sign of a very good team. Big month this. If we can get 12-15 points over the next run of five games we’ll be in that top three (@parkinsonross)

Great stuff second half in those conditions after a pretty awful first half in general - until that magnificent finish by Dennis. Superb goal by JKG and it was pretty comfy after that - could have been four or five by the end. A promotion-winning grind performance (@jpastalker)

Not a great game, stuck at it, three points is what’s it about and we move onto Bradford (@keithelliott94)

We've played better than that this season and not got all three points. A win's a win, in poor conditions. Up the Blues. (@cufcmike)

Poor start but sometimes you need to grind out a win. The boys dug in and got the job done (@jav_954)

Tough conditions. We got the first at a great time. The finish from Gordon was great. Three points. Cone on you Blues! (@LEEROTHERHAM)

Excellent bounce back result. Onwards and upwards (@johnbonj85)

Dour. Turgid. Three points. The type of match that gets you promoted. (@DaveScott1977)

An epic arctic endurance mission in the stands, but JK's quality on the ball and Hunts' clever yellow card in the first half gave me the will to carry on. A dream debut and goal from JK, Gibbo on fire, Mox below par but awesome. Now then, dare we dream? (@AyeCumbrian)

We’ve got super Paul Simpson (@fish_blues)

A wonderful goal by our new loan signing. That was it. But hey, three points! (@Rob_burn5)

The conditions were dire and we were under cosh a bit until comedy of errors and well taken goal by Dennis. Second half better and with the best ball Gordon had received off he went and scored a beaut. Three points, clean sheet, goal difference +14 - great stuff (@ericgreen866)
