After missing out on a money spinning FA Cup tie with Everton, which would have seen him testing his managerial wits against his former Swansea City teammate Roberto Martinez, Darren Way helped to get Yeovil Town's season back on track with a win over Crawley Town.
It was Way's introduction of Ryan Bird and Tahvon Campbell - a loan signing from West Bromwich Albion - as duo both scored in the 59th and 77th minutes respectively to give the Glovers a two goal lead.
Lee Barnard scored a late consolation goal for the Red Devils with seven minutes to go, but Yeovil held on to secure a 2-1 win that lifts them out of the relegation zone at the expense of Dagenham and Redbridge on goal difference - briefly banished the memories of their FA Cup penalty shoot-out defeat to Carlisle United.
With 19 games to go, the Glovers now need another 30 points to go with the 20 that they have already accrued to avoid what would be a third successive relegation.
Instead of looking forward to hosting Everton, Way's side will be travelling to AFC Wimbledon and, at the end of the next month, they will have a proverbial 'six-pointer' against Dagenham and Redbridge to look forward to.
