John McGreal is backing his U’s to prove their promotion credentials in a New Year’s Day trip to Crawley Town.
The League Two contenders dropped five points from two home games over the festive period but McGreal is confident of a response from Saturday’s 0-0 stalemate against Morecambe.
“We are still in it,” insisted McGreal.
“There were a lot draws (at the weekend), for the likes of Bury, Mansfield and MK Dons, so we are still fourth and level on points with Mansfield in third.

“It was a frustrating afternoon, because looking at the stats we have had close to 40 shots over the last two matches (including the 2-1 home defeat to Stevenage on Boxing Day).
“We dominated the game, territory-wise, but we just needed that bit of luck at the end.
