"It was a pleasing response from the players and I don't think anyone could argue that we didn't deserved to win the game," said Wise. "But that is just one game and we still have plenty of cup finals left to play if we are to get ourselves out of trouble.
"We have to maintain that level of performance until the end of the season. I think that if we do that then we shouldn't be too far away.
"We dominated for long spells and I think it would have been extremely harsh on us had they scored with the penalty at the end.
"It was a massive game for us and the fans - who were terrific by the way - and you could see by the reaction of the players how much the goal meant to every single one of them."
