City returned to winnings ways four days later , when Eddie Johnson scored the only goal of a 1 – 0 victory over Morecambe . Johnson scored for a second successive game , three days later to secure a 1 – 1 draw with Barnet in a rearranged game at Valley Parade . A second successive draw on 12 April , this time 2 – 2 against Brentford , meant that City could no longer reach the play @-@ offs , ensuring that they would again be playing in League Two during 2008 – 09 . A late goal from Joe Colbeck on 19 April prevented a third successive draw and gave City a 2 – 1 victory over Grimsby Town .
