get a win under out belts / get the scoreboard ticking again Explanation: There are many phrases you could use. Here are a couple. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 mins (2012-02-02 11:05:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ignore my second proposal. Doesn't word in your context. Another option: get some more points on the board. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2012-02-02 12:18:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just thought of a better one: "get back to winning ways". |
