[Albion] Euphoria of Knockaert's name on the teamsheet

[Bozza]

That was a real "Wow!" moment, and he came so close to delivering what we all hoped for.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

It entirely changed my pre-match mood. He's that important. He must not be allowed to leave.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

It was borderline surreal!

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Dare I say he's a better player and signing than Vicente was ? Not just for his availability through not being constantly injured but his sheer skill running with the ball and ability to open up a defence with pace !

 

[pocketseagull]

Hearing what seemed to be the whole stadium singing 'we've got Knockaert...'

WOW.

More of that for our team next season please.

same as when Bobby's name was announced in the line up at Peterborough c13? years ago. Missed a pen then scored the winner I recall.

I believe [MENTION=12880]Hotchilidog[/MENTION] said exactly the same!

 

[Hugo Rune]

How the **** did his free kick manage to hit the inside of Wednesday's lefthand upright, rebound across goal avoiding the righthand upright and then like a ****, roll off harmlessly for a goal kick.

Talk about fine margins - that needed to be a few centimetres to left.....

 

[Withdean and I]

The buzz outside before the game when word started to go around was superb.
Not in a noticeable chanting way, but person to person at the outside catering etc. It literally lifted everyone and his genius is held in the highest regard!!!

Agree. He was the one I was most gutted about on Friday (even ignoring going down to ten men as a result). If anyone was going to win it for us, it was him and, as you say, he came very close. For anyone he was amazing last night but for a player who could hardly walk on Friday, he was incredible. What a signing.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I was on the train reading Twitter when I saw the team as reported by Andy Naylor. Normally I just read it out to my other half but I blurted it out loudly that Knockaert (& Sidwell) was starting. You could tangibly feel the buzz running through the carriage. Everyone started smiling.

A few? more like 1 or less.

 

[Seasidesage]

Having seen the twitter photo's of his ankle, the boy has plenty of courage too as that must've hurt for every moment he was on the pitch...

 

[LamieRobertson]

It's going to seem like a long summer until we can watch the team we love again

 

[5ways]

As someone said on twitter it's as if he rose like Lazarus

Exactly this - was in the queue at the fish and chip van when the tweet was posted..........'you're *****ng joking !!!' etc...........

 

[brightn'ove]

When the team news filtered through in the north stand the whole concourse started singing 'we've got knockaert'. It seemed like every free kick we had in his sort of area the entire stadium was singing the knockaert song. His tweets after the game are fantastic too, I do hope we keep him.

 

[Bold Seagull]

And that header....oh what might have been...

 

[SweatyMexican]

I just wanted to scream at everyone around me in Dick's Bar and celebrate like we'd scored a goal!

I think he's the best player in the Championship, and I wouldn't say that often. Let's hope we can keep him in the summer.
