Yes, agree with that, and that all plays into my memory of the day, especially having trudged up to Sheffield (following on from Middlesborough). The news filtering through that Knockaert and Sidwell would start, after what looked like terrible injuries. The raucous atmosphere pre-match. The Knockaert-inspired team elevating their performance beyond the levels of the crowd and, each in turn, cranking the other up another level. A goal.I think it was too. That first half leading up to our goal, the atmosphere was totally electric. Knockaert was like a man possessed and I've no doubt our fans literally driving the players.on.
And then deflation via the further injustice of a clear push on Dunk from their goal. And then the post-match reaction, which said to me that they'd do it next season. Bloom extended CH's contract the day after too, and Murray arrived soon after.
