If anything, at half-time, I had to just let them take the fluids on board and just keep focused, really, because the energy in the ground was...
was nothing that I've ever experienced, really.
I mean, it was like a humming feeling.
The place was like shaking because of the fans in there and the belief that was in it, really.
So it was just about half time, just settling the boys down and then coming out second half and making sure that we kept the momentum going.
The biggest thing for me, Darrell, was the boys being in total control in that cauldron and looking at the time and keeping that belief alive.
that they'd score goals.
Because the third goal came midway through the second half.
And then obviously the last goal come with the last kick of the game.
But the biggest point for me in the pitch was when Lee Gregory comes off his head to score that own goal and they go 5-4 ahead.
And there was a little bit of a silence in the crowd for about two minutes.
I just remember the lads saying on the pitch that we got more than enough time to score an equaliser.
And I think that was the proudest moment for me, that belief.
was there on the pitch.
And then, of course, when we get it back to 5-5...
And what I didn't say to you, lads, that all in training, all that week after the game, we was doing penalty kicks from the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, trained at Hillsborough under a chorus of noises at the stadium, under the tannoy of chorus of boos and that, like, you know, so tactical bits like that.
Tactical bits showing them comebacks after training every single day from different sports.
And then the biggest thing, gents, was showing them the 60-odd goals that we'd scored at Hillsborough that season, which was averaging three goals per game.
And we just needed a fourth.
So we'd scored, I'd showed all 23 home games, right from the first league one to the last one at home.
