An unconvincing start to the season had culminated in that first 45 minutes, an afternoon of misery in front of the TV cameras at a half empty stadium.
From somewhere a fightback was fashioned, not just that afternoon but over the remainder of the season that is continuing to this day. Seven years down the line.
