He played for about 20 minutes, in which time he got to the line and delivered two excellent crosses, and managed to get 2 defenders booked (should have been three, but the final one was so late in injury time the ref couldn't be bothered).

Not seen such Bravery!
No one.
It was a response to a theory that the club are worried about losing players, and losing one in particular to a direct rival.

We need a striker, urgently.
When Murray went off we were every bit as bad as last October to December
I think we could do with one more, but I don't think last night was comparable with Oct to Dec, as we were 3-0 up and absolutely coasting. It was ALWAYS going to be a dull final 20 mins.

Ok, I'll be less kind.
Hemed was every bit as blunt as last Oct to Dec for 89 minutes (excellent pen, obviously)
I hope the pen gives Hemed confidence as he's been poor up till now.

Agreed. And I'm not making that assumption...
All about opinions, but personally feel that's a very harsh call. Hemed's link play has been excellent. Missed a big chance just after Murray's goal last night, but decent again all round.
You could see the team was trying to get him a goal...

I once heard the phrase 'strengthen from a position of strength'. The way we have started, the squad we have, the vibe around the club... TB must feel like we just need that last ingredient to push us over the line.
At this stage, I hope we won't be accepting any offers. A club could offer 20m+ for knockaert but what would that do for us? What 10m+ replacement winger would want to come to us on our kind of wages? AK is a cut above your standard championship winger, he changes games, even last night his goal came out of nowhere. Selling him for any price would literally be taking us down 20% as a promotion contender.
I'm more concerned about Dunk, who is absolutely top drawer. Could be the finished article we see of him this season and that is an exciting prospect.
Stephens is a constant concern, who for me is our best midfielder when match fit.
If we hang on to these 3 (and BK but I think that's a given) AND strengthen with an exciting no.10 and cover at CB, then I legitimately feel we'll be going up.
