I did much the same thing as Knocky a few years ago during a game (I partially detached the ligament from the bone), so I was amazed he was able to play last night....and play so well!
Took me a good couple of weeks of being heavily strapped up & on crutches to get over the worst of it - & even then I was still hobbling around for a couple more. Massive kudos to Anthony for getting on with it in only 3 days, and putting it all on the line for the badge.
As a comparison, here's my ankle nice and swollen after 5 days as the bruising was starting to come out....I expect Knocky will be putting his feet up & resting it for a few days in the physios room now!

Yeah gotta be painful and he started very well as did Sidwell but getting into the second half, seemed to tire and not get the ball often, the longer game went on the less likely we looked to score, was wierd taking off Baldock who can score a goal and why bring Lua Lua on and not Murphy was a bit strange as Murphy has been good all season.
But then again the players been fantastic this year and yesterday they battled and did us proud, its just annoying losing to a very average hoof it and lucky side like sheff wednesday, i dont think they looked any good in entire game and they going to Wembley.
Football isnt fair but id prefer our side still than have wednesdays team and be in position they in.

Thats why players should go back to proper boots and shin pads (the ones with the ankle support). Still top job Knackaert, he battled for the cause. Salute.

I think half time did for us. We were brilliant in the first half, if it had continued I'm sure we would have scored more. But I supect that during half time our injured players stiffened up and even though I'm sure the physions would have tried to keep them moving they weren't anything like as good after half time. If we had got to extra time they would have been dead on their feet
This seems to have turned into a lets show off my ankle thread so I thought I'd join in
Can we leave Joey Barton out of this please!

According to one user on here, he's a "cowardly Frenchman". Gave it his absolute all last night.
