Against all odds, Barnsley FC have secured a vital win at the Madejski Stadium. In bagging three goals for the first time since 19th October and registering only the second victory of the season on their travels - might this win be the pivotal moment we've all been waiting for?
If you've been following the forums, Twitter and even posts on this site - there have been voices who feel our season is already over and that the club lacks a masterplan. But if anyone needed an emphatic reminder that it's not over until the fat lady sings - for pure balance you have to give the right to reply.
Now let's be realistic, Danny Wilson was never going to write an open letter to supporters, but speaking to the Official Website last night the Reds boss was in a defiant mood: "We fully deserved it and the way the lads went about it from start to finish was tremendous. We pressed the ball well and our energy levels were top-drawer.
"I'm not too convinced people believe us but inside the dressing room we've got great belief. If anyone wants to come with us, that's up to them. Whatever people think of us won't change my opinion."
And I for one believe him. All we were looking for is a sign. A signal that there were players who would believe the cause was worth fighting for and survival can be secured.
This not the time for a long term manifesto - this is about the next nine games. How we face them as a club and hopefully as a united group of supporters. It's those factors that will determine the final outcome. Today, the autopsy of our season is not on the agenda.
