But after the physical, mental and emotional exertion of that win, voices seemed a little hoarser and wearier. Still, there were some home fans dancing in the stands ahead of kick-off. With good reason too, given that Luton's defeat at Wolves earlier in the day left Dyche's men with their fate in their own hands.
