Noble asks if night out was such a bad idea!
And he has also been at pains to describe how much it hurt as the team received so much early criticism.
The team were savaged over their appalling defending – and of course the Slav-sanctioned night out – which has brought about an internal investigation.
And Noble explained how tough he has found things of late saying: “It’s not nice to pick up your phone and read how bad we are.
“People saying that we’re this and we’re that. I watched TV before the game and saw people saying how bad our defending was.
“That win was a little boost for us. Just to show we do care. We really, really care. The way we’ve trained, the way we are as players, it’s really important to us.
“When you look at it, by all accounts we’ve had a terrible start, our worst in how many years. But we’re only a point now behind Leicester, who won the league last season. Start winning a couple of games and it doesn’t look so bad after all.
“We’ve had meetings as players, with the staff. We got hammered for going out on a night out, but since that night we’ve picked up four points, so is it a bad thing? I don’t know.”
