Sammy is hopeless, he shouldn't be getting a game for us.

I wonder if Dummet has Ritchie in his pocket in training as much as he had Knockaert. Twice. http://i.imgur.com/lYDmo1w.gif

I thought that his distribution was poor at times, he never tries to hide and gets stuck in so I would say last night he put in an average performance rather than a good one. I much prefer Hayden in the middle along side Shelvey and I've seen nothing from any of our other central midfielders to change my mind on that.

I thought it was a tough game for us last night and we handled it really well. They had virtually everybody behind the ball and it was difficult for us to create any space. Before the game I suspected that our best chance would be to get some decent free kicks which we could open them up with and while that wasn't what won us the game it was as tight as I'd expected. The forward players were on a hiding to nothing trying to get past so many players and I think we did just about enough in front of goal. I think players like Atsu, Ritchie, Shelvey and Perez will have more space to work in if we do go up and I think we'll be much more effective next season.

I actually enjoyed the game tonight, we pissed it.

I can't understand why people are still uptight about our position, it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. it is a bit riddiculous but I think there is a slight worry with how we seemingly dominate most games but struggle to create many clear cut chances. I worry that getting held to a couple of draws and suddenly you're in the mix, especially with Wednesday and Leeds next. We win games when we have to and we've gone to Brighton, Huddersfield and Reading and came away with 7 points, we'll be fine.

We're up, people need to relax.

He gives us balance that we don't have when he 's not playing. He can be a bit frustrating at times just like most of our other players.

He was brilliant tonight, he misplaced the odd pass, had a good goal chalked off and had massive determination to get the goal he deserved. £12 million for him is almost as good as us stealing £30 million for Sissoko.

Atsu had a good game and we're a better team with him rather than without him. We played OK tonight under really difficult circumstances caused by an inept referee.

Not a chance it will be replayed, we were wronged and still won, no way could that be replayed.

All over the place at times in the 2nd half. Hanley looks a far better bet in Clarks absence.

He was OK.

That is the most bizarre game of football that I have ever seen in my life, I can't get my head around that penalty and never will.

The grounds half empty.

Hopefully just dropping Colback off the Tyne Bridge.

Mbemba probably gets a start because Hanley is too slow, that's a good and sensible change.

Your life will now depend on that happening.

Oh dear, another new hip? I'm sure the hips will be fine, I'm more concerned about my mental state with some of the moaning b******s who sit close to me. Take out your hearing aid then.

I fell reasonably confident about tonight and that doesn't always end well.

It would be nice to be known as the winners for a change.

I agree but I do remember a few times wishing we knew how to shut the opposition out under Keegan.
