This is true, but I fully understand why Howe decided to go for an unchanged front 3 against Forest. Chance to get them some minutes together and hopefully gel.

I think he was trying to help it back across goal TBH. Still a great man like.

Can’t wait to have this guy running off Big Nick.

Hard to say since Minteh never played for us.

Would love to revisit Bruno for a flag this season, the number 39 maybe. Things have moved on since he arrived but he’s still the soul of the team and re-reading that article about his backstory on Players Tribune today brought a tear to my eye.

He runs the game and makes it look like it’s nowt. Ridiculous player.

Live, the pen looked really risky to me, but on the replay you can see how perfect it is. Well over the line before it rises into the top of the goal.

It's incredible how easily he's taken this move in his stride. Such a cool character.

His penalty looks much better on the replay, it wasn’t that close to the bar.

Off to the pet hates thread

Couldn’t see the handballs live but I couldn’t believe how he managed to give them so many soft free kicks. Unreal.

For his sake I hope not.

Live it seemed like the pen was worryingly near hitting the bar, but I was at the other end

He struggled a bit with being fouled to fuck and the referee doing nothing about it.

Wuv u Eddie.

Very poor for most of the first half but the team kept battling and kept working and eventually they overwhelmed Forest almost by force of will. Something to be said for that.

Played quite well but I was happy he got mugged off for the penalty. Can’t have ex-players coming back and having a lovely day out, even if Geordie.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a referee give every 50/50 to the same team. Some going.

Living legend.

Should have had about 7 free kicks.

I mean, there’s no reason we would send him unless we thought it was right for him, is there? He could easily withdraw.

Don’t know what’s happening with Hall but it’s a mint team.

The defence should be built around him, madness not to extend his contract.

That’s a few.

And Bradford a few days before that.
