Didn't think he'd play Mitro and Gayle but thought Mitro would start here, and Gayle away.

Would love to see him and Gayle start vs Forest. Doubt Rafa will though.

We were awful. Felt like we should have put Mitro on early in 2nd half (with Gayle) as it was obvious we were creating fuck all. Thought Sheff Wed played well - looked a decent side.

The case sounds weak. "Smelly Breath" could easily be mis-heard in a big stadium in SJP. Shelvey shouldn't have reacted but I'm glad at least we can plan for the next 5 games. Rafa will look after Shelvey. As long as he's listening to Rafa - he'll be a key player for us. Tbf I was sat front row, in home end at Leeds as when he came to take a corner - he was getting some absolutely stinking abuse from their fans. Visiting supporters gave him loads of shit. He just needs to stay focused when he comes back.

Wonder if we might go 4-4-2 and go with Mitro up top, or keep same formation and bring Anita or Tiote in (if Colback still injured).

Damming stats there

If there is no video of the incident, and Shelvey denies saying owt racist, just seems weird he's been charged.

9 wins so far is class like (should be 10). We just get the job done away. I think the formation works well away, we're quite solid and we're always going to get a goal.

Watched the Norwich/Villa game at gym. Villa are still pretty tame away.

Just saw Sammy's goal. Class strike like.

Apart from the debut penalty he's been flawless whenever I've seen him. Just hope it's not a case of finding his level. Hopefully, we'll get promoted and I'm really interested to see how Clark does. When we bought him, I felt proper "Meh" about the signing but he's been fantastic. I think Rafa's coaching can help him improve further. Again lower level, his positioning has impressed. Seems aware of danger pretty quickly.

His touch has been very good this season, he contributes in both defence and attack. Tbh I've fairly happy with our full back depth atm.

Been consistent this season. I think Rafa will be satisfied with him, most likely new contract.

Very good win. Really happy. Can enjoy the boxing PPV and MOTD tonight.

Because if they won, they'd be 3 points behind us. Not hard to understand.

The Reading result has calmed me down a bit from last night.

I'll never forget how angry I was against Villa at home, in 99 I think. Uriah Rennie sending off Shearer. 13 year old me was fucking fuming. Tonight, I'm ever more pissed off. Like 3-4 massive decisions, completely screwed us over. Snide ref.

Honestly worst ref I've ever seen in Toon game.

Wor lass is not back until 10pm so just screaming the flat down there. Sorry downstairs flat

Get the fuck in!

OMG. Getting zero decisions here. Stinking.

Fuck off Ref. Getting fucking snided here.

Such a soft red. FFS man.

Bad feeling about this game.

Surprised Mitro isn't playing like.
