No Ritchie or Clark Both include Shelvey and Gayle. I think Shelvey was good first half of the season. But Ritchie has stepped up with plenty of goals and works his arse off all over the pitch.

Gouffran with a massive Fred Perry tatt

Shelveys corners were wank tonight.

Mitro playing the pissed yob well.

Prestons game plan sit back soak it up and launch it. They will need to come out a bit second half. Can see us scoring again.

Pick your player/players of the season. 2 votes in case its a tough choice.

Would hope we might take a punt on Tomas Kalas. Noticed Fulham have him this season and are close to promotion. Last season he was with Boro. Would be a nice back up or push others in first team.

Didnt realise Rooney was younger than Ronaldo. Only 31.

Great news promotion. As much as i hate Villa i will be pleased if they do us a favour on the final game. And as long as we win all ours. ?

Jacob Murphy has 10 goals and 6 assists for Norwich. Could be worth a chance, with Norwich staying in the Championship

Rafa is a patient man. But the nature of that equaliser against Leeds will have driven him fucking spare. Maybe he decided to give it both barrels, though that's not his style. Usually he cuts players dead who won't learn or won't do a job. Maybe that's why Mitro was benched? Bizarrely Jack Colback can bypass this treatment then. One of the pitfalls in our drop in form along with losing the stability of Clark.

We are pretty much promoted with a win here. Id like to think given the dreadful run of late we might just go for the kill. Give the fans a break from worries. The title is gone but to know promotion is sealed will be a massive weight off everyone's shoulders. Btw when is Rolando Aarons fit and available? Wasn't he supposed to be back close to the end of season

Just seen Abrahams goal today vs Blackburn

Yes he should of been backed but let's not forget he has spent 50 million which is crazy amount for the Championship. The problem is the formation, team selection and tactics are not right and have not been for months so yes criticism and questioning are justified. We sold all our best players and walked away with a 30 million profit. Imagine where we would be if we didn't replace anyone. And he still spent 50 million to replace them which by Championship standards is unreal so your point is? I give up. http://il3.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/11544743/thumb/1.jpg?i10c=img.resize(height:160)

Utter crap the spending in January excuses. Townsend would not have dropped down. And Fat Sam didnt want to lose any players. Need to stop the poor excuses. We should have been coping well with this squad. Worse case scenario recall some loan players that we sent out.

Im never sure whats so hard about picking the best players and changing the set up. Instead of keeping the set up and forcing players to play positons they are useless in?

Rafa doesnt do gung ho football. 1 up top predictable line up only and forever. Will be very interesting to see how that formation lasts in the prem,if we go up?

So predictable.

Just play Murphy instead of Mitrovic. Ex players always bag against their old sides. And stop playing Ayoze as a 10. Should win.

Totally agree. It's actually no wonder our fans get a bad name the way some of our lot go on. We've somehow managed to get Rafa Benitez as our manager IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP yet some dim c***s seem hell-bent on slating him. Bring back Pardew eh? Fucken tits. Is anyone slating him ? Some, I'm one, thinks he gets some things wrong. On the other hand some think he is incapable of erring. People losing their shit if any negative words are said against Rafa.

Hope Hughton gets it, to go with his promotion in second place. You belive they will finish behind us still? I cant see it now to be fair. Since we beat them we have thrown points down the drain only for them to sit above us again.

Think manager of the season should go to Hughton or Wagner. Rafa should have pissed this league but has been to negative with his formation.

He made some great tackles and played the position well. Also put some good passes in right after important tackles to keep things flowing. Was one of the best performers in an unfortunate result.

Rafa gets subs more right than wrong, and sometimes they work fantastically well. But they didn't tonight. Was he asked about taking Hayden off after the match? I had my doubts as soon as Colback came on. I cant pin all the blame on that sub,because we didnt take all the chances we should have finished. As much as Rafa does and gets things spot on, he continues to use players ineffective, and that is down to his stubborn formation. He hopes what is at his disposal will adapt, but its not always that simple. It is obvious to see though that we do miss Clark and the threat of Dwight Gayle. Mitrovic is just not a threat at this level or higher. I defended him in the early season but he's just far to slow.
