He got a good farewell.  Never been his biggest fan nor a massive critic, canny servant and pleased he's had a decent send off the neet. 

 

Wish him well. 


Not his biggest fan either, but deserves credit for making the effort tonight.

There was a sentimental part of me that likes having one of the promotion lads in and around the team. We've still got Ritchie and Lascelles, but Shelvey, while not a starter, was the only one left that I thought might play some significant role (e.g. if Bruno were to be out..)

He's been very up and down for us, but there's no doubt that he played his part in us being where we were are now. Both in the Championship season, and the second half of last year, he was arguably one of our most important players.

Right, just watched Sean Longstaff walk into the dressing room on tele after getting his MotM award.........is that Jon Jo on the left? 

 

 

 

Edit ..aye it is....just mentioned.

I previously admitted to being so-so on Jonjo, not in a bad way. 

 

But the manner in which he's left the club has put him up a few levels in head. Not very often you get a player leave these days and feel like they 'got it'. But it seems he really did us as a fanbase and as a club.

It must be grim for Jonjo to be in that dressing room tonight and then heading back down to Forest after it. The lad clearly has a spot for us now forever, he’ll always deserve a warm welcome back at SJP.

Aarrghh..didn't think I'll be emotional about him leaving. But seeing him on the SJP pitch one last time, then that message he wrote, especially having Geordie-born kids, welled me up a bit. Hope he does well over there and he won't be a player booed back here for sure.

Brilliant message. When the takeover first happened there was some interview where Jonjo basically said "I know the club will outgrow us soon but I want to be here for the start of the revival" - thought that was brilliant at the time and glad he got to have some involvement in a year of us being absolutely mint. Hope he smashes it at Forest and gets a bajillion assists for Wood :aww:

Yeah, happy for him. He was probably not gonna stay beyond this season anyway. 
Personally would have liked to keep him for the reminder of the season. But he wanted to move on, so I get that and all. 
Good memories, though!

Would that not assume that Wood has to finish something? [emoji38]

His scoring record prior to joining us suggests he’s able to finish chances - I’d be willing to bet his issue here was a confidence thing (massive crowds and biggest team of his career) - the few times he had instinctive chances without time to overthink like against Southampton he actually finished quite well.

 

Anyway, wish him and Jonjo well, they both put the effort in and deserve respect for that.

“I’m not thick. I know this club is going to evolve and go only one way. But while I’m here, I just need to keep progressing, get the manager to get the best out of me & me repay that with performances. Hopefully I can be here for a good few years. I want to show the club that I warrant a couple more years."

 

Really like Shelvey, he's played an important part of the team over the last 7 years and I wish him all the best at Forest

Basically this. It was nice to see him at the ground yesterday and joining in with the rest of the lads celebrations. Shows what a great place this can be to play your football, although that's tempered slightly knowing that he would happily have played here for the rest of his career under Bruce as well.

He had his moments. Good luck to him at Forest.

 

Never the greatest, but had a decent pass every other game or four. Got stick for being a lazy so and so out of possession and not 'cos of his looks...We've had a fair few other bald loons that didn't get stick for it...(Ketsbaia, Sibierski)
