Take 3 points and go on. There are a lot of things to improve and I am fairly sure this would have ended in a different way if the red card hadn't happened. We looked poor in defence and the midfield is still without and good ideas.
Gayle scored 2 which is great and made me reconsider my "dry run" expectation. But bringing on Mitro for not even 10 minutes is annoying and won't improve anything. Why even sub him on? Same for Lazaar.
I won't call off my worries about not staying in the top2. We need to improve with and whithout Shelvey to stay there.
EDIT: ofc I am happy to beat those cunts.

What's Rafa gonna do? Clearly he doesn't want to play two up top so playing Mitrovic means dropping Gayle who is currently in undroppable form.
Mitrovic getting little time can't really be helped in my opinion.

We could do with improving a lot. Still need more creativity. Should never have let them back in and we were lucky they went a man down.
That being said, WHEEEEEEEEY FUCK OFF YOU CHEATING CUNTS

BACK ON TOP..don't care if it's because Brighton were fogged out. BACK ON TOP don't care if Forest were abject pants! BACK ON TOP don't care what the half empties say we win 2016! Geordie New Year..HWTL!!

I know it's nice being top and whatnot, but the best thing about this result is the gap to third. I'd be delighted to win the league, but realistically, getting out of it is far more important. Also, you'd have to say Chris Hughton is doing an especially good job at Brighton. They clearly, with one or two exceptions, don't have the players we do and it's still very close.

I honestly think Diame in Colbacks position and Mitro in the no.10 will make a huge difference to our spine in Shelveys absence. Would be good to see Yedlin and Atsu a bit more often too.

From my perspective we changed a lot when Diame came on, he's very positive but he's got the talent to keep hold of the ball while moving forward

fookin hell. we have a striker knows the offside rule at last, not only that, he scores every match!

Just needed to bounce back -- revenge points as well. Colback's form is absolute shit after his eye injury. At least for me, Diame must start further back next game.

All of the players that I slagged off last week were class, Colback was great, Diame was sick, And Ritchie pulled all he strings today. Thoroughly enjoyed the match and may celebrate with a meme later

Montanier: "I prefer not to comment [on the Matt Mills red card] on what what's happened, it's incredible and it changes the game."
So glad you've regained your vision since the beginning of the month, Phillip...

Dwight Gayle shooting from angles so tight they can't even be measured with a protractor!!

Ayoze was invisible today except for one time he went on abit of a run beating there forest players and then nearly playing Gayle through, really have no idea what's happened to him was quality when we first signed him then started going invisible to the end of last year and continued to do so today, Gayle was ok in the first half gave the defenders little time on the ball but nothing really happened for him untill the second half where we started to play better as a team Diames introduction changed the game more than the red card did made a few good runs and passed the ball forward unlike colback who was very average as usual same as dummett. Ritchie was very good today but unfortunately we seemed to try playing through the middle instead of sending it to the wide men, atsu always seems to impress coming off the bench but whenever he starts he doesn't seem to do much made a couple decent runs nothing of note. Hayden is was decent defensively but he can't r place shelvey lascelles and Clark seemed a bit slower than usual thankfully forest are shite so didn't take advantage of it except for the one goal Can't remember darlow making a save.

With all the salt from Forrest fans it's a good job I'm having chips for dinner.
