Steve Bruce’s recall of Martin Dubravka has won praise, while his persistence with Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton has not.

Here’s how #NUFC Twitter reacted to today’s team news...

@geesingh7 – “Traore will destroy Lewis!”

@ChrisPage_Boz – “Called it a few weeks ago now. Absolutely nothing against Darlow at all. The lad has been phenomenal and had a brilliant season. However, Dubravka is IMO the better keeper, the club no1 and a leader on the pitch. He simply had to come back in.”

@JonnyD400 – “Can’t wait to see Shelvey run his heart out...”

@TOONYWOONY11 – “Made up to see Dubravka’s name back there, worried about Krafth tbh and didn’t Really want Joelinton to start. But onwards and hopefully upwards. Three points would be great.”

@MrBics – “What has Krafts got on Bruce?? Would he mind sharing it??”

@NeilHindson – “Another evening looking forward to Joelinton lumbering around trying to pick up a niggle so he can come off and Shelvey wading through treacle.”
