Its well known that Rio Ferdinand did as well. As did Chris Brunt.
Brunt was an academy player for 2 years.

Have we ever let a youngster go and then thought 'Wow, that was a mistake!'? James Morrison was probably the biggest, maybe Lee Cattermole for what we replaced him with? Letting Chris Smalling go back down south before he joined Man Utd for millions? But apart from that I think the club have been pretty good at letting academy go
Chris Smalling was never in our academy though, so it isn't the same.

He's playing as a striker tonight, and Warnock wants him at CB. The guy is the ultimate utility player haha
He's basically Clayton Blackmore Mark 2.

I wouldn't worry/judge Britt on Friday's game.
Back end of 19/20 season Britt played 8 games under Warnock and scored 5 (1 Pen).
Form is temporary.

LINKED (RANDOM DOYLE):
Ross Stewart (Ross County)
Nat Phillips (Liverpool)I know he has only been linked by "Random Doyle' but I'd love Nathanial Phillips here, based only on the fact that I think his dad was a very good full-back [for us] and if he was anywhere near as good we'd have a decent player on our hands.

Lol guess everyone knows my Barnsley player now and a bit late for preparing a bid.
Brighton and Palace can certainly offer him more money, but he might think he has a chance of more game time with us. #optimism

Seriously I wouldn't get your hopes up for a LB. NW absolutely loves Johnson.
God knows why.

Good team. Shocking bench though
No Coulson at all. Is he injured? The bench is very young.

You would hope his dad could put in a good word if we were interested.

As I've said, I'm not a fan of Warnock, so I have no reason to defend him or his (perceived) choices. I just think it defies logic to suggest he'd want to play 4-3-3 with the players at his disposal and the market as it is. Even 4-2-3-1 would be far more likely, as at QPR and Cardiff.
What, in your opinion, is the difference between 433 and 4231?

In that interview he praised Folarin and intimated that we would play 352, is that right? Where would Folarin play in that formation?

Guys. The club is a hobby to SG. Not the best run. But not the worst as we are still here.
Expect nothing more than mid table and the frustration disappears.
Meditate on that. 😌The key to happiness = low expectations.

4) Britt. This league has showed many times over the years if a striker can produce over 20 goals in a decent team that's an edge that can lift a whole team up a division, Britt was bought on this premise and while he's returned decent figures if he can have an extra gear this year and stay fit he could be a difference maker.
Britt has never scored more than 15 goals in a season in the Championship. He has scored more than 15 in a season once in his career, in League One.

Spence was wearing 19 and Walker 20 in the pics so don't think either started.
Spence definitely started - The Boro striker then headed over from Djed Spence’s cross, but was on target after just seven minutes when he outmuscled his marker and coolly slotted away.
-
Which team and formation?
--------------------------------Stoj
--------------Stubbs ------ Hall ---- Fry
Spence -----Howson - Liddle - Coulson
-------------------------Tavernier
-----------------Fletcher - Assombalonga
Pears - Dijksteel - Wood - Malley - Johnson - Wing - Walker
Will we sign anymore players before kick off? (lol)No
Will Changing Times continue his nice boy streak?
Who?
Can we win?
Yes.
How far can we go in this cup?
We can beat this team, that's as far as I am willing to predict.

Why would the club be on a better financial footing in 12 months time? We should have just appointed this new manager now if that's what we wanted to do, but clearly it isn't.
I think he was saying that supporters will be back at matches by then, so the club will have the extra income from fans attending matches.

It was a reference to Alan Hansen. 1995. Maybe you're both too young. Modern references for the kids of today and all that.

seen alot of post of people saying "dont worry most clubs arnt signing people", here the problem with that. we have the joint smallest squad in the championship, only level with wycombe, and heres why our situation is worse, of the 20 players in the squad, 9 are 22 years old or younger. in fact were the 3rd youngest squad in the championship.
So were not only the smallest squad in the league, but also one of the youngest, add to this the fact we barely survived relegation last season and were one of the lowest scoring teams. we've lost 9 players who were in an around the first team and brought in one. From my prospective the outlook is pretty worrying.
finally, all though i agree all clubs are in the same situation and struggling in the market currently,, the situation and set up differs from club to club, and i dont think theres a club in the league in worse situation than Middlesbrough right now, couple this with our poor track record of signings over the last few seasons and i see no cause for optimism.You never win anything with kids.
