That's largely because the better strikers move on to the Premier League before they get the chance. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Dan_Boro_Till_I_Die 1,181 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Well when he misses a chance he smiles and laughs so it doesn't matter what he does 😉 Link to post Share on other sites

I dont like him as a player as you can tell, but I hope he proves me wrong and scores to win us the game today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Did I say it does? Simply pointing out a fact. He hasn't been worth 15mil but he's not been absolutely useless either, even in very negative teams playing not to his strengths, and is still worth a decent amount for clubs at this level.

scottpilgrim 28 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 He has been a dreadful signing. Huge fee, moderate goal return, and half arsed attitude. His and the other waste of money Fletchers wages are why we are still shopping in the bargain bin. Wells cost 5m, Grabban cost 6m. Two players who Britt cant lace the boots of and still had change.

ManBearPig 1,853 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 In Britt’s defence, he has been played on his own under Pulis for a season and a half and in a Woodgate car crash. He has missed some sitters but I’d argue and say has he really been played in his preferred position (with a partner) with a creative midfield behind him? He has his limitations of course, and I personally think we paid too much for him anyway (post ACL), but he has been okay. He doesn’t warrant the 15m price tag and his performances have been iffy, but I think he hasn’t exactly been getting regular service for him to net more. Hopefully he scores today because I do like him and I think if he was to move on it would add some resale value to him. Id take 7-8m from a Norwich for example. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,631 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I'd be happy for him to score a hatful. Two hat-tricks in the next two games, but we need to sell him if possible. Link to post Share on other sites
TAPOUT 361 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 You have to build a team for Britt, whereas most managers now prefer the centreforward to play for the team. If Warnock can get the team to provide him with 4 or 5 chances a game he will probably score one. Our team can't do that at present. If he had cost us £5m I would still have been disappointed with his contribution up to now. We can all say how good he might be if he is played in a certain formation but that is meaningless if the manager does not play that way. A player who is living on his reputation from years ago when football wasn't as technical as it is now. Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I would dearly love a point today. That would (I think) guarantee safety for us. I really don't want it to go to the last game, because I'm concerned that we would fall apart under the pressure whilst other teams would rise to the occasion. Link to post Share on other sites

Brunners 7,982 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I still remember a game vs Cardiff in the Mogga years when Cardiff were chasing promotion and then we beat them 3-0 and derailed their season. Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamRed 2,047 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Britt does well when he has the ball player through so he can run in behind. At Boro the magority of the time he's had the ball huffed up to him and he's expected to head it which he can't do well. Link to post Share on other sites
