SmogDane 4,057 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 It all started in the premier .. Forshaw played well in a few games and Clayton was the max defensive one of the two... He never changed back from that .. Sideways and backwards... Forshaw turned (via the Forshaw spin) into the exact same defensive ***e... Link to post Share on other sites
Motor Mouth 255 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 My lad Daniel was in London mid evening last night and bumped into Adam Clayton and Johnny Howson both wearing MFC tracksuits and in the company of a couple of WBA players again in tracksuits and they were attending some sort of awards evening, Clayton mentioned Pulis was also at the same venue. However this is the ironic part both Clayton and Howson stated that the team was going to do it's utmost to ensure victory in the last 2 games as they have not given up on the playoffs. I mentioned to Dan that the intent was good but how much better it would be if Clayton was not playing! I believe we have to attack as never before if those comments can come to pass Clayton was good up until the last game. Lay off him DS! No he hasn’t. He offers nothing. Has become a standard championship midfielder with very little impact. I feel Clayton has had little impact on Boro games all season. This is not down to him before Pulis arrived we were seeing him in a more attacking role and he and Leadbitter were producing the goods for the forwards. Now he plays the ball square and back which obviously is the orders from Pulis. Perhaps next season if Pulis is gone we may see Clayton start producing again,if he can get out of the habit's that Pulis as installed in him that is. Then why does Pulis constantly shout at him to get forward during games? Well for what I have seen Clayton is cocking a deaf un and not taking a blind bit of notice of Pulis if that is the case. :) Link to post Share on other sites

Clayton in a more attacking role is like a duck out of water, I can't remember the last time Clayton had a shot on target let alone scored, or created anything in midfield. When Clayton has the ball he's looking for a CB rather than the player in front of him. Clayton's been a good signing but like a few more in this squad he's had his time here, time for him to move on. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 It's not Clayton's fault the dinosaur chooses to play 3 CDMs. As the single anchor in the midfield he's fine... just not as good as Mikel. In any normal team that means he drops to the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

boroinbishop 65 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 I heard a couple of weeks ago that he was back training but thought it was a bit soon, hopefully he has fully recovered and isn't being rushed back into it. Link to post Share on other sites
