Who said his legs have gone?
me. Every time I see him run .
He’s been a great pro and I wish him well.

Life shake-up that football can bring is no joke? Meanwhile in the real world of the masses...
I realise things are all relative but come on... They'll be fine for brass.
Good God, I hope he leaves.
One goal in 200 games for Boro, and that was because of a huge deflection. Meanwhile he's collected yellow cards like confetti. He's just another defender, and not a good one, who gets in the way of the centre halves.
Whoever is manager next season needs work out how to get the team scoring goals. Clayton is part of the problem, not part of the answer.

I think it's easy to forget that he did actually offer that bit more when he first signed,especially in the play off season. Nothing spectacular i don't mean, but when you watch some of the highlights it's noticeable what a much more mobile player he was then, and actually had a decent delivery on him at times. Those two seasons he was brilliant at reading the game and sniffing out danger but unfortunately he's lost that ability/mobility to do the same job as effectively.Strange one Clayton, obviously was a key player in our promotion and play off season and to me he is one of those players who seems better when he is not in the team! I get that he has generally played as a defensive midfielder, but I am old fashioned and expect a bit more from my midfielders - maybe a handful of goals and being able to create sometimes.
I have to say I couldn't agree less.
Those three should be moved on.
I get where you are coming from Indeedido, In an ideal world I’d chase much of the entire squad, but given the huge turnover we are already having and given a lack of resources, I don’t believe we can simply afford to rip up the squad totally and start again. If we could, I would keep Howson, Tav, Spence and Coulson, possibly Djiksteel. I would happily sell Britt, Fletch, Saville, McNair, Pears, Wing, Fry, If we could be assured of better replacements and let the rest leave if out of contract. It just isn’t realistic to do all that in one go for me. I think we have a 2 or 3 year rebuilding job and not all incomings will be hits. With the squad as it is we need to keep some of it, even if they are to warm the bench. We need pace, creativity, leadership in all areas.
Whatever happens, I trust Warnock's judgement to get far more right than wrong, I can’t fault the effort on Tuesday of anyone that played, as I know you wouldn’t either. Lets hope the club finally has an excellent window for once though
