'Never expected that!': Middlesbrough fans reacted as Yannick Bolasie and Darnell Fisher are handed debuts at Norwich City

Warnock has made four changes to the side which started Boro’s 3-0 defeat by Rotherham last time out, with Dael Fry returning from injury and Marvin Johnson coming into the side.

Here’s how some fans reacted to the team news on social media:

@JonnyBullock1: Looks to me like Bolasie is going to be a false 9. Interesting.

@jakemmfc: Would never have expected that team! Good news I suppose is neither will Norwich! Very glad to see Fry back and excited to see how the new lads get on!

@Smithy_MFC84: Make of that what you will, but that’s an experimental line up! Bolasie straight in up top it looks, with Spence pushed up (prefer him further up the field). Great to see Fisher in from the start too, sure he’ll slot in seamlessly.

@jackallison34: Bolasie and Fisher straight in with Dael back. This is the content you love to see

@SuddenD08826073: Wow Bolasie in, I wouldn't have thought he was ready yet.

@tom_mcgarry17: Look at that bench. Huge statement selecting Bolasie over all of our strikers, it’ll be interesting to see how long he lasts. The pace on the counter is going to be vital, nothing to lose today. Massive boost having Fry back

@MikeyHobson3: No messing from Neil, quality. Let’s get into them then Boro

@turnergeorge99: Bolasie upfront excites me a lot. Let’s hope we can feed him
