    Increases the chances of him getting injured.

    Took his goal well I thought.

    Gives us a possible goal option off the bench at the business end of the season.

    After today, I think Gray might actually be a better option than Success as Success had a similar chance to Gray but mis-controlled the ball allowing the GK to block him off and generally was **** as well.

    Excellent well taken goal and unlucky at the end.

    Oddly enough I never thought he'd miss whereas before I never thought he'd score.

    Nothing more infuriating than a player who can't hit the target from 5 yards out sometimes yet other times can run from pretty much the halfway line and slot past the keeper.

    Keep the goals coming. With any luck, it’ll be enough to persuade somebody desperate he’s worth taking from us.

    Did anyone else here him say “ I should have had a hat trick “ coming off the pitch at the end of the game!

    It was Hungbo's fault for not passing him the ball when he chose to shoot. You could see his anger on his face. That's why shortly after Hungbo had to pass Gray the ball so he could bury it, sorry hit the keeper.

    Just for balance, he did take the goal he scored very well.

    Gray just about deserves his slot on the bench, as if we are desperate for a goal he might just about oblige as a late sub on his current unprecedented scoring form, though personally I still think Perica deserves the chance to fill that role.

    Yes he was peeved,although if he was a reflective sort of chap he may want to remember the numerous occasions he's blasted the ball into (insert VR or R of your choice) row Z or taken out a pigeon, preening happily on the roof of the particular stand.

    Dre has shown flashes of late so imo deserves his chance of the bench. He was stretching their backline which was good to see. His last couple of cameos has really impressed me.
     
  15. Teide1

    Teide1 Squad Player

    He has scored quite a few goals when he has a chance to run on, with the ball with no one other than the keeper! taking snap shots when under pressure is where he comes unstuck!
     
  16. Carpster

    Carpster Squad Player

    True. But in the last couple of games as sub he's picked up some great positions to score and really should of got a few more goals.
    Don't get me wrong I still think he's not good enough but he's proving his worth coming off the bench to stretch the oppositions defence late on.

    Not his biggest fan, and even when at his most 'dangerous' he's still very wasteful most of the time, but he does manage to get himself in the position to have a shot at least, and he has proved a decent option at seeing out games like at Blackburn

    Hopefully he's through the worst of whatever epic mental block he had against scoring for the past year or two. Will be very pleased if he can chip in with a few breakaway goals off the bench in the remaining fixtures, just like yesterday. Would make it easier to offload him when we go up too

    Seems he got an assist for Jamaica tonight. Worth watching just to laugh at the failed drag back and the awful USA defending.

    It wasn’t bad play to be fair. Nutmegged the defender to play in Lowe.

    Waste of everyone's time, get him gone. It'll probably have to be a loan where we cover the majority of his wages but I don't care, tell his agent to find him a new club and get this woeful footballer out of the club for good.

    Do you think we could send him to Udinese to use up an 'IOU' spot, until they realise how **** he is?

    The problem is everyone knows how terrible he is now. Even opposition fans. He really is a massive millstone. His form has gone down faster than the proverbial this or that. He brings very little to the table on the pitch in the Chumpionship as we saw yesterday when asked to lead the line. God knows they will have to invent a negative rating if he plays in the PL.

    My big concern is that he starts against Swansea , scores a hat-trick and we see him trudging out onto the pitch first game next season, then because of this , 6 games in, no goals from AG , 1 point amassed, and Manutleisure giving someone else some clog desperately trying to deflect away from Andre .

    Only one year to go. After 42 pages of negative comments on this mans footballing ability, will we all be proved wrong at the end?

    Like a reverse Line of Duty that started brilliantly and petered out to rubbish. Could Gray have a golden final season with us?

    It’s just not going to happen is it.

    Of course not. He's worse than hopeless.

    I am reading the recent stick. In his defence, out of Success, Pedro, Gray he is the only striker who has scored since February.

    I cannot however argue with people who don't want him here next season, neither do I. We need upgrades in various positions.

    That’s a good point. After all the Titanic only sank on the fifth day of its voyage. Every set of circumstances has a bright side, you just need to go deep to find it.

    Please don't make comparisons with Gray and Pedro. He's 19 and has so much promise. Second highest scorer and will go onto be a massive player for us. Yes he's looked jaded but it's not unexpected from a teenager. Could you honestly see Gray playing in the pass for Gosling at Norwich for instance?
    Again Gray and his pathetic excuse of a first touch ruined an opportunity for him. He will just get worse as the seasons pass as Pedro will only get better.
