Open your eyes man. Grigg is playing absolute dogshit. I don't care what he's done in the past if he's not doing it now.
How many do you think Quinn or Philips would of scored with no wingers ??? I’ll simplify it for you . Can guarantee any striker we play will struggle to score your basically expecting strikers to make chances for themselves grigg isn’t s skilful player like that
 
Personnel?

There might be some Wigan fan who can put me right but it looks as though they usually set up in a 4-2-3-1 during their promotion season, usually with Grigg the lone striker (looks like he played deeper in midfield on occasion too).

That suggests to me we need McGeady, Maguire, and another in that 3 behind him. Power has played there and had 6 assists in their promotion season. However, I'd be concerned about the lack of legs in the two behind if he were to play there, not to mention McGeady and Maguire's defensive contributions, or lack thereof. So to me Power is in the holding two, and our best other option alongside him is Leadbitter. Can McNulty fill that role behind Grigg? Has he the workrate to assist with Power and Leadbitter? I don't know. I keep hearing about Embleton - maybe he could step into the role. Ross undoubtedly would stick Honeyman in there, which to me is a waste of fuckin' time. Perhaps a more sensible suggestion would be to play Maguire in the centre of that 3 and Gooch on the right - at least he'll give you the work rate. And despite a very poor second half of the season, he does know where the goal is and his runs cutting inside can be useful, he just really needs to get his head up more and look after the ball better.

In all, we could use 1 or 2 better midfielders than we have at present.

All of that of course is by the by if Ross is to persist with some variant of a 3-5-2.

For me one of the main reasons our strikers struggle is because all our players want to cut inside instead of playing early balls
Who cares if Grigg never played against Hartlepool - he hasn’t scored in pre-season at all. He didn’t even score against Shields.

Clearly you don’t need the “Brazilian Ronaldo” as we scored 5 with it yesterday.
Nobody scored !!!!! Not one player !!! Are they all shite ????

:lol: They aren't even getting in the right positions or making it remotely difficult for the defenders. If they need the ball on a plate, what use are they? The excuses on here are fantastic at times.

"But but if tha not gerrin the ball two yards away from tha open net how do ya expect em to score"?

Give over man, they've been embarrassingly bad, especially Grigg.
 
To start on sat id go with:-

----------------Big Mac------------------
---Little Mac---Willis--- Flanagan----
O'Nien----McGeogh--Dobson--Hume-
--------Embleton----McGeady---------
---------------McNulty-------------------

If Maguire's knock is nowt serious, then maybe him for embleton. Let the front 3 get used to each each. Gan drop Grigg off the bridge. Be tempted to squeeze Ozturk in for Flanagan n all
Not so keen on O9 at RWB mind. But we seem a little thin in both wingback positions.

You don’t know What they have been instructed to do if they are running about like blue arse flies they aren’t gonna be central when we win the ball back people said exactly this with maja even when he was scoring calling him lazy etc when you have 5 bodies in midfield including the wingbacks you want your striker in and around the box not charging about all over the pitch
The service is awful man a blind man can see it balls rammed down their throats neck height with back to goal or slow ponderous passes into feet

Wingbacks for me is not suitable for this standard of football he’s over complicating things for limited players
451 mcgeady number 10 free role left footer on the left right footer on the right it’s really not difficult

Spurs thought that about Rose, Boro about Downing, one hat trick doesn't make a summer, but ye knaa the crack...
they were young players satarting put..mcnulty is in his prime.and was on loan last season and scored a load of goals..and they still didnt want him back..
I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that the conference is closer to our standard than the Eredivisie.

General standard of football in league one is not great.
general sptandard of football in the lower half of the dutch league is not great..
