Some helpless defenders and hapless goalies there, but ... quick reactions, goal lagging, aggressive, variety of goals from; head, lobbing, power shots and some nice dribbling, confident penalty taker ... risking pelters if I say a bit of the Defoe about him but what the hell ... a bit of the Defoe about himGoing off YouTube videos alone he looks miles better than Shankland.
Watmore is the fastest player in the treatment room.why? wat,ore is fast..thats your pace ight there?
is embleton fast?
I seem to recall the self same thing, the finishing of both of them was really poorSeem to remember both Wyke and Grigg missing some absolute sitters last season , did nobody create those chances ?
I reckon we signed Grigg cos of his name. "Marquee" type signing if you will. Good song, good PR - unless of course it turns out he cannot hit a barn fuckin' door from 3 ft away....I think most are probably in that boat if they're being honest. I'd heard of him, and knew he was a striker (he's been about a bit, played for Scotland so I'd heard his name which is more than I can say about the other signings we've made and 2 of them were in our league last season!), but that's about it. I think he sounds promising because of some of the things that have been written about him, and I'm glad he seems to want to be here and will graft (I'd have been anxious about Marquis) but like everyone else we've signed we need to wait and see really
I'm sure it was nothing to do with his goal scoring record in league 1...I reckon we signed Grigg cos of his name. "Marquee" type signing if you will. Good song, good PR - unless of course it turns out he cannot hit a barn fuckin' door from 3 ft away....
That would be far too sensible. We are Sunderland remember.I'm sure it was nothing to do with his goal scoring record in league 1...
I believe (I hope) he'll come good this season.That would be far too sensible. We are Sunderland remember.
It's what I'm pinning most of my hopes on to be honest.I believe (I hope) he'll come good this season.
also seem to remember plenty games where no chances were created at all which isn't good enough for a team that is supposed to be fighting for automatic promotion is it?Seem to remember both Wyke and Grigg missing some absolute sitters last season , did nobody create those chances ?
Another ex Coventry city player
Was useless when we first signed him. Many started calling him McWankty. But suddenly he started scoring all the time. Certainly seems a confidence striker. Our supporters are split on him. He has had two good seasons. One with us and one with Hibs. Division 4 and Scotland. Has failed a couple of times in Division 3 before. But as we saw he knows where the back of the net is.
We signed him for nothing and got a decent price for him from Reading. He got the goals so deserved the chance.
It will be interesting to see which player you get. The scorer or the failed striker. How can someone score so many goals but never manage just one more level up? Maybe he needs games before he hits form. But would your support be on his back before he hits form like he did with us?

I reckon we signed him because JR had heard of him..and JR hadnt heard of many players at this level..I reckon we signed Grigg cos of his name. "Marquee" type signing if you will. Good song, good PR - unless of course it turns out he cannot hit a barn fuckin' door from 3 ft away....
Well spotted lad “still haven’t replaced McNulty”
Slightly different opinion than you had last summer before he was sold:
“McNulty, if we manage to keep him will score lots of goals.“
Touch of sour grapes?
