Ross does hasn't a clue
I will send you a comma :). Meant nicely. These keyboooooooooards are not always reliable.
You supply your strikers to their strengths.

Using Grigg as a lone target man is a joke, might as well play him in goal FFS.

He’s a goal poacher, hardly rocket science.
It's pretty obvious isn't it? I really feel that our pressure as fans should be directed towards the playing management team, not the player.

Which doesn't excuse the player entirely by any means. He has missed goals that I could have wafted in with my cap, and hardly bothered to rev up to a trot when tempting balls have beckoned him. No excuse for that.

The more I see if him he actually looks worse.
Made a thread last year saying this aswell and got every excuse under the sun
f***ing useless would rather have kimpioka leading the line , or even someone out of the crowd
Obviously McNulty is in but gotta be worth a go . This Grigg bloke is totally pointless
He's that bad that Altigore and Graham were better.
 
Don't know why some people are desperate for him to fail. He'll hit 20 this season and silence the doubters.
 
An expensive con - not even a damp squib atm!

Well I am a doubter and will happily eat my words with lots of source if you are right.
 
He’s not a bad striker. His record in this league speaks for itself. Give him 2/3 chances a game and he’ll score. The problem is we barely give him a half chance.
 
He's had a fair few clear cut chances that he's casually spooned to be fair.
In the same game? He’s snapping at chances because he’s not getting any.

I’m not having a debate with anyone who thinks he’s a bad player at this level because they’re clearly wrong

I judge players based on what I see with my own eyes, not based on what they have or haven't done in the past as I know players do lose the plot and sometimes never recapture the form they once had. I'm yet to see anything from Grigg to suggest he's going to do it here. Maja was a different class and we lost him for half the amount we paid for Grigg. Maja was given the same service and had very little first team experience.

Agree about the chances, I think he gets so few that he snatches at the ones that come his way, knowing it might be the only chance he'll get. A good striker would be composed, like Maja was, but he's in league one for a reason. If we give create a few chances I expect he'd start taking them, he hasn't suddenly become a shit league one striker

You’re forgetting the fact that Maja is a better player than Grigg, IMO like.
 
Which begs the question...why did we throw £3m at Grigg? We'd have been better off had we offered Maja a £2m signing on fee.
I fully agree

All that being said still doesn’t make grigg a bad player though

My point exactly mate. Just worded better than me 😂😂

I hope you're right mage, I really do hope Grigg comes good, but based on what I've seen, I just can't see it working out. It's as if he's arrived with no confidence, he's struggled for goals and now he's at a point where he's not going to turn it around. Even in pre-season with the pressure off he looks as though he has little to offer.
 
Not Maja ffs. He didn't want to stay. Forget him. He ain't coming back.

You are right marra ,not having this service not good enough stuff.So we are saying we must change everything so all he has to do is blow it over the line .Look ive said this on here before but this fella cant head, dribble,run,close down ,or link play.So give Benji a go ,at least he at 19 can do some of those things

Agreed mate. I just don't see what he adds, I mean there doens't look as though there's anything there. The lad is not prolific, he doesn't shoot from outside the box, he struggles to win headers, he's not skillful and he doens't possess pace, which begs the question...what is he offering??? Yes Kimpioka is extremely raw, but at least you get some energy from him, he has pace, he's direct and he's unpredictable. Grigg was a defenders dream last season, immobile and unmotivated.
