Gray`s disallowed goal was not a clear push on Clark(?) in my opinion. was some finish if it had stood |

I agree Tarbs. Looked intentional and he didn't even get a yellow. Not sure we even got a foul awarded? we got a throw in. i've not seen the highlights but from my seat in MU block it looked like "one of those things" and a complete accident rather than a foul |

I thought Clarke made a meal of it and it was a soft one. Great finish though.
Reckon Gray is quality but needs more service.

Anyone know which game he is back for? Reggaeboys have their last game in this set of fixtures in about 24h, so he should be available for Boro. Cup game this Saturday, while theoretically possible, would probably be a stretch. |

What is up with this guy's fitness?
Scoring record decent but has only played 13 games all season.

Not the right attitude me thinks. Not a problem with his fitness.

Dont think there is anything wrong with his attitude. I’ve seen this said before but unsure what the statement is based upon
He’s thick as thieves with Austin so if he’s got bad attitude I would say same applies to Austin
He’s played with Warburton before so if he was a bad apple cant see he would have signed him again
Personally think he’s kind of the other option player. We know Warburton likes the big man up top, that’s dykes, and that’s his go to formation/plan so Gray gets in when there is a switch up. I think we’re under using him myself and given run of games he would collect goals

The issue with Gray if he is more likely than most to score if given a chance - but if he isn't scoring he might as well not be there. The number of times he touches the ball is very low (though not as low as the sulking Lukaku - was reading that in a recent Chelsea match he touched the ball 7 times, and one of those was kick off...)

Give someone else a chance I say. I think gray works harder then he’s given credit but if the choice is of two people who allegedly both do nothing playing upfront I would opt for the one who might put a chance away then the one who can’t hit a cows arse with a banjo |

As I say, he's barely had a look in. Played 13 games all season. His scoring record is 1 in 3 though - the best of all our attackers. That's what's hard to fathom.

Am not really disagreeing with Stanley or Acton, would be happy to see him given a chance as all our strikers have their drawbacks.
But my point has always been we as fans keep focusing on "if only we played x player rather than y it would make the difference". For me its much more about how we play than who we play. If we play ten yards further up the pitch and hit forward balls then great. If we tap it around the centre circle between the three centre halves we might as well have Harry Kayne up front because he ain't going to get any balls he can work with. When we do go for it - even with 10 men in brief moments last night - we look decent. When we go into "take care of the football" mode we sometimes look like a bunch of pensioners playing walking football.

I have noticed that Gray often wants through balls but more often than not none actually come his way, and on the occations that he gets them he is often in a offside position. I should believe timing seems to be the issue here. Chair is probably a player who should time his passes better imo. Johansen also. etc.etc.

The number of times he touches the ball is very low (though not as low as the sulking Lukaku - was reading that in a recent Chelsea match he touched the ball 7 times, and one of those was kick off...) I'd say Gray is our best striker and holds the ball up best. I've said before that our build up is always about going wife whereas Gray makes numerous runs in behind and doesn't get any service. Look at his goal vs Cardiff for example. |

Can't imagine he is feeling too up for the fight after being left on the bench for the last 2 games whilst we play without a striker.
Must be demoralising and embarrassing.

I bet he feels a bit like Jesus of City. Seeing non-forwards being picked before him. Is Warburton styling us like Man. City? Playing from the back and using faux forwards. A word in your shell-like Mark. We are more Bradford City than Man. City
