Hoof_It_Nev Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Wild theory - Gray hasn't been playing because Dyche has been training him up to be a striker. It's not the maddest idea seeing as he's our top scorer. Square pegs in round holes etc but anything is worth a try at this stage surely.

If Dyche isn't going to play Simms as a target man, and Maupay offers nothing, maybe he should look at a way of getting Gray in the box by playing him at CF. Simplify his game. Shoot on sight. Not a wild theory. I thought it the week before and totally agree with you - it worked, as well. Gray is simply a far better footballer than Maupay.

Hafnia Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 He’s given me optimism. Thought he did well aside the finish at end of first half badaids, RPG, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I was surprised how he managed to compete physically. He even won a couple of headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post badaids Posted March 6 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 6 It comes down to this: we are more likely to score with Gray on the field than on the bench. He plays. RPG, Isaiah, Romey 1878 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention scoring on his return to the starting lineup. Penalty sure but with the importance of every goal very clear to everyone, he took it cool and calm. He just needs to start and should've been over Maupay since the second game. Formby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btay Posted March 7 Report Share Posted March 7 Has to play over Maupay. They offer a similar ability to link up but Grays pace in behind is dangerous, plus he is probably a better finisher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted March 8 Author Report Share Posted March 8 7 hours ago, Palfy said: No probably about it. I paid close attention to Maupay in the warm-up against Villa and the lad could finish then. He was beating the keeper most times and slotting it into both corners. I knew when it came to the game he'd fluff any chance and that's exactly what happened . He had a chance almost identical to what he'd been doing in the warm-up and hit it right at Martinez.

I watched him closely also, he was finishing really well in the practice, in the match shits the bed, surely it’s a confidence thing, a goal then some game time would do him the world of good.
