Gray ??

[Silebyfox_89]

Hasn't kicked on since he arrived i would move him on in the summer if i'm honest. 

[Clever Fox]

He must be on borrowed time now. Offers so little either from the start of the bench.

Time to cash in and let someone else have him.

[foxile5]

Lots of this lack of progress would be mitigated if he were thinking.

 

Much like Jeffrey he seems to lack the mental aspect. I do hope someone is working on that. 

[STUHILL]

Think he is another player that would suit fast, counter attacking style. Seems to need space to run into to be at his best and this slow build up play just doesn't suit that. 

 

Luckily for him, Puel likes to work with younger players and also competition in wide areas hasn't been great, otherwise I think he would have had very few minutes this season.

 

I think a move in the Summer is best option for him, unless we get a new manager in with a different style and he finally is able to make a consistent impact on games!

When we played Man City in the cup last month it was his best performance,

he got forward and ran the field,

thats what he can offer,

but he’s consistently inconsistent

Again though. Its promise and could've beens and potential threat. He needs to deliver more.

Sometimes wonder if he is actually thinking ahead of the rest of the team and is actually superior.Perhaps would be better suited to Man City or Barca.

Credit where due. 

 

That was a great finish yesterday. Needs to be producing like that regularly.

involved in the build up to the goal last week scoring this week, maybe it's time people got off his back and just let him play

No. This isn't a problem with 'the people'. 

 

This is nearly three years of underachievement. Maybe he should be doing this week in week out.

I'm not a fan of Gray, I don't think he's good enough and think we could do a lot better but I'm not on his back, I've been hoping he'll just click. I just think he doesn't offer enough and his stats show that.

sadly this is true.even tho i liked him yesterday.

He tries,but he cant shot and surely he cant dribble.he is not with ball a lot,but when he is,he slows game

I know your comment is mitigated slightly by saying you liked him yesterday...

 

But his goal yesterday involved great dribbling and good shooting

Said this elsewhere, but he and Albrighton have contributed to the same number of goals this season and Gray has had less minutes

don't bother the sainted Marc Albrighton can do no wrong

[fuchsntf]

He played well yesterday...He scored a top goal...Let's see if he can roll it over for the rest of the season......!!!

I refuse to ,push him out,it's too early for a player of his age,who has shown possibilities and potential...

The question of "when then".   Just not now!!!  We don't have to decide one way or the other...too many believe,also on

other young players,there must be a descision...!!!  

Why it he's happy ,he getting quality game time,not always 1st choicer,occasionally not on the Bench,but more than a top  fringe player.

We get somebody better then ok,but it won't be that easy as some posters,will have and presume....He is already a decent player with higher potential!!

In a hundred and twenty plus appearances he has 6 goals and 6 assists. 

 

It just isn't good enough. We've had two years of discussing potential and Flair. He just isn't good enough. 

More than half of those have been as a sub tbf.

Statistics show that MA is more productive than DG since they've both played together. 

 

Should we ignore that to suit your narrative?

Whilst i understand that it doesn't negate the argument. He hasn't done enough and anyone suggesting he has is talking from desire rather than reality. 

 

People see the number seven on his back and a few step overs and will look past a lot, repeating the word 'Flair' as though that has any impact. 

 

I'd love him to succeed, he's our player, but he isn't right now.

His goal yesterday was a bit strange, their defenders looked ever so reluctant to put a tackle in, whatever though is was a good goal but i still saw him too many times make a forward pass and then walk on. I don't see enough runs off the ball, I don't see enough desire. Gray imo not only needs to receive the ball and create opportunities, he needs to make more runs without the ball and create more space, Nacho I think is guilty of the same. He's a Leicester player though so I want him to do well but I'd rather see Barnes Maddison Albrighton on the team sheet right now

He definitely needs to improve with running into space without the ball. Thats the area of game that lets him down the most i think

 

I would have to see the goal again but I thought the defenders were not sure when he was going to pull the trigger and Gray's timing was perfect.

 

Feel like some on here would laugh at me for saying this but Gray does make defenders nervous because he has very quick feet and can go round them

I think he also needs to work at picking his head up as well, I advocated a loan spell with a championship club for a season, I think it'd do him the world of good although he may snub his nose up at it.

This i cant agree with in the slightest

Gray actually contributes to our team. The squad is worse off without him. No way is he a player we should be loaning out

[Jazzy_Jeff]

I’d always start him. 

 

Got good pace, is direct and isn’t afraid to have pop
