Tanya Posted 4 March 2020 Share Posted 4 March 2020 I'd rather get him off the books than loan him out. We only spent three million surely we will recoup that investment? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacreblueits442 Posted 4 March 2020 Share Posted 4 March 2020 .. the way we play, passing out from the back does not suit him!! Although Barnes had a more positive approach to the game he was also stymied by our style of play and showing for passes, only to see the ball moved out to the other wing. This is not a, let's give Demarai another chance post, just an observation of his predicament within the team structure. When we pushed him more central and further up the pitch he seemed more switched on and looked like he could cause the opposition problems. I know a young lad who was played on the wing constantly because of his speed and he never saw much of the ball as his team mates failed to utilise his assets and he himself failed to find the space to receive a pass . I watched him play a few times and suggested that his best position would be central as a withdrawn striker as he came to life and was demanding the ball, when his coach had to change things, due to injury. He eventually gave the game up, as he was not progressing in the wing role and finding the games passing him by. I think Gray is the same, he needs to be central up front but not main striker. He made intelligent runs in that position tonight and should he leave, I hope he leaves the wing and come inside. It is a better role for him and he looks like he understands the position.

I am surprised we didn't just put him back on the Birmingham bus with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t quite say that. I hope we never forget the goal he scored for Vichai at Cardiff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 As always, some on here over reacting. He’s a good player, just patchy on form. I’d play him against Villa, instead of Perez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d play him against Villa, instead of Perez. The problem is, he has all the potential to be a world class player, he just can not put it all together, that has nothing to do with form. I dont know what the answer with him, but i think it might be time to let him find his path else where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of players going through bad spells currently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Think he has something and will eventually get a decent football career but not with us sadly. He’s stalled here and needs a move to get a fresh perspective and start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Bournemouth would still take him. I'll put him up while he's negotiating his contract no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAN Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Not massively important but noticed for one of their corners nacho sprinted to position himself in defensive line up whilst gray casually walked towards his. Had they gone early he wouldn’t have been ready. Just sums up his work ethic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d play him against Villa, instead of Perez. Look, I'm the first to bemoan a foxestalk over reaction but equally the foxestalk contrarian crowd can be just as annoying. It's been nearly five years, if you still think Demarai Gray is a good player and should be starting for us, you're the minority for a reason. It's a daft opinion. He's not the worst player in the club's history and he'll do alright sold back to some top half championship team but he's just not good enough for us where we are, it's not any kind of cruel personal attack to state that. Nor is it a position based off one or two odd games. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Honestly, it's never gonna happen for him here. Had some good moments but most of the time his decision making is amateur, to put it nicely. Needs to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 Really hoped he would come good but just not happening for the lad. He has a year left on his contract at the end of the season. We would be mad not to sell and make money before he leaves on a free next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 5 March 2020 Share Posted 5 March 2020 As a backup winger he’s alright. If we sell we’ll need to buy another backup winger (and a first team winger). He gets a lot of hate for someone who plays so little. I have the feeling if we sell, he’ll go somewhere, something will click and he’ll realise all his potential. Doesn’t seem to be happening here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
