6 years apart, eh. Shows how shit he is.

there was a moment just then gray racing ahead with just the keeper to beat and ...... nothing weak shot at the keeper. he will continue to be inconsistent. this is a demon he has to conquer if he ever wants to a top player.

Bit harsh to say someone is shit just because they weren't playing in the same division as Leeds.

How the fvck has Martinez stayed on the pitch for that?

Just seen this and even though Wilson was offside that’s a shocking effort of a tackle some keepers get away with some awful  stuff at times

Did you see that thing go over your head.? 😉😂

Man City putting 5 past another poor side at home 

[StanSP]

Norwich are going to beat us 1-0 again aren't they?

[UHDrive]

Feels like last year a little. So many catch up games on Sundays/Mondays with the disadvantage and pressure of catching up on points and opponents.

Quite a few of our recent managers had a good look at Gray and didn't think he was anything more than an impact sub at best. 

I'll trust their judgement but good luck to Gray if he does well for Everton

Gray would often play well whenever he got in the team. Then he'd get complacent and his performances would tail off. Fair play to him if he does well at Everton, but it's far too early to judge.

 

Amazing how quickly people forget what a player was like here.

If played well consists of 30/40 mins then I’d agree

Wish we had support like Leeds, never stopped singing when they were losing. King Power was a library when we were winning last week

Not so sure 

Normally were like Dortmund but last week a lot of our fans had to leave early to get home to feed the cat

The Wolves fans sang "Is this a library?" as they do everywhere they visit, but I've always put that down to Wolverhampton people not knowing what an actual library is. ("Is this a library?")

No axe to grind with Gray. When he arrived at KP i thought he was the future, but under four different managers he flattered to deceive. Some great performances from the bench which earned him a starting spot which he then blew by being anonymous. Always seemed to me he was an instinctive player, did well when reacting in a tight situation, snapshot etc. but given a bit of space and time and he invariably dithered and then lost the momentum or made the wrong decision. 

He said himself recently, that during the latter part of his time here he made some poor choices but that he has learnt from that and hopefully is more focused on what is important. Some people take longer to mature than others, especially when fame and wealth come at a very early age.  Hope he does well

I've got nothing against him, hope he does well, but we're literally 2 games into the season.

I have always thought he is a championship level player , good footballer but lacking the sharp brain and quick thinking necessary for a top PL  side. On the other hand if he proves me wrong then good luck to him. MOTM today apparently .

[TheSomersetFox]

The obsession with Gray after a few Instagram posts while he was here is mad

[trabuch]

Watford look quite poor. Good header though.

[adejo92]

Pretty typical we sell Gray and he turns in to the exact player we need right now.

Yes, I do. It was usually when he was subbed on, IIRC.

Leverkusen got rid after about 6 months too

Gray was shite for us. Simple as. He might do well there but I'd predict a brief purple patch before reverting to norm, as was always the way with DG here.

[Number 6]

Well the yellow teams are going down this year.
