It was just a couple of days before the game against Fulham (in the Carling Cup) and I had to fly out to Paris," said Gradel.

I then came back and played in the Fulham game.

And still tore the Fulham defence a new one in that 2nd half... says a lot about his ability and his mentality.

I've just watched his interview on 'world'. You would never think that he is currently going through yet another family tragedy judging by his reactions in the video. Maybe keeping his focus on football is helping him cope.

I'm very happy here and things have gone well so far for me. This is a massive club and the fans and staff have been right behind me
I guess every team wants to beat us. But if we listen to what the manager says, everything will be okay

This is why we love you Max! Good luck lil fella!

Poor lad.

Shows he has a great character being able to cope with this and care for his brothers and sisters.

Exactly. He's doing a lot better than I would be if I'd lost my mum and aunt in the space of a year. My thoughts go out to the chap.

What a top lad. His attitude and desire to fight on after the tragedies he's suffered is first class.

Hopefully things will look up for him in his personal life, and he'll continue his great form for us.

Best of luck Max :thumbup::):scarf:

He's a very unlucky lad But he is mentally strong, so he'll get through this. Kudos to him.

The lad's a gem. And the way he's coped so far is a tribute to him. Whatever cards he's dealt nothing seems to subdue his enthuisiasm, endeavour and self belief. And I hope nothing ever does. The game needs people like him. :scarf:

Cos when he starts the opposition just try to hack him down making him lose confidence and be shit. Just like today.

Bring him on when the opposition are worn out fgs.

Put him back on the flipping bench, he plays much better frmo there. I apologised to Fez yesterday for believing that he's still not quite got 90 minutes in him.

I expect to get ripped a new one for saying that but it's true he is an impact player. It's all about Chris Powell these days.

I must admit that some teams are becoming accustomed to Gradel this season. Last season at Bournemouth half of the teams had no idea who he was and he run amok. But this season, when he plays the teams that he tore to pieces last season (Millwall being one of them, where he got a brace) they are viciously trying to take him out of the game. I hope the referee's start to take charge, because Millwall's game plan on Gradel was disgusting, but I suppose they don't have the talent to keep him quiet.

Gradel needs to find a way of still hurting teams and i'm sure he will do. Many good wingers face this sort of problem and it's the good ones that continue to destroy the opposition. I've said it before and i'll say it again, when teams stick two men on Gradel and try to open him up, we should use the space elsewhere to take advantage and that's why Lloyd Dyer is as crucial to this team as Gradel is. Once Dyer is given the ball more in space when teams have put another one on Gradel, it means we have more movement and then the opposition will be in all sorts of muck.

We need to get cleverer, i'm sure we will.

Good post and i completely agree. Lloyd Dyer is extremley important to the team and you have highlighted exactly why. Sums it up perfectly. However Gradel SHOULD have been sent off yesterday. Lashing out was extremley unprofessional.

What happened Saturday though was that two men were on both of them and our central midfielders were unable to create enough for the strikers to feed off, which is worrying. We need players all across the middle who can take advantage of the space. King's movement was good but his touch wasn't up to it yesterday, which is disappointing but can be rectified. I'd be more worried if it was the other way around. Because the wingers were being pressed back and they weren't getting enough good balls through the centre after about the first 20 minutes the strikers gradually started having to forage back down the pitch at times, allowing Millwall yet more men behind the ball.

Tactically spot on by Millwall, but like I said, our CM's should be able to take advantage and didn't.
