Gray always looked great against Championship opposition in the Cups, so that would work out nicely. Get rid quickly when we get promoted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 27 July 2023 Share Posted 27 July 2023 Time will tell, I just get the feeling he’ll be one of those frustrating players that does 80% of it correctly, then frustrates everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg2607 Posted 27 July 2023 Share Posted 27 July 2023 well at least we can say with confidence is that he is currently our best left winger!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf that describes most wingers. I think at this level he’ll be a really good signing. Over the years we’ve signed players that haven’t looked that great on paper, and they’ve gone on to be legends. I’m not saying he’ll be a legend but I think he has enough enough about him to be very good at this level. We’re not top 10 Prem anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever plays as the main striker might get quite frustrated with this guy. Is that a fair assessment? Sounds very familiar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStandUpperTier Posted 27 July 2023 Share Posted 27 July 2023 Just been comparing his career stats to HB (obviously unfair, but I don't know who else to compare him to) - to get a measure of what type of player he is. https://fbref.com/en/stathead/player_comparison.cgi?request=1&sum=0&dom_lg=1&player_id1=30144daa&player_id2=3ea50f67 Comparable goalscoring to Harvey - 0.31 goals per 90 to Harvey's 0.33 Not much of a goal creator - 0.07 assists per 90 to Harvey's 0.20 Very good infront of goal when he gets a chance with a career G-xG of +5.7 (Harvey is +4.4) Less touches and passes than Harvey - maybe a sign that he can sometimes be too easily pushed out onto the periphery of a game Slightly better defensive stats than Harvey - more tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90 - although that's not saying much Overall, I'd say he's worth the gamble, certainly at this level, and considering we have no other left wingers with any sort of senior experience 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say this is the opposite actually. Look at the stick Harvey got for ‘not tracking back’. Even Mahrez got it from some. Our fans will be on his back no matter how many he scores if he is perceived not to be doing defensive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez often finished with a higher tackle rate than Wes Morgan - so i suppose he did most of his defensive work further up the field.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
