Thoughts on Grigg

He's a perfect fit for Wigan. Pulled our centre backs out and drew them into committing, which gave Powell - a very dangerous player - plenty of freedom. A good foil. Against the lesser centre backs he'll get more chances and goals - and against better ones, like ours, he'll give their system room to express themselves by occupying those CBs with good movement.

I'd love to have him up top. I think him and Magennis would change the way we focus our attacks, and give us two great options in how to build an attack. They would serve different roles and thus necessitate a different system, but with the same players behind them. For instance, Reeves/Clarke behind Grigg would have more freedom to create, while behind Magennis, they would have an extra attacking focal point to gear towards.

Thought he looked alright but there are other players of theirs I'd have preferred. Byrne for a start looked v good.

Keep in mind this was, I believe, his first league start in like 6 months.

Yes, he would be a very good signing. His movement caused us a lot of problems.

Well, he's a senior striker so I'd take him. Having not realised who he was until he was taken off... I didn't notice him being particularly good/bad to be honest. Would agree Powell looked better.

Grigg obviously did a job for his team tonight, but Powell was the class player out there

People are right about Powell - but I only think he looked as good as he did because of Grigg's movement and interaction with our centre backs.

17 Jacobs was excellent

He was. But also a whinging twat. Didn't stop crying at the ref all game.

It would be tough to play him and Josh at the same time as Robinson will only play one formation (unless things are going drastically wrong) and we couldn't afford for either to be an off the bench player.

Why not? Competition for places is healthy. I don't like having just Josh virtually guaranteed to play with the back-up players falling some way short of the quality we need if we want to mount a promotion challenge.

Mate I'd have him, I just don't think there's any point whilst Robinson is manager as he'll be on decent money and the stipulation that we have to play 4-2-3-1 means he would hardly ever get a game whilst Josh is on the pitch.

I Might well be incorrect, but I thought Grigg had recently signed a new contract with Wigan when the transfer window closed?

yes he has

Would sign him straight away if we had the chance

Would prefer Bryne the 8, or Powell but we was ok

Wasn't Evans 8 and Byrne 2? Would agree that those two were impressive. Also Morsy 5 and Jacobs 17 were very good.

It was Burn who played well.

I'm told the vegan 'sausage rolls' smell bad and taste worse

tbh i would rather have parker than will grigg

Totally agree - Sky showed a bit of Millwall v Sheff Wed last night and the colour clash was even worse. I thought that these were a thing of the past.
