Great for Gray. Really pleased for the youngster.

He was so pained when he gave the goal away at Forest but this should help him.

He needs the right players alongside him leading the way but this is a night he will sleep with a smile on his face..

We have done him, and many others, such a disservice by transferring in so many players who are young and promising but clearly below the levels we need. Gray, Tel, Odobert, Simons, etc.—none of them should be in our squad now, but we are stuck relying on a critical mass of them because of organizational malpractice.

I think this particularly applies to Gray, because I think that deep-lying midfielders have the steepest learning curve (this is obviously arguable) of any position on the pitch. The need to feel pressure, to take the ball on the half-turn in risky positions and make very quick decisions with it, all of that only comes with time. The lad is 19.

I don’t disagree, and whilst it’s not his fault, why the fuck did we spend £40m on him then?

That’s a great take on the situation

Him and bergval, the last ones I’m holding out for any hope

He has games where you can see real promise and then undoes all that good work by getting really found out in others

The pool and forest errors were similar. Caught napping and both occasions the players gone through him

The Forest one he has to step in to that pass and knock it
He waits for it and by the time it’s arrived he’s on his heels and it’s done for

2 similar mistakes that he either learns from and kicks on…. Or he’s just not switched on enough at the highest level

I’d play him ahead of palhinha as I agree it’s a bit too much responsibility to anchor the midfield

Almost as if hes 19 and still learning in a team on a downward spiral playing uninspiring football.
When Pal came on v palace it realeased gray a little and he was much better driving forward playing passes into porros path etc. Hes an 8 not a 6 same as berg isnt a 10 hes an 8
 
Nothing against the lad, but I've seen thousands of kids with more talent & potential than him. He really is nothing special.
