    I read somewhere his previous manager highlighted his style of play (ball down the channel for Grigg to run onto in the box and score) but realised in the championship he didn't have the squad capable of being set up to play to Grigg strengths so decided to move him on. Donald was an embarrassing clown on stid II

    Grigg has not performed here for a number of reasons, including poor service.

    But he also did not want to come, commuting for a year and a half from the bloody North West, has missed numerous sitters anyway, looking terrified to be playing for us, is half arsed, and frankly well passed his best, whatever that was.

    I do have some (not much) sympathy with Donald on Grigg. It was one of the few times Donald actually did his best to get promotion.

    Of course none of it made sense - losing Maja and then spending more money than you got for him on Grigg.

    Donald did his best here but its a prime example of him being entirely and completely out of his depth and unprepared. He had no idea, and by skimping on the people he brought in to advise him, they had no idea as well. And he knew they had no idea so went over them.

    I guess I'm just saying it felt like one of the few times he was actually trying to do what was right for the club (probably out of regret for Maja)

    Out of desire to make a profit and be popular I suspect.

    Apparently it's Northampton Sileby Rangers FC.
    They've offered £250 and we've said it's a deal as long as they take Graham too.
    Deal fell through then.

    My car needs a good run out. Hasn't done more than 2 or 3 miles in a journey for months!

    Now cheeky..

    Yes for the team to score more goals, I reckon I can say all posters on here recognise we need better strikers and to get rid of useless ones. Bearing in mind the salary cap. A couple of Loans of youngsters from the Premier league would do, a la Danny Welbeck?

    The thing is, they have to ge the right ones. We had that kid from Spurs a couple of seasons ago who might as well have not been here for all the impact he had. Then Semenyo last season, though to be fair the curtailment probably stopped him getting much of a real chance. Getting them in is easier said than done at the minute as real quality ones are likely to be in and around the first team so won't be that likely to move and the salary cap buggers up getting in anyone 22 or over. That said it's probably the best way to go for now.

    We could try and get those two who left last year back in, or better still try Curry now, or Kimpi once he is fit.

    well we would lose money on them two going but get the Plymouth top striker in for starters and the Shrewsbury number 5 and12 players they caused us problems on Saturday. There are loads of good players i have seen this season in this division.

    Grigg may score goals with the right service

    My son got new car last March (69 reg). He then got asked to work from home. It has a run out at the weekend and only has 200 miles on it. My car is going back next month and just going to use his.

    As @The Berk says. He’s missed a large number of good chances that someone with his record should comfortably score. Nothing to do with service

    I think he will score again with another team. It just hasnt worked out for him here. Salford closer to home would suit him methinks.

    Needs more than a service - a new engine and a clutch



    around the neck for starters.
