Made an unselfish dummy run to give his partner space? Physically dominated a defender over a game? Made a meaningful defensive contribution? Shall we go with today for starters? Honestly, I watched Gregory closely today to see if I could see any of the issues you've described on here in recent weeks, and I genuinely don't have a clue what player you're watching.

OwlerIT2 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Gregory has new lease of life - 34 though so not one to rely on next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darra Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Gregory's goal today was his 8th in 8 games. Sure they said SSN that Byers scored 4 goals in 56 games for Swansea. He's scored 6 for us this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDS Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I was happy when we signed him. Thought he’d get goals and be a target man for us. But he has so much more to his game than I thought. Great touch, works incredibly hard and links play really well. Him and Bazz link up really well. He’s a top number 9 for this league 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleowl74 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Was gutted when he went off. Purely for selfish reasons had a bet on for him to score twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I watched Gregory closely today to see if I could see any of the issues you've described on here in recent weeks, and I genuinely don't have a clue what player you're watching. I never post the evening after a game, but today I will. I hold my hands up, today was a different Wednesday and a different Lee Gregory. The tactics were faster and more open than I've seen for a long time, no tappy tappy sideways, always forwards. As for Gregory, it was like he had read my posts, made a checklist of everything I've said, then spent the game checking them off one by one. He got behind and got a shot off, not once, but twice! Check. Dummy run for Byers to try and get Berahio through on goal. Check. Defensive effort. It was cleaning up after he gave the freekick away, but Check. Swapping the 9 role with Berahino and closing down in the 10 role. Check. It pretty much had everything I asked for, so Lee, if you are reading this, keep it up for the next three games and I'll apologise and shut my filthy mouth. Also, if you are reading this, tell yourself, Hutch, Mass and Marvin that sliding in from behind never ever works, other than that, well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever the pessimist Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Was brilliant today. If that lob after bringing the ball out of the sky in the second half had gone it it would have been amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm an Essex Owl Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Best performance I have seen by a number nine at Hillsborough for a long time. He was outstanding today. Though some may prefer we start with Kamberi (apparently due to his goals from open play and his “running around the pitch” stats) I think Gregory is a class above 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0114 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Plays well when he isn’t scoring. Non stop grafter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory fee Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It’s a shame we lost him for two months earlier on in season.As soon as I saw that we had signed him I knew he would be a great addition. He is a proper old school striker who has a great touch is work rate is amazing best signing of the season for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlstastic Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The ball just stuck to him today. Wonderful performance. He must be full of confidence now going into the Sunderland games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like the same Gregory we've seen at Hillsborough on many an occasion this season to me. I honestly think you're seeing things that aren't there. I was all set to be convinced of your tactical insight today, and then...nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole team played well barring the jittery 1st 10 mins I thought Gregory was the stand-out, shading BB, Byers and Palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
