Stuart Gray

[canyoujust]

Worst thing is 7 years later we still don’t have a manager as tactically astute as Gray..wonder what DC would do now if he inherited a club with an experienced coach like SG in charge….

[McRightSide]

Can you just not

[markowl]

I miss those heady days under Gray and celebrating wildly if we scored one goal in a game.

 

Looking at the teams he's managed since leaving us, we've definitely missed a trick.

[fpowl]

I like Darren Moore and believe he’s a good solid long term solution he’s done a lot to mend this club off the pitch and I believe and trust him. I also agree with what he said he’s a couple of players short of the finished squad I’m confident he’ll get those players before the windows shut and I’m confident we will be battling it out for automatics this year 

 

He’s the right man, now

Old hat,move on,first game,entertaining today,

Darren Moore has had a great budget since he arrived..but you still want a ‘couple more players’?? How about turning the ones you have got into a promotion winning side? It’s not goin to happen

[S72 Owl]

I liked Stuart Gray, he did a reasonable job but every year that goes by his stock seems to rise. 

 

There’s probably a reason why he’s not had another managers job.

[Owls2k]

Gray was responsible for some of the dullest matches at Hillsborough in years. Jos' football was more entertaining.

Everyone can see this squad needs pace up top and In wide areas 

 

moore as stated that’s what he wants 

 

he’s chased those attributes all preseason 

 

that’s the squad he wants and I believe when he gets it this SQUAD will be a promotion squad 

 

the strength of that bench today screamed how good this squad is 

 

most people will have vaulks and smith as starters but they are slightly behind due to their knocks and in cones Bashiru 2 goals and you can argue windass 1 assist 

 

add pace up there and out wide we will play differently have a different threat and be a promotion team 

 

not sure why you would criticise that, he’s not got the squad yet but he will have and if he gets us promotion or takes us up as champions playing attacking football would you still call for his head?

Please put this into "Terms" like Moore does?  

[WimJunk]

I didn't mind Gray, but he made Antonio look awful, when clearly he has turned out to be a very good prem player. 

[maidstoneowl]

where he now?

 

could we bring it in?

He’s got the best squad in the division.."and withoùt a shadow of a doubt the highest paid squad in the division...in my opinion he his not up to the job...and b4 the ‘it’s only one game brigade’ jump all over me...it’s not..he’s had loads of games

You can’t finish a jigsaw with out all the pieces 

 

thats like saying he’s got the most expensive squad in the league and having the same expectations but not having a goalkeeper 

 

it might be expensive but if it’s not complete it’s not the finished article 

 

he wants pace he wants a couple more players if he doesn’t get them I still think he will challenge for promotion with this squad ( and rightly so ) 

 

but he’s built or building a squad for promotion and key to that as he said on a number of occasions and what he’s tried to address all year is adding pace and width up top 

 

from before the season ended last year Moore will have know what he wanted in this years squad and how he wants us set up and playing 

 

and whilst he’s got 90% of that completed it’s those other players that will finalise and let him play how he’s been planning it’s just not come off yet 

 

But I believe it will 

 

so I’ll ask you again when Moore gets his squad completed like he wants and if we get promoted would you still be calling for his head

Don't rise to his bait.

Yeah I took it 

 

 

[Django]

Looking back Gray left DC and CC the perfect job. All he was missing was the firepower and he’d have had us challenging imo

 

The spine he left behind (Westwood, Lees, Lee, Loovens, Hutchinson) outlived both Carlos and Chansiri’s spendageddon

Moore can chase all the pace he wants but if/when he gets them where do they fit into his 3-5-2?

You are of course right, some of the football under him was awful, but he had what he had to work with.

 

He built a solid side but his shoestring budget left him with the likes of Stevie May, Atdhe Nuhiu, Will Keane and Hallam Hope upfront.

 

One thing you’d always get from Stuart Gray however was a Championship club come the final whistle on the last day of the season. That’s something I wish we had right now.
