Archie Gray

I can remember a couple of weeks ago that Gray was on the treatment table.

I reckon he was probably blowing hard in the second half so getting 75 mins out of him was probably about right by Frank. I reckon that sub was always going to happen. Hopefully no negative reaction and we now get Gray back in the squad every game.

We should remember we're only a couple of weeks away from losing Sarr to AFCON so we need Gray and Bergval fit and playing well.

Senegals first game is 23rd December....so probably here for Forest away then off he goes :(
 
A very mature performance from him in midfield. His best yet so far, not flashy or really stand out but he played with a lot of subtlety, always making the right decisions and was in the correct spaces.

I've been fairly consistent with my lamentation of the squad development and its lack of a passing capable 8 in he team. Some have argued for Bergvall to get the role but it doesn't really suit his attributes (for now at least). Brentford is probably too early and maybe too easy a game to proclaim him as the answer but it was a very good step in the right direction.

In the short term at the best least he might be the option and not just because he's the best of an unsuited lot.

It's kind of simple stuff but if you balance your midfield with complementary attributes and player types you'll get a better balanced result at least in terms of performance and delivery. That Bentancur/Palhinha axis is just too static and stodgy to get the team moving or the ball into the players who can get us moving quickly.

His control and positioning compared to Bergvall is so much better
Bergvall thrives in energy and drive
I think the pair of them will be a cracking blend in the future but Frank ball needs control right now and Archie does that, or tries to
