Christ almighty. We have enough trouble as it is, without a keeper constantly making mistakes. And I like the bloke.

Another relatively long-range effort ("outside the area" according to the BBC). With bodies in the way Grof may have been unsighted, or it may have been a deflection - you still have to look at the positioning of the goalkeeper though......

No he would not have done better. But it's not much consolation right this minute.

All he would have to have done was get 1 on target to do better, but its ok Grigg is still young and learning :roll:

Need a striker, forward line is pap.

We've got the wingers this season, rate Hemmings, but no Macken type up top to knock 'em in, just shows how thick Smith is when it's blatantly obviously, even Donny fans have said we pass it about nicey nicey but nothing up front.

What formation are we playing? If it's grigg up top alone Smith deserves to be shot, never, ever going to work, rather play tricky Brandy up front alone.

But he is young and still learning, that is clear. Whether or not he is ready to lead our attack is a separate issue.

Another howler from Grof I'm afraid. Our two best chances fell to Grigg and he failed to hit the target both times when well placed. We're not out of it but someone in a red shirt needs to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Cuvelier's having a rare off night and Paterson's anonymous.

When do you stop being young and learning? He cannot recieve the praise he did against MK Dons and then not be allowed to recieve criticism. Its plainly obvious hes not upto it and we should atleast try to get someone in who is. We should send him out onloan to a league 2 side so he can bang acouple of goals in and get some confidence, but thats just my opinion.

We're not blaming Grigg. It's Smith that's too blame. This will be the finish of Smith if he doesn't swallow his pride.

Smith proved last season hes tactically inept.

Not to worry he still has the option of substititions which we all know hes so good at doing :lol:
