We've often had discussion regarding the signing of Mr Grigg and how he hasn't lived up to his price tag to date.
Given our style of play recently, with a high level of chance creation, fast interplay and balls into the box is it now chance to give him another chance? Even as a bench option to come on with 20 to go, there's definitely a striker in there, his goal returns previously have shown it and watching his movement etc he has not lost the instinct. Charlie Wyke has been playing his role well, putting himself about, pressing and being involved in creation of chances, but I can't help but feel his lack of goals might be the difference between drawing a match and winning one.
I know many have written Grigg off, which is fair enough, he was fairly lacklustre before he disappeared, but when he's a player who thrived on balls into the channel and played into the box, it's hardly surprising he struggled with scraps and hoofed aimless balls prior. For that kind of work Jonson Clarke-Harris from Bristol is your guy.
Of course, it's possible I've got the "absence makes the heart grow fonder" approach where a player is remembered as being far better than they were prior to an injury / being dropped, but I feel he should be involved and see how he fares with this new style.
