Archie Gray

No one.

I reckon I could have a good, bloody good go at, uh, Archie Gray, Lucas-

He's too nice, isn't he?

...

You can kind of see with that he is.

Maybe he might not get to the levels what we expect, but at least he's played, he's scored, and you can see that he's, uh, an attacking player and he'll take players on and everything else that you can see that there is something there.

But with Archie Gray, I don't really...

There isn't anything that I believe he excels in that I can hang my hat on and be like, "He's fucking quality at tackling.

There's a couple of possibles that could still happen in terms of professionals that have slightly famous fathers.

Gio Reyna, who could still play for Sunderland following in the footsteps of his dad Claudio he was born in Sunderland Giovanni Reina was and the other one Archie Gray

oh yeah whose father is Andy Gray who I think there's another Gray brother younger than well

it's the Gray family because Eddie Gray was the uncle

Yeah, but I mean, doesn't Archie Gray have a younger brother who also plays for Leeds? I think so.

He may be more realistic.

Yeah.

That's what got us Lucas Bergvall.

That's what got us Archie Gray.

But now we're throwing money at it and only buying what Deserby wants, which is players who are Premier League experienced and Premier League ready now.

Neither of those strategies work.

But what's your view on that, Rossi, on just the pairing at the back? I know he stunk the place out, but do we miss a Romero, given the presence that he provides there in centre-half position?

No, I think that it sort of goes back to the Newcastle game, where Poirot was playing in front of Gray.

So then you go back to the traditional back four, Van Hecht, to me, does look at sixes and sevens.

He doesn't, whether that's he's just used to being the guy and instead it's actually VDV who's calling the shots there.

I think he's just very quick and he can recover.

But would he have to recover like that if we weren't making those stupid errors? That's what it seems to be from what I'm seeing.

Chris, how do you see it, mate, as far as the new back four, I guess? The new captain, except Archie Gray is still up right back.

It does seem a bit of a mess at times.

And I also think we ruined it towards the end of the window.

Like, we already paid the price for letting someone like Jed Spence go and not having a replacement plan in place by playing Archie Gray there at right back against Brentford.

Now, Archie Gray wasn't the only problem.

Everyone was shit that day.

But if you look at the start of the game, they pinpointed him.

Looking forward to seeing how Harry Gray does on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.

That is the younger brother of Archie Gray.

Very, very talented player.

Very, very talented player.

And I would say probably the other one was done a year ago in, in Tokakoga to have us.

And there's quite a lot of parallels actually, I think with Archie Gray, we've got two teenagers basically being put into the, into the leadership group of, of, of both teams, but Toko's, intelligence at such a young age to read the game she's great on the ball she's strong she's quick all of the hallmarks of kind of what you would expect from a from a experienced defender who's 28 she's had since we signed her at the age of 19 and again i think she's one that is going to go straight to the very top and almost feel like we're in this crossroads with her the club has now got to match the ambitions and make sure we grow with those players as we wanted and we didn't do with the likes of Kane, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen.

We have to grow with those players if we're going to keep them because the vultures will come circling and they're good enough to go and play in that upper tier of clubs.

So if we want to retain those players and us push on, the club have got to kind of keep investing and keep making sure that we can move forward.

Looking forward to seeing how Harry Gray does on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
