Julian Gray's final game on Saturday

His month is up on the 15th (17th we play Pikeys), based on what youve seen so far, would you re-new his contract? (If you were Robins of course)

 

I would.

Naturally left footed. Did very well at left back and think he gives good cover to Hammill.

Depends how much he wants.

 

I'd sign him on a longer deal

Could be a good assest for us and hopefully Robins can bring the best out of him

 

I would too nt

 

No. nt

 

I think this sums up the sensible attitude nicely

the lying Barstewards poll backfired on him a little bit didnt it nt

 

Yes because i didn't agree with what he said he said that i didnt go to the game

 

Yes from me.....Natural LEFT footer!! nt

 

I'm thinking of doing the Pro License myself

if Judd and Simon Davey can do it I think anybody can

 

And from me too

For the same reason

 

when the alternative is El Hamiour, definatley

 

When you put it like that, absolutely.

 

yes nt nt

 

Yes nt

 

I cannot for the life of me understand why he could not be offered a longer contract

Pace and a left footed player!!!! Fooking hell we have nothad one for years.

 

NOPE...

 

I'd give him til end of season.

See how he's doing then maybe offer him a longer one after that.

 

Yes definitely. Until the end of the season. nt nt

 

Month-to-month deal

Gray is a player with Premier League and Championship experience, he's far from over the hill, and is a natural left sided player which we've been missing for years. He can play left back or left wing and has proven to be adept at both in the past.

I don't think he's been anywhere close to outstanding in the games played so far, but that's more than likely due to a lack of match practice. So the best solutionis, give him a short term deal and ask him to keep plugging away to prove he's worth a permanent place in our squad.

To me, the most impressive thing about Robins' short reign so far is he's recognised the need for competition for places. If a guy like Gray is sat on our bench, you can be sure that whoever is in the side is looking over his shoulder. For that reason alone, he's worth keeping.
