Seen that, tinkle poor from vic tbh.

vicario is pure adrenaline when on the pitch. that's how he is.
i definitely prefer a keeper that is calm and assertive not aggressive and emotionally charged. i think most defenders too.

I didn't mind it tbh. Would need to watch it back but I thought at the time that Gray was a bit sloppy and let that winger get a cross in too easily. About 2mins later he snuffed out a potential cross well.

Either way, He's no full back, especially on the left, and is doing his best which is all we can ask. I really hope he gets some Europa games or PL sub appearances in CM soon though!

Think he'll keep getting games at full back. It's where we're short on options at the moment and Davies who is an option for the EL at least is needed at CB. We cannot keep playing Porro and Udogie, Spence is injured and not registered for the EL.

Meanwhile in midfield we actually have real options including Bergvall who surely also deserves game time.

Gray seems to be developing well while playing as a full back. And since we invert the full backs anyway he gets very useful experience for midfield roles for when that opportunity arises.

Would be fun to see what he could do in midfield. But particularly for the 6/DM role I think he's still some way off being ready for that in the league anyway.

Unless we get a proper injury crisis in midfield I'm guessing full back will be his main role this season.
