However, being a sad ole retiree.....I have everybodys squad in excel and when I checked it was him, as you say......I just happened to notice what a fine carefree evening he had, much to my total annoyance. anyway Back on topic, I liked what I see with Lewis, but would like to see him play No9 or second striker to Davis.

In addition to the pen which was well taken, what did Grabban do to make you happy with his performance? I'm confused because I haven't seen anything of note from him yet. sorry for poking my nose in Composure and the ability to own the ball in his possession. ps When he is played in his right position.....He knows where to position himself in order to hurt the central defenders, he works them.

Especially out cutting the hedge in t-shirt, shorts and panama mid morning before coffee and the suits going past heading to meetings. And I think, ``I used to be the suit in the car thinking `that lucky old bastard`''. Now it is me. Anyway, Lewis Grabbon, good signing - cool penalty.

AJ Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 What makes me happy is thinking of Hogan and Grabban up front, Jack behind them, and Albert and Snoddy on the wings. What an attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an attack. Start Gabban up front if Grealish is back. Hogan looks like a nine years old kid playing in a u12 game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czechlad Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I don't think Grabban did well at all on the left side. I thought he would work there, but it seems to be striker or nothing. Until Jack comes back, I'd play Grabban over Hogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Grabban looks a decent player. Been impressed. 2 in 2 as well so can't complain about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I'd be tempted to start him over Hogan. Inspired signing IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabban has played all 3 of the front roles - a damn site better there than barney was - agree he should be ahead of hogan though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Excellent signing. Really has something about him which I didn't expect. I still wouldn't play him up top by himself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted February 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 24, 2018 He certainly is active, fast, and clever with his movement. As we said before be got him, he has a habit of being right place at the right time, and it’s more than just luck. He’s scored 2 for us already, he can probably get 10-12!

8pints Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) I like him. I like the way he moves. He's very good at creating space for himself and putting defenders off with a little roll of his shoulder type move. Watch out for it. Bit like how you see a big cat move (Which is fitting now he's part of the pride) Sort of like this But standing up and not as overt obviously but still...

I feel as if I'm a more-than-forgiving supporter throughout our last two decades, but Hogan is basically my least inspiring player in all that time, or one of them. If he reads this, I'd like him to know I said the same about Fabian Delph, and he can prove me wrong. Buttt... we've had some strikers who have really made an impact bar goals and I think we need one of those. In his defence, he basically reminds me of Darren Bent—no impact on a game, but might score a goal. But having said that, he doesn't score as much as Darren Bent did, and we're in the championship. I still need convincing big time. Edited February 24, 2018 by praisedmambo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
