    Don't panic Mr Mainwaring...

    Gray gone.

    Lack of investment.

    Relegation a formality.

    Don't panic SD will sort it!

    I've put these stats up before, but maybe I should put them up again.

    We played 43 games last season,

    Gray started in 28 of them, we won 6 of them (21%) and lost 15 (54%).
    Gray didn't start in 15, we won 7 of them (47%) and lost 6 (40%).

    No need to search for the panic button, we managed perfectly well without him last season.

    I think he was frustrated at the way he was being deployed. He is very quick but we just lumped long balls up to him - which is certainly not his strength.

    I can see him being very successful at Watford.

    If he therefore goes; who in to replace him. Have we a signing lined up knowing he would leave or what??? We seem to have hell of a lot of money!!!!!!!!!! Spent what 20 million received over 40 million.

    I didn't really notice any difference in the way we played last year to our promotion season, imo he simply didn't make the step up required to the higher level. I think he might find it just as difficult to score at Watford, but we'll see, I have no worries or complaints about us selling a striker who couldn't even get into double figures last season.

    Good luck to the lad, if he starts banging them in for Watford I'll be the first to hold my hand up. Wouldn't be the first time I'd been wrong either, would it.

    Yeah BT; they will be sitting on chairs made of gold in that boardroom before long.
