I know all the plaudits from last season, and now this season, will go to Freddie and The Goat, but I just wanted to give a small, well actually, HUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEE, amount of praise to Wayne Gray!
He was one of my faves from last season, even though he looked jaded towards the end of it, but this season so far, he has been absolutely awesome, a complete revelation.
I thought he may struggle against League One opposition, but so far he has been our best player by a mile. He had a quiet first half against Vale, but then scored a super goal, and then against Bradford and Walsall, he has been superb, a better striker at this level, im yet to see.
He has responded in completely the right way since The Goats arrival, and on Tuesday night he setup both goals very well, and his all round perfornamce was excellent, and then Saturday would go down as his best performance in a Southend shirt... Even clearing one off the line in the first half!!
If he carries on like this, then im afraid the Goat may not get the first team football he was looking for!!
I know I have maybe gone over the top on the superlatives front, but Gray doesnt often get the recognition he deserves, and at this point in time, he deserves all of it!!
Keep it up Wayne!!
