David Gray

[Keyser Sauzee]

Any1 else starting to think the he’s played his way back into NL’s plans over the last few games? I know he’s had his injuries last season but just felt like he was slipping right down the pecking order. He was excellent in the first half tonight and the 2nd half last week and I think Lennon must be delighted with him.

[bingo70]

Absolutely superb player.

Not convinced he is a wing back however he’s never let us down there, when he’s allowed to just be a defensive right back he is terrific.

Love the guy and not just for sentimental reasons.

[Tyler Durden]

Thought he was great but if we have 2 good strikers available then Boyle will revert to first choice wing back.

Gray will still get plenty games though as we’ll need to rotate with our Europa commitments 😉

Great to see him back to his best though

[Scotty Leither]

Yup...just like a new signing in my book. He had a rough time with injuries last year and always looked like he was playing with a knock/niggly injury whenever he played. Another one like wee Louie who would walk into any side in the league bar Celtc.

100% agree. Hopefully us securing MacLaren will make this a possibility.

When he ran 30 yards tonight to get rid of their players surrounding Boyle when he was down injured sums hims up.

We had been under the cosh for a spell and he got right over and made sure no one in our team was bullied. A proper captain who always seems to step up whe he’s really needed. Brondby away, the Scottish Cup Final, 2nd half last week.......

He’s a diamond.

Great post. Sir David just reaffirmed tonight how important he is for us when he's fit. Captain, leader and legend.

SDG is a magnificent player, hero and captain fantastic. Not in the least surprised he's BACK

[marinello59]

He was brilliant tonight. Back to his best.h

Said the exact same to my mates tonight. That right there is a club captain!! I absolutely love Hanlon but he doesn't have that about him. I absolutely love Gray and I always will.

[GreenLake]

He loves to win. Great to see him back in the team.

[SirDavidsNapper]

He's like a new signing. Inspirational big game player. Great to see him back.

[Nameless]

I was born in 82, so I'm not old enough to worship the famous 5 or Turnbulls Tornados. I only just remembered the Team That Wouldn't Die, and to be honest, the McLeish and Mogga era's didn't generate a real folk hero (Sauzee, Boozy & Murphy came close for me). SDG is my man crush, my hero and my favourite ever Hibs player - 50 years from now I will bore my grandkids with exaggerated stories of his daring do's, and tell them how no right back since has ever matched up to him.

Outstanding performance from SDG tonight.

[hfc rd]

Sir David Gray - Captain Fantastic

What a leader we have!

[calumhibee1]

Outstanding tonight and in the second half of the first leg.

[Sir David Gray]

He hasn't been knighted for no reason. I would give him a 10 year contract.

Agree with this but wouldn't mind SDG playing on the right hand side of the back 3. His defensive game is excellent and he's very good in the air. Would also be able to push play up the right when needed. Efe does this role pretty well already but I think SDG could do a not bad job of it too.

Our best defender this evening. Has to start v Motherwell if fit.

[Shrekko]

The legend grew tonight. Absolutely brilliant.

[CMurdoch]

As others have said SDG is like a new signing.
I must admit i thought he was on the way out last season but he has come roaring back to top form.
His goal last week and more so his wonderful 1st half performance tonight sees him right back (no pun intended) in the first team .

He should certainly have a job for life at hibs if he wants it.

loves a great European display btw

In all seriousness I don't think European teams know how to cope with his energy, drive and athleticism. If he pished in my cornflakes I'd..

Probably chuck them out and give him a slap. But he's still a legend.

Can't argue with any of that pal - when he's fit he's still got it.

[Unseen work]

He was brilliant.

First half especially they were putting us under a lot of pressure from crosses but his reading of the play and interceptions were vital in keeping us in it.

Also seems to have a not bad goal scoring record for a full back, especially in big games.

Can’t disagree more (not trying to be a pain) but at the moment I’d far rather see Gray at RWB than Boyle. I love Boyles work rate but Grays physicality and general defensive capabilities trump Boyle for me.
