    Griffs worth his weight in hold. A tually thought he was quite awful today but he scored, set up one and he worked his balls off to help the team.

    If you're going to have a bad game that's the way to do it.

    Every * on here gets the fact griff has parts of his game that is not good enough and needs working on....we do we really really do.

    But some of us can see the guy had a good game...this week or last week or last month and give him some praise without the added BUT and moaning about his lack of this and that stuck on the end no matter what.

    He even got * slagged for taking two shots to score in europe during the week.

    He genuinely gives the impression he has reached his goal of playing for a big club, and won't throw it away.

    His attitude on the park is first class.

    Natural finisher, and right now he is doing what he is there for.

    Honestly he scored a goal and gets an assist and people still go on about his link up play , seriously shut the * up about it he pretty much got us two goals today.
    He scores regularly that's better than link up play in any * system, formation or set up.
    Griffiths link up play is the last of our problems right now.

    This.

    Some people do a massive disservice to him and will never give him his dues.

    His attitude and drive that he has shown here can only be compared to Brown.

    Give Griffiths service and he will score goals, I'm not sure what people expect from him and what more he can do tbh.

    Normally I'd agree, and he definitely deserves it. But, by *, he improves when he feels challenged. Tricky one... give him the big extension and he might take the foot offof the gas...

    One of my favourite players at the moment. His goal today was quality, and he has proved he can score goals at European level.

    We'd be doing very well to find a striker that could score the amount of goals Griffiths gets who is also a very good link up player/target man. In fact most teams would. Think he would probably thrive even more with a striking partner but at the same time I'm not convinced we would be stronger overall with two strikers on the pitch.

    A very valuable player to us because even if he plays pish he almost always still scores.

    Cracking striker. He loves it here and always puts in a shift. I've been behind him from day 1 despite all the nonsense previously.

    He's been nothing but a top goal scorer for us. He's scoring nearly every game he plays. Quality.

    Fantastic centre forward , and one i actually think will continue to get better. His goal today was a half chance and he made it count . Guarantees goals.
