Sunderland: Fans criticise Will Grigg after Gillingham loss

Sunderland endured another night to forget yesterday evening in their 1st round FA Cup replay down in Kent against fellow League One side Gillingham.

The Black Cats have not had a great season so far and after the sacking of Jack Ross, it actually seems as though things have taken a turn for the worse.

Right now, Phil Parkinson has a lot to do to try and turn results around as well as get fans onside and that is something he is going to have to do fast.

A number of the club’s players are taking a hammering at the moment, too, with forward Will Grigg continuing to struggle for form.

He was subbed off during extra time last night, and took a rollicking on Twitter – so let’s take a look at some of the criticism that went his way:

Grigg off, Connelly on.

Grigg has no confidence & can’t buy a goal right now!

How he’s stayed on the pitch this long beggars belief!

He’s had enough time to show what he’s got & failed!

Time to give younger blood ago, they certainly couldn’t be any worse!
