I can't distinguish between Campbell & Gray..
Is Gray the guy who played v Dunfermline in the replay and scored at ER in the friendly v Boro in the summer?

Gray played against Dunfermline, but I think it was Campbell who scored against Boro (could be wrong about that). Gray scored against Aberdeen when we had the team of laddies out up at Pittodrie last season when he forced Diamond (I think) into the short pass back then ran in and tucked it away. He's a bit quicker over the first 5 yards than Campbell, and always seems to be in the areas where you want strikers to be. Very good finisher as well. He seems to have the thing where he doesn't have a lot of backlift so always seems to hit the ball early which doesn't give keepers a chance to set themselves for a shot. Just on the goal against Aberdeen, he gave the defender a wee nudge as he was playing the passback which was what created the chance imo. That was a sign to me that he has really good instincts about how to play up front. Just force a defender into a mistake. As you've probably guessed I like Gray a lot. Think he should have been given a bit more of a chance than he's had so far this season, and he was one of the reasons I didn't want us to sign as many strikers as we have this season. Hopefully he'll go to Partick and rattle in a few goals and force his way into the first team set up regularly for us in the latter part of the season.
Appearance wise they look quite similar. Gray is possibly a bit stockier but there really isn't much in it.
