Sunderland striker Will Grigg was guilty of missing a penalty, as Phil Parkinson’s side crashed out of the League Cup.
Sunderland fans want Will Grigg sold, after he missed a crucial penalty against Oxford United last night.
Grigg has endured a miserable time since moving to Sunderland last January, where he has failed to live up to expectations.
Sunderland spent big on Grigg to be the man to fire them to promotion last season, but he has failed to ever show his best at the Stadium of Light.
The Northern Irish international has always been a prolific scorer at League One level throughout his career, but he has badly struggled to find the net at Sunderland.
And after he blazed his penalty over in a defeat to Oxford in the League Cup the tide seems to have turned against him.
Many Sunderland fans now want to see the back of Grigg, as they do not feel he will ever find his best form at the club.
Sunderland’s failure to beat Oxford means that Phil Parkinson has made a rather slow start to life in the Black Cats dugout.
Parkinson has won just one of his first four matches in charge of Sunderland, and it remains to be seen whether he will keep faith in Grigg or take him out of the firing line now.
