It's been a season to forget for Sunderland so far, but for one man it's been the stuff of nightmares.

Will Grigg was tipped to be the Black Cats' star man this season, with the Northern Ireland international pretty much guaranteeing goals at the Stadium Of Light.

Unfortunately that hasn't quite worked out.

The 28-year-old has struggled for form and confidence this term leading to speculation that he may be allowed to move on in the January transfer window.

Blackpool have been linked with a loan move for the striker, but it remains to be seen whether a move could be plausible.

But how has Will Grigg performed this term? Let's take a look.

As far as Will Grigg's campaign has gone, the numbers don't lie.

The 28-year-old has made 25 appearances so far this term, but has hugely under-performed verses expectation.

Grigg will have had aspirations of being League One's top scorer this term, but as we approach the halfway point of the season he's scored just three so far.

Can you remember Sunderland's last 16 Boxing Day results? Let's find out!

Add one assist to that tally and it's a less-than remarkable record.

As well as that, Grigg has won just 27% of his aerial duels.Those numbers start to make sense when you look at the other statistics around the striker, with Grigg getting just 36.8% of his shots on target.

That has left the striker with an average of 0.28 expected goals per game - a number which hints at his woes in front of goal.
