The verdict

Signing Gray on loan from Watford is an excellent piece of business for QPR with the experienced forward someone that has already shown he can be a major goal-scoring force in the Championship.

At Burnley in the 2015/16 season, the side was set up to play to his strengths and give him a lot of through balls to run onto in the final third.

As a result, he fired in 23 league goals to help the Clarets secure the Championship title.

Watford never really played to his strengths in the same way that Burnley or Brentford did prior to his move to Vicarage Road.

However, you can see Warburton getting the best out for the forward and there is plenty of creativity in the Rs’ squad that can unlock Gray’s goal-scoring potential.

Gray might feel he has a point to prove after not managing to be as impressive at Watford as he would have been hoping for.

This move seems like a natural fit and it should enable him to become a key part of a side once again and get back to his best in front of goal.
