A damn site more than they were this time yesterday.

That gives him the Double over Manchester.

Indeed.
I have pointed out that he scored twice for us last time he helped a League 1 team inflict a humiliating cup defeat onto a big Premier League club from Manchester, on the BBC Sport comments page for their "FA Cup: Just how big was Wigan's victory over Manchester City?" article & HYS.

Still Man Ure's heaviest defeat to lower league opposition after 90 mins, isn't it? :lol:

I'm sure Nicky Maynard would have taken that chance just as well.

That single winning goal by Will Grigg to knock Manchester City out of the FA Cup, just earned Wigan £180,000 in 5th Round prize money alone...
Wonder if he's really worth £1M?

Maynard for Grigg.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

After Grigg left us, in his subsequent championship year with Wigan he scored 7 goals from 38 games.

In his championship year with us, Maynard also scored 7 goals from 38 games.

We didn’t pay a million for Maynard

I should hope not!
Since the start of the 2012/13 season, Maynard has scored 17 goals in 141 matches.
Grigg has scored 97 in 247 matches in the same period.
Maynard averages a goal every 8.2 games. Grigg a goal every 2.5 games.
Wigan are going up with Grigg as top scorer, we are going down. Maynard has scored 0 in 24 for Aberdeen this season.
That's why we should have paid £1 million for Grigg, but why we ended up with Maynard on the cheap.

If we had paid a million for exactly the same performance, we would have been slagging off the club for wasting money, and we’d still have been relegated.

Pretty sure us beating them 4-0 is their biggest ever League Cup defeat too (including Premier League opposition).

He actually scored fewer goals than Maynard did for is in the Championship. I think that we needed another goalscorer, but I doubt that Grigg would have been that player.
