@Liam9517 added: “If Grigg can get himself motivated and shows the hunger then he can play a big part this season and hoping Jack Diamond is given a chance to shine this season “

@RamseySAFC said: “If Grigg plays like this in the league, it's like a new signing for us. Give that man the ball at his feet and look what he can do with it”

@ConnorMMedia posted: “Is Will Grigg actually playing well? Probably too early to say he looks sharper but has upped the tempo a bit more than Wyke”

@PeterJWhalen7 commented: “Great to see Grigg on the scoresheet. Pre-season or not, a goal in the first game back should do his confidence the world of good. Hopefully he can bang in a few more before the season starts.”

@danwalkerxx tweeted: “The new and improved Grigg could be the answer to all our problems”
