From memory, Mandeville’s cross, or shot, didn’t go directly to Grigg it only got there by deflection.
If so, isn’t there a similar argument for King’s deflection to Dobra?
Haha I knew you, specifically you would put this argument forwards

Mandeville's pass (it was clearly an attempted pass if you watch it back) has the intent to assist regardless of the deflection, King has a shot but it's blocked on the line and tapped in by Dobra, that doesn't constitute an assist imo. Similarly I wouldn't give Banks the assist for Berry's opener against Dagenham. Others could disagree and I'm sure there are inconsistencies in how I do it but that's the way I'm doing it
