He is supposed to be the lynchpin of our team.
He is either giving the ball away, passing back or sideways or slowing it down ( or a combination of all three )
So ineffective
For example what was Grimes doing then when Gibbs White shoots and scores a yard from him | |

Ive said he is THE key reason why we are what we are
Didn't you read that?
His not being sold has truly killed us.
The very first to be offloaded. | |

The most overrated Swansea City player period. Hides when he should be taking responsibility. Coward of a player. | |

Oh dear.
The happy clapper deflects. How predictable.
The focus is on Martine, fella.
Grimes is Martine's chosen captain, of brand Martine.
Your focus is skewed. | |

Grimes has just passed the ball directly into the feet of a forward under no pressure at all.
We are 3-o down.
THREE NIL DOWN
Yet, we stroke it sideways. | |

Needs to stand up and be counted in games like this as captain.
I would give the captaincy to Downes, has that spark and fire. | |

If you are talking about me, then not a deflection.
Nothing to do with my position on Martin.
My position on Grimes has not changed over the last three seasons.
Apart from one or two games, he has been our most consistently slow, negative and frustrating player
Almost topped today's performance with a gift for a fifth as well
Grow up please and stop trying to points score.
No one should be crowing after that result or performance | |

He does, and he is a born leader - he’s not afraid to get stuck in.
Grimes seems to have the role of non playing captain. If they had got the fifth he would have at least been able to claim an assist.
Cooper choosing him as captain probably ensured we’d never get back to the prem. | |

Indeed.
Downes is everything Grimes isn't.
No player is beyond being dropped- except one | |

Appointing Martin had made sure of that. We have gone from having just about the best defensive record in the championship over the last two season under Cooper to being an utter shambles under Martin. | |

I’m not defending Grimes and everything that’s been said above I totally agree with.
But, for a captain to rally the players around him, they all need to buy into the system and I’m not sure any of them do now. | |

Downes is a warrior and yes he gets hot headed.No chance with Grimes as he is devoid of any fire in the belly.
His new contract as big a folly as was possible.
Downes IS a captain but a player being messed about.He wont be with us next year.
He is too smart. | |
| |

Downes was awful today as well. Hid from the ball, went backwards as his first option, bullied by their midfielders. Grimes deserves pelters for today, but it's strange how golden boy Flynn is being recommended for promotion on the back of that showing. | | | |
| How Can Anyone Defend Grimes ? on 17:21 - Feb 19 with 2341 views | AndyCole |
Downs was totally beasted today, and shown up to be the L1 Ipswich cast-off he was.
He has improved since learning off Grimes, but is no way what Martin nor Swans need as our pivot.
Back on topic - Grimes had to cover for both Cabango and Downs today. | |

That’s a bit pithy towards Downes . He’s a 22 year old - Grimes is near to 30. Grimes is the captain and Downes the junior partner and whilst Downes may have had an ineffective game Grimes has been consistently ineffective all season.
Whoever comes in will need to bench Grimes and allow Fulton to play just in front of Downes.
It’s got to be worth a try. | |

If Cooper had signed Downes then you would be raising/defending him. Downes has been excellent off his own back so don't deflect his pros onto Grimes....you are just being silly with that one.
Atleast try to be consistent. | |

| How Can Anyone Defend Grimes ? on 17:29 - Feb 19 with 2313 views | jasper_T |
Downes is 23 and Grimes is 26. I know you hate him but you don't half go overboard and make yourself sound silly. | | | |

He would be good in League 1. | |

Grimes is amongst the most overated we have had.
He probably overtakes Mark Gower which I thought would never happen.
That said,MG was 5 times the player Grimes is. | |

I really thought Grimes had turned a corner, turns out he was just playing for a contract and now he's got it, he's back to his worst, reading the comments.
Regardless though, the buck has to stop at Martin. He who picks the team, chooses the strategy and tactics, he is the person to blame.
We know Grimes has it in him to be a good player. The real questions hang over Martin's head. | |

has to be the most one-footed player i’ve ever seen. speaking outside of any criticism he’s getting here, it has always driven me crazy how he’s incapable of playing a ball with his right foot. i think that has a huge influence on his game and his inclination to play backwards at times. i’m not sure why you would even want the player playing arguably the most important position to be so limited. | | | |
| How Can Anyone Defend Grimes ? on 20:13 - Feb 19 with 2078 views | builthjack |
Spot on there. He has to turn right around to pass it sometimes as he can't use his right.
Crazy. | |

watch last seasons highlights Grimes was a totally different player..
Martin has coached so much out or him | |

It not just Grimes but the whole team.
All of them are being trashed
Every bit of talent they have sacrificed on the Russ Altar God know what.
Nobody knows what Russ plan is-simply that what he says is a transitional period. If this is transitional then let's kill it before it becomes a reality.
Grimes is bang average and not really that talented but he can play better if he can get away from this Russy plan.
You cant win games going backwards.
Today,for all to see,we were shameful and embarrassing. Many fans no, longer with us, are in my thoughts when I see this preening jerk spouting absolute drivel to the Press after another pitiful display. We should ,at least,honour their memory and stop this now. Enough is enough.
Our owners so need to man up | |
