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 | |

I can defend him.
Grimes is a good player and a good honest lad who works his bollocks off for this team every week.
The TEAM are shite because the MANAGER sends them out with 1 hand tied behind their back, every week.
Grimes does look to pass it forward and is one of the few we have capable of playing a defense splitting through ball with any regularity.
There is not enough movement in the team however, they do not find space off the ball. | |

Grimes did nothing today ,from jogging back for gibbs goal ,to playing useless lazy balls back to a player under pressure or sideways for no reason
Cannot turn on a ball to save his life no pace can't take a ball forward couldn't tackle a bag ,general he is not never says a word never berates players playing badly doesn't even gee them up
About the worst captain ever ,a 4th division player at best
I could add more but can't be arsed
Downes is a better all round person for capt and player | | | |

Ok I got his age wrong. I’m spot on about his ineffectiveness and cowardly refusal to take responsibility as captain. Every time he starts we take the field with ten men.
Shocking excuse for a professional footballer. | |

Agree that Martin's tactics aren't helping him, but he was the same under Cooper ?
Fans were saying the same last season and although the personnel around him and manager have changed, he is still the same one footed, defence minded player he was last season
Today he even made a brilliant sideways pass on the edge of our 18 yard box under no pressure to set up one of their players to shoot.
The guy got so excited he blasted it over the bar | |

Grimes has an average of 0.9 key passes per game this season. And 0 assists. | | | |

Does anyone else in our team do better?
The team is shite.
I remember coaching an excellent little player who was from a rural community and played for a team who struggled for both numbers and talent. He was trying to carry half a dozen boys on his back every time he took the field...if stats were available I'm sure his wouldn't have looked too great.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching him totally dominate the opposition (many of whom were used to thrashing his team) when selecting him in a team where everybody could play though.
This is a team sport, it is hard to shine when an incompetent coach has hamstrung the team and is refusing to alter course.
Rees-Zammet looks electric in the English Premiership, but put him in a team (Wales) that never give him the ball and he will look average. | |

That's damning and very worrying for an individual who is technically decent.
As a manager you would be pulling your hair out with him especially when he has so much of the ball and in decent positions.
0 assists is shocking for a player at his level. | |

Almost had one today.
Sadly it was on the wrong end ... | |

And yet a certain poster has claimed he is our best player, our pivot or fulcrum or whatever.
Add in his scoring record and look at chances he makes for the opposition and it certainly looks like a very good reason to bin him.
Send him to Lincoln and get Whittaker back! We need an attack minded player. | |

Pound to a penny he’s one of his relatives or Grimes in person | |

He is obviously not techically competent.He cannot take a corner FFS.
He can kick with his right but chooses not to.
A player who need dropping before anyone else. | |

I stand corrected, after reading your post I can't disagree especially with the corner.
Would be interesting to see how we would do with him out if the team for 3/4 matches. | |

Morning dap
Well,for a start we could
instruct Fisher to kick long into the opponents half then
regroup to defend further up the pitch.Better than in our own box.
We could pas the ball forward and have players quit repeating what Grimes does and that is to pass then receive it back immediately then to pass it again. No need for this nonsense at all.
Then ,we could instruct players to shoot at goal.
We could even practice this at training
We could even quit the nonsense of asuming Manning is a left back and Burns a right back. | |

Sadly never going to be dropped.
An average player who could do better in a different team and with a different manager.
However he should not be " first on the teamsheet every game" as he clearly is | | | |

Cooper's chosen captain for Cooperball.
A lot of players were absent yesterday.
Burns isn’t ready, Manning forgot he wasn’t a wingback. Christie, who I have really liked the look of was shocking (goals 1 & 4 in particular). Lati isn’t a wing back. Downes and Grimes weren’t on the same page.
Fisher, dreadful keeper who should be nowhere near a first team squad. | |

Only point I would disagree with there is on the 4th goal Grimes was two yards away and was playing statues instead of sticking a leg in to at least try and stop the shot ? | | | |

Not really Union.
Football has its basics.
Russ ignores them
We can and should in a play off spot.
We destroyed Hudds second half at the JS so it shows we can perform.
That we do not for 90 mins. Is down to one man | |

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. I fundamentally agree with you. | |

I know you were .
I feel sorry for players,almost
They need to man up,starting with the club captain and simply say enough is enough .he is ruinin*their careers | |
