| The folly of selecting Grimes 14:50 - Dec 21 with 3420 views | onehunglow |
All a team has to do is simply ensure he is pressurised .
Opponents know that everything goes through him,that he is one footed,that he is slow,that he is poor tackled and his shooting is normally absent . They know he doesn’t inspire a side nor lead nor chivvy up players like MPH,appallingly playing a whole game today .
They know that should they press him ,he will gift them.
He did it persistently today and most co@ he’s would have hooked him
He’s costing us dearly but not as much as the “ coach”
Fair to say ,it’s not a good start to Christmas
Don’t kick any puppies though |  |

Huddersfield are my tip for the play offs, with Birmingham and Wycombe going straight up. |
My Hudds chum says he’s doing just fine | |

I've met Grimes, had a brief chat with him about Martin, he doesn't seem the type to stand up to the manager, not to me. he came across as more of a yes man. I really would love to be proved wrong and he's at the managers door voicing the squads concern whenever needed.. |
And that’s exactly the issue
Captains have a duty to the club and to their teammates
If they are unsettled ,the Captain should intervene
This is why I have always maintained Grims is a poor captain . | |

It used to bother me that he missed so many free kicks. That was because he looked a technical player. I think he was become more consistent with the amount of games that he has played. I still can't see who we are going to replace him with. So don't really have the answer. The past couple of managers have all said he one of the first names on the team sheet. At championship level he turned into a good player. |
I don't think selecting Grimes is the folly, the tactics, strategy and other team selections are.
Grimes could be a very good player for us, we've seen in in spits and spurts.
Something that bothers me is the idea that football is more cerebral these days. Sport is instinctive. The best players don't take ages thinking about the next pass, the run or the shot, they just do it. You don't have all day to think about it because they get closed down, tackled, at the very least put off. Part of my problem with Grimes AND our football as a whole is we are so slow, it's why we struggle. We let teams close us down and end up going backwards.
We need to be quicker of thought AND deed. If what we do, how we play is on the bosses instructions then he needs to change his attitude or he can ship out too.
It's a well known saying in football, pace terrifies the oppositiom, Dabn James scared the life out of defenders. At the same time, a slow paced team delights the opposition because they carry very little threat unless you are even slower and less able.
It can as cerebral as they like but slow football bores the panst off me and I'm sure I'm not alone. | | | |
