Al B Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 The shouts for Grimmy at LB are mental. The guy can't even throw a ball using both hands, he's the last person I want trying to kick it with the wrong foot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I agree with that. He’s also “never a midfielder” when he’s doing well at right back and “never a right-back” after a bad game. Maybe it’s the burden of being first choice that’s affected his game. This is probably been the first season where he’s started it first choice. In the past he’s needed to be better than Rose/McHugh etc to play in midfield then better than Tait to play at right-back and now being an automatic pick is alien to him.

I’m trying to think of RB’s at other clubs in the league that I’d rather have (out with the OF) and I can’t think of too many off the top of my head. The lad Hernandez at Aberdeen maybe? Regardless, it’s a great signing. I would have only swapped SOD for Tavernier and Frimpong. Age difference aside losing him was as big a blow as losing Taylor last year. Scores goals, creates goals, great engine and in my opinion a great attitude. Yes he had dips in his performance at times but some of that was due to the way we played under AA last season. When he was asked to play in a more cautious way he was part of a defence who conceded very few goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Does anyone else get the feeling that in a few years we'll be talking about the 2020 Motherwell team that won 3-0 at Easter Road, knocked Celtic out the cup, lost to Hamilton four times and finished 8th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Is it just me or did O'Donnell say in that interview that Robinson said he hoped we had a few injuries? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda feel sorry for him a bit. For what it is worth I do too. He is a very likeable guy. And while I am not saying he is solely responsible for the goal we conceded v United and 2nd goal v Livi, the reality is that he was a major contributor. He has a great engine and is OK going forward but defensively he is always liable to be caught out. For me he is a decent back up player to have for midfield and defence but not first choice. All that said I would not be surprised if Robinson plays SOD at left back and Grimshaw retains his place at RB. It all comes down to whether the gaffer thinks Lamie is poorer at LB than Grimmy is at RB. SOD favoured position is RB but I suspect the reason he mentioned he has played at LB is because the Manager has told he may well be playing in that position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Grimshaw is not only a terrible right back but he's absolutely gash in general. And for a "midfielder" brought through the youth system at Old Trafford his passing is absolutely honking. He was consistently the weak link in the team last season but his ability to go on the odd crazy and ultimately fruitless mazy seems to have been enough to distract some Motherwell fans from his overall shiteness. Of all the mistakes Robinson has made already this season not replacing Grimshaw from the off is by far the most infuriating.

FFS. Surely he could still sit on the bench? Lucky that he's got a decent contract, unlucky injury wise but I doubt he'd have seen much game time. SOD seems a pretty damn good signing to me. Especially with the state of the current options. RIP Tam Forsyth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desp Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Its unfortunate for Fox, but its a boot to the bollocks that we're shelling out a season's wage for a player that won't ever be in our squad again. Can we really afford another wage? Aren't we up to about 30 players in our squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's 30 dead on: First Team The chat from Robinson in the press conference yesterday was that there's no money left for bring in new players though he went on to talk about actively looking to get the "better" younger players out on loan as there's no Reserve league at the moment. I'd have thought for the most part we'd cover the wages for Development loans but the landscape has changed a bit. Unsure whether loaning out half a dozen of the young 'uns would free up any money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
