Matt Grimes

He's still a young player, still new to the, to the league, to the country, but I don't think he's going to be somebody, even when he is up to speed, he's going to break the lines with passes rather than he can drive forward with the ball at his feet.

And then we come to Matt Grimes, who obviously I think it's fair to say there's probably a lot of attention around at the moment.

Um, And we know the job that he did for us in the championship was great, but it's a different requirement for him in the Premier League.

And it feels to me as though it's not going to solve the problem by any stretch of the imagination by making a change there.

But it feels as though we're at the point where we potentially need to look at making that change and bringing somebody into that position.

into that position who can who can take those chances with the ball make things happen with a pass we we're probably still going to find that do you know what three out of four of those attempts that we take where we're trying to break the lines doesn't come off but all you need is that one time to give those forward players a little bit more space to operate in and that's where you get a game like newcastle right you get the space yeah things can happen we're not putting ourselves in a position to even have those moments happen because it's essentially like premier league team keeping us at arm's length hand on the forehead and we're swinging and we're just not, we're not within reach.

I mean, let's talk about Matt Grimes.

I was in the casino after the game, listening to Noel Whelan speaking.

Especially, as you said, especially through the midfield, which is annoying and a shame because...

I don't want to pile on the Matt Grimes slander because I think he's coming in for harsh treatment.

But I don't know, we can't let the game pass us by, you know?

Yeah, that is a great way to put it.

Yeah, so your comments are going to be going crazy.

Now you've mentioned Matt Grimes.

I'm in no way, I'm not in the kind of Grimes is terrible.

He's not at this level.

Martin King says, greetings from more or less unified Canada.

Cameron De Rossi says, Grimes was poor.

He was invisible in the midfield.

These are all questions that Danny's going to... answer, basically.

Uncle John, I'm sorry, but as much as I love Grimes, he shouldn't be in the starting XI.

Dan, thoughts on Rodoni now? Change your mind on him making the grade in the Premier League? Rushworth looks very shaky.

Finn says, not a 3-1 game.

I really enjoyed watching him.

Yeah.

Something I found interesting about the way Coventry played as well is Matt Grimes and Bobby Thomas seem to be all over the pitch.

They push so

high up as part of their kind of unit.

So I think as you're building what you said, that's the best way to really build on that Newcastle result.

And Matt Grimes comes in for a bit of criticism, But on his day, I think he's really our heartbeat.

So if we get him on the ball, he can be positive.

I think the team does better as a result.
