Sounded to be heavily involved in yesterday’s game - has anyone seen him play first hand? Is he good enough? If he is, and given that there is a perception that a left winger is needed, is it now appropriate to introduce a new “secret weapon” to baffle our opponents? I recognise he is right-footed, but it seems de rigeur to use wingers on the opposite side to their favoured foot. |

Too much to think he might get a bench app this season? Probs only if there’s an injury crisis I’d assume timing of the subs yesterday suggests not. Almost all of the players who have played for the first team this season came off at the same time after an hour, as if they're being saved for involvement in the next game. Grant played until about 85 mins so he's behind at least Anjorin and Rowe. Fingers crossed he gets a good pre season in and can state his case More getting Grant minutes, wouldnt read too much into how long he played compared to others. Grant has normally only played a half or up to 55 minutes. I think. Was his longest run out yet, again, I think. |

Seen Rolando Aarons is back in training it seems?
Even fans of other clubs eyeing up Grant! He has been fit now since January and playing 80-90 the last few B team games. He’s had rotten luck and the fact we are doing so well hasn’t helped. But I’m 100% sure he will have a good career.

Apparently the header he scored was onside and was a great goal too

If, & it is a big if, we are safely in the playoffs with a game or so to go, I think it would be excellent man management to have him in the squad. Something along the lines of you've had a terribly unlucky season Danny, but you've worked incredibly hard, you're very much in our plans next season, here's your reward - I think it'd do wonders to give him a taste of first team action &, hopefully, get him thinking that that is what he wants next year.
If we do go up, again a big if, he would need a loan as he has to be playing regularly.

If we do go up, again a big if, he would need a loan as he has to be playing regularly. Looking at the remaining games I'm expecting us to still need something on the last day. Even if we weren't though - I'd treat that as a preparation for our 2-3 game mini-season - give minutes to fringe players who need them (e.g. I'd start Ruffels, Rhodes, Blackman...etc so that if they are needed in the playoffs they're not coming in cold (& rest all of the intended starting line-up for the playoffs). Unless there's a plan to bring in DG for the playoffs I wouldn't give him a place on the bench even if Brizzle game is a dead rubber. |

We know what Rhodes will do, lumber around slowly in the hope we can put one on a plate for him and see if he can do better than the chances he missed at Hull. |

I'm starting to think you don't rate our Jordan.... Even so, relying on a project player that isn't even ready to complete a full 90 minutes in the B team in his natural position, to get us through the playoffs when played out of position strikes me as absurd. |

Dont understand how you can compare the loans. One has been with us all season and has played a huge chunk of games. The other has come in for 11 games, injured when signed and picked up another injury since. |

Fortunately the only person who matters ( Carlos)
would never make the mistake of involving a player who’s never played Championship level football, in games that are absolutely vital to our efforts to get promotion.
Grant seems to be highly rated by some and I hope they are right, but surely they realise that the time to give him games is when the pressure is off, like pre season friendly’s for example.

Tis written in the stars that this young lad will come on in the playoff final and bend in a winning 30 yard screamer in the 91st min to then get a 50m move to Citeh in the summer

Would you also drop Levi Colwill? Completely misread my point. Dont understand how you can compare the loans. One has been with us all season and has played a huge chunk of games. The other has come in for 11 games, injured when signed and picked up another injury since. And for the purposes of who gets picked in the final games of the season that's scarcely relevant. In both instances we're developing another club's player when we could be picking Grant, or Jones, or Ayina, or Olagunju... etc. What matters is who is best placed to ensure we pick up points or win us the playoffs. Danny Grant is a project player that isn't ready yet. Tino Anjorin is a player that was brought in with the intention of him making an impact at first team level in our promotion attempt. If we were not overachieving, and certainly if we had nothing to play for then I would say you had a point. Take our 1st game after Cowleys left as an example, when Demeaco Duhaney, Joel Coleman, Jaden Brown, Matt Daly, Micah Obiero & Scott High all featured despite there being better options available. We were safe with nothing to play for & gave some fringe players a game. Fair enough. However this season, until we're mathematically assured of NOT being promoted I see no benefit in sacrificing the here & now for playing the long game. Even then, IMO the squad have overachieved so much already this season that dropping them even then would seem unduly harsh & perhaps not be conducive to good preparation for next season. |

I refuse to believe this lad could do any worse than Koroma if he was given a chance.
Seems like he will end up going out on loan but if last night was anything to go by it might be worth rethinking that

Seems like he will end up going out on loan but if last night was anything to go by it might be worth rethinking that I'd have to agree. Pat Jones is another one who deserves a chance. Koroma looks devoid of all confidence. His body language just looks wrong somehow. Mind you, Sorba was next to useless last night as well. These young lads might have that bit of hunger that we need. |
