The bit I've just put in bold is key here. Whether Grant's form in the B Team warrants the suggestion he's good enough for first team football is debatable, but he (and a few others!) could do with first team football somewhere . We appear to have a talented crop of players in our B Team at the moment. I accept that they won't all make it but surely more of them have a chance to do so if they're playing at a better level than they are currently. I weren’t having a go. Just saying it as it is. He shouldn’t be loaned out, he should be used here. Should not even be up for debate at all if I’m honest Grant was due to play in the fa cup soon has he signed before his injury,maybe he might be involved against Preston |

I think we are too careful with these youngsters. Get them in if the only obstacles are people who are playing like kotoma did. If they are good enough they are old enough. I am sure other teams in the championship have been playing lads under 20. If they set the place alight they will be worth millions in no time. Pat Jones is another potential star isn't he ? Nail on the head. I have never known a club fart about with players as much as we do. We would rather persist with shite like a Holmes and Koroma than give someone whonis clearly a quite talented player a chance. It beggars belief to be honest. |

I weren’t having a go. Just saying it as it is. He shouldn’t be loaned out, he should be used here. Should not even be up for debate at all if I’m honest 2 winger slots available. In no particular order: Sorba Thomas Josh Koroma Connor Mahoney Aaron Rowe Duane Holmes Tino Anjorin Myles Bright Pat Jones Jack Rudoni Rolando Aarons ... are all competing with him for the wing berths. Some of those you might not rate, some can play in other positions, but to say it's not debatable is to say that a guy who hasn't played a minute's first team football since leaving the Irish League 18 months ago is head and shoulders above the players mentioned above. Harratt and Phillips have had spells of tearing it up in the B Team only to play bit-part roles in Lg2 afterwards. It IS debatable. Even if he's hands down the best winger we have at the club though, there's still only room for a few of those listed to get a reasonable amount of first team football. Some of those need either loaning out or selling for the sake of their own careers. Sorba is out of sorts, Koroma is just shit. Grant came in last January, he’s waited patiently for his turn and before even a newbie on the wing, he should be used, even if it’s against Preston. We will know then. He looked miles better in pre season than both the above and Holmes. Maybe bring him as a sub for Brum, introduce him at about 70, then play the lad against Preston. I’ve a sneaky feeling this lads gonna take the piss |

The rest are either central players or have been given a chance. If he plays and he isn't as good as we hope then fine but until he is given that chance how do we know if he isn't good enough? |

Look at Burnley playing Costello What's the relevance ? I forgot to quote the comment I replied to. Lesner mentioned we are too careful to throw the youngsters in. Grant played more top level football than Costelloe did in Ireland yet he got straight into their team on Friday. Grant is scoring and assisting for fun and we wont even give him a place on the bench. |

If you don't want to answer that please leave me alone. Cos let's not forget what you called me directly before you deleted your previous account.(good way to escape being banned lad ) So maybe its best you and I don't communicate It was a comparison on 2 young players, both come from Ireland and we have the better player going on stats. Yet we wont give Grant a chance and persist with Koroma. Burnley, who are a much better team, played theirs from the start, threw him straight in, non of this development B team bollocks. Good enough, you play. Now you replied to my comment, if you dont see the relevance, or dont want to talk about it, dont bloody comment. Absolute wum who I can imagine would not have the sarcastic billy big bollocks attitude if anything was face to face. If you replied with a valid counter argument, fair enough. But all you do is tall absolute waffle. |

I have seen him a few times, either going to watch or on the live streams. Majority of the time is the stand out player. 3. Yes, that is what a forum is about, but it is obvious you didnt see what I replied to as I forgot to quote, so tried being sarcastic. I am not crying. I just feel sorry for you and that you feel the need to wind people up to give your life some satisfaction. Sad sad man. |

2 winger slots available. In no particular order: Sorba Thomas Josh Koroma Connor Mahoney Aaron Rowe Duane Holmes Tino Anjorin Myles Bright Pat Jones Jack Rudoni Rolando Aarons ... are all competing with him for the wing berths. Some of those you might not rate, some can play in other positions, but to say it's not debatable is to say that a guy who hasn't played a minute's first team football since leaving the Irish League 18 months ago is head and shoulders above the players mentioned above. Harratt and Phillips have had spells of tearing it up in the B Team only to play bit-part roles in Lg2 afterwards. It IS debatable.

The rest are either central players or have been given a chance. If he plays and he isn't as good as we hope then fine but until he is given that chance how do we know if he isn't good enough? We don't. Ironically we might know better if we'd seen him in training (as DS et al have done!). I'm not saying that he shouldn't be in our first team. I'm saying it's a debatable point, for the reasons stated (also look at the match thread, nobody has picked Grant in their side). That is, there are arguments for playing other people in his position instead. If it turns out that we play him, great. I'm not opposed to that at all and if halifaxterrier9 's suggestion is taken up I'm happy with that. I'm just saying that if Schofield et al decide (for whatever reason) that the other players in the squad are a better option in his position then I'd rather see him (and a few others) getting first team football elsewhere rather than endless reserve games. Even if it's not at that high a level - I'd rather see Grant, Camara, Jones et al tearing it up for a National League club's first team than dithering in the reserves. |

If he was good enough then he'd be playing.
Mind you we fucked about with Lolley for about 12 months before we gave him a go.

Unless I'm wrong about his age, Grant will have to be one of the 25 named squad if he stays at the club as he's too old to be counted as an U21. Aarons is probably going to miss out because of injury and Jones can still be used as an U21. But Grant would probably have to be included instead of an experienced player. Personally I'd have him instead of Koroma, but I'm not sure DS will make that sort of decision.

And Mahoney has played 90 championship games in four years which puts him streets ahead of all the others -I just don’t get signing him and not playing him ahead of Koroma -It seems so strange this obsession with bedding in new players -Kompany did not get any bedding in time and didn’t use a bloody I pad for subs -did you see Rudoni sub delayed because DS kept on his I pad with instructions so we missed a couple of minutes of pitch time -you couldn’t make it up
