Anyone concerned about Grimes after he went down and stayed down until treated on Saturday? My heart sank when he looked imobile on the ground. Hope its not going to scupper his chances of playing on Friday

Grimes is a machine. Nearly a weeks rest so he will be 100% fit.

I think its called game management.....

 

[JSL]

Well we were trying to defend a corner with only 9 men so I doubt it was tactical

Don't think it was. He would have waited until the ball went out of play rather than 9 v 11

 

[David O'Day]

Yes. Perhaps they can help him

can't help you though, you've clearly got 2 eyes

 

[JSL]

No help need thanks

 

[David O'Day]

No help need thanks

suit yourself, marbles for eyes

 

[Jamesimus]

I

think the guy reposted it from Rudis Insta

Not sure how as it’s not on his instagram and I didn’t see it when he first posted 2 days ago? Plus no one mentioning it in the comments under the post?

 

[shepardo01]

And hopefully he hasn't caught this bug off our other players especially as it's been our defenders hit the hardest.

To be fair to him, it would be the first thing he hasn't caught!...

 

[JSL]

I cant help thinking we will tear Swansea apart and rack up multiple goals

Looked like cramp to me.

 

[Mcbean]

Seen the training pics - Jack Simms Lati Allen Torpy KKH

 

[edgy]

We get to see this Marko Stamenic in the flesh as well.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Got a feeling we’ll draw this and then beat Ipswich.

He hot cramp apparently! That's why he stood still and then dropped to the floor and he yanked his toes forward for a few seconds and got back on with it, as you say the guys a machine

 

[TomRad85]

Had a browse at their forum and hoping we wallop them. Very confident for such a poor team and still massively rattled by Grimes. As BSB said, they have Galbraith and Vipotnik, outside of that they are pretty gash. They also think our results have dropped off, i think in the context of the fixtures our results have held pretty firm, if we back them up with a home win against these we're going along very nicely indeed.

Championship clubs just preferred it when we were a basket case or plucky losers. Not allowed our moment in the sun after 25 years of shite apparently.

TBH - I would take 1-0

 

[Macca1987]

I would take 1-0 each game to the end of the season, it wouldn't do my heart much good, but if it gets us promoted I'm okay with it

It was cramp wasn’t it- he was keeping his leg straight to help it and physio was doing the typical cramp remedy

 

[richnrg]

hot cramp apparently!

Is that worse than normal cramp?

 

[Warwickhunt]

That's what happens when you got effing fat fingers

 

[Gibbo]

Assuming the centre backs are both fit (see above):-

KKH rather than Bidwell for JDS but Brau to get a run out at 70 minutes if we are cruising
Ellis Simms for Wright
four man midfield - Grimes, Torp, Eccles and Rudoni

Comfortable win....

 

[fernandopartridge]

I've said I think we will win even with 2nd and 3rd choice players. But like I also said let's see the teamsheet first.

Eh?
