Quite a few of us were very quick to judge him too to be fair

I remember being at Bristol Rovers and the abuse he was getting was absurd. Granted it wasn’t a particularly glowing personal performance but all those around him were shite too, but for some reason the level of abuse sterling received was some of the worst I’ve heard directed at our own player. I’m sure he’ll bounce back, if not at Chelsea, he’ll be an asset to someone else next season

I was at that game and he was poor. He did get some grief but was it really that bad?
The performance combined with the weather no doubt made for vitriolic feedback.

Who said he was? He’s playing in a friendly for his parent club. He’ll go back out on loan, I would think.

This.
It wasnt really until the Sunderland game where he filled in at LB before he really had a decent game. He gained confidence and pushed on from there.
Before that he was dodgy. And fans, rightfully, were critical. He had just walked in to the team ahead of Grimmer. Who after all had just helped us to promotion with a fantastic goal at Wembley.

He was a decent player but I think he will get to the heights of van aarholt. Good but not class

Not quite true is it. Grimmer was injured at the start of the season hence Sterling started. When Sterling lost his place Grimmer came in and was no better so lost his place then I think its clear Sterling was the better player.
The criticism of Sterling was unjust and the cringey lovefest with Grimmer was based on him liking some tweets as far as I can tell.

Grimmer wasn't injured, Robins chose to start Sterling over him in that Scunthorpe game and subsequent games. Then as you say he got I hired so Grimmer got a chance but didn't hold down the place and sterling came back in.

I always thought it was a shame Grimmer didn't start the season and allow Sterling to fight to get into the team. Once Sterling got into his mojo I thought he was very good.

Nothing to do with Grimmer being instrumental in our first promotion in over half a century then, or his stand out goal at Wembley in the play off final? Just a like on Twitter and nothing more I take it! Ffs some people.
I think you'll find we probably had an agreement with Chelsea to guarantee him game time.

Instrumental no, effective in league 2 sure. Great goal at Wembley too. However, he was limited in league 1 and sterling started ahead of him on merit. Those that felt Grimmer should have been starting at RB last year over Sterling must have been watching different games to most of the fans.

Wtf!!!
Let me get this right, are you seriously suggesting that a player who played over 40 games in our promotion season WASN'T instrumental in it???

I thought he was an England youth player - he’s young and still can shine - we had glimpses !
