One of the best signings in many a year.Again yesterday, he showed his leadership in bucket loads . A goal behind & urging his players on ……2 goals down & the same .
No histrionics , but calm encouragement throughout, while he plays his normal 100% game .
A fantastic captain of our club .

Its Amazing isnt it that he gives the ball away probably 3 times in the game and we are all saying its his poorest game for us.I think yesterday was his poorest game for us and it was still a solid 7/10

It just shows how good he really is.
Yeah he I did and I was panicking for him as was thinking bet he’s never started a game like this before he must be flustered. I was then watching him carefully as to what he was going to do next pass as I was like yeah but he’s Matty Grimes he’ll know how to play himself in, sure enough next touch took more care over a 5 yard pass than I’ve ever seen.He gave the ball away twice in the first 5 minutes and it's like witnessing a once in a lifetime event!
Not his best game yesterday but he was still one of the best players on the pitch
No, I would say he probably did believe that Sheaf was good enough, but that he was just so unavailable to play all the time.FL Identified that Sheaf was not good enough and midfield needed a a better controlling influence, a better continuity player. Then they went and paid for him never mind his age. Probably one of the best managerial decisions in the recent history of the club. I love watching him.
He is for sure.I think the fitness thing was just an added complication. grimes is a major upgrade not just a replacement.

We were all frustrated by that.
The issue with sheaf was never some errors, that's life it was errors in dangerous positions. I thought Grimes was nowhere near his best yesterday but any ball given away wasn't in a dangerous position and we had cover.He is for sure.
Sheaf has so many more errors in him and his pass completion compared to Grimes, must surely pale in comparison, you would think

It will be interesting to see what happens with Grimes were we to go up.
You’ve seen the impact Xhaka has anchoring sunderland. i think we would follow that and potentially see Grimes go on loan to one of the relegated teams
Rushworth underhit 2 balls in the same period.He gave the ball away twice in the first 5 minutes and it's like witnessing a once in a lifetime event!

OK I’m just saying it as it is. If we want to stay up should we get there that conversation will be hadBehave
Hypothetical question, would a Grimes, Torp, Rudoni and Hamer midfield be enough to keep us up?

McGrath just defied all logic.....even when you thought he was beaten...out popped a foot and the ball was safe. Never trained much eitherWhether he could make the step up and be so effective, who knows (intelligent footballers can survive at the highest level). He would certainly be decent within the squad. It would depend what you place around him. Good reading of the game can be worth two or three yards of pace. I don't know if you are old enough to have watched Trevor Peak or Paul McGrath at the top level.
Not so fast, he didn't mention Mbappe and Haaland were up front.
Any stato's out there got our win ratios since he joined???
I bet it's crazy good?
I think they might be even better as FL oversaw a few early draws/loses...Probably similar to Lampards

Wish he was five years younger

Almost all other championship players will be "on our radar" i'd say, in that we've had a look at them. But a manager would come in and have a lot of influence over who to actually get over the line.This is a lovely story but didn’t we have it confirmed Grimes was on our radar before Lampard was here? Player aquisition for better or worse is mostly out of the managers hands these days.
