mwram1973 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Is this a Grant thread or a Bridcutt thread. Come on lads, stick to topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 According to Mel he had torn a muscle in his knee, the injury didnt allow him the height he needed on jumping to claim high balls into the box. I think that is a good excuse as any for his poor form, Grant is usually solid in goals and it was only an injury that stopped that.so why didn't we just play Roos then?? That's bizarre? We just played with an injured keeper and gifted teams points? I bet Roos was fuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 so why didn't we just play Roos then?? That's bizarre? We just played with an injured keeper and gifted teams points? I bet Roos was fuming or not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDeadlySaul Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 so why didn't we just play Roos then?? That's bizarre? We just played with an injured keeper and gifted teams points? I bet Roos was fuming He obviously isn't rated highly by the coaching staff, it's why Carson has been bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbados Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 or not good enoughgood enough to play in the cups and was no 2. Looked decent whenever I saw him. Mind you if Mac had a favourite he just wouldn't drop them no matter what, look at Hendrick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 then why play him? Just seems stupid. Hughes also revealed last night that he's been playing injured for the latter part of last season, and still now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 According to Mel he had torn a muscle in his knee, the injury didnt allow him the height he needed on jumping to claim high balls into the box. I think that is a good excuse as any for his poor form, Grant is usually solid in goals and it was only an injury that stopped that.So that made him punch the ball behind him when it was at head height and a free catch?I'm not against Grant, personally I'd rather him start the season as number 1 and see how it goes, but if this injury was so bad that it changed his performances from what they were from Aug-Feb to what they were Feb-May, why was he still playing. Surely the staff would have known it was his injury causing the form, so use common sense and use your number 2. That's what he's there for.

Went up for a punch... something pulls/twinges (either legs/back when jumping/moving or side/arms whilst punching) and throws off where his hand ends up? A centimeter can make all the difference between fine and horrendous... Also Granty seems to be a confidence player and so any niggles he has might affect that...I'm not in any way convinced by my own argument there btw... But saying it COULD be possible...

But saying it COULD be possible...He'd already made an error in that game for the first goal. And regardless of that being right or wrong, why's he gone to punch it anyway. Not only his execution of what he was trying to do was terrible, but his decision making also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always think Keepers and Forwards are the most affected by lack of confidence and small injuries... The Mids and Defence have enough ball time during the game to make sure that a few good touches or 5 good minutes can make a difference but Keepers and Forwards are more about those fleeting moments in front of (/in) goal which they may only get 3/4 times a game...Just a thought anyway... As I say... not overly convinced by the argument but just pontificating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Although this discussion is great can it be moved to a different thread? It's not even like this discussion is on the Carson thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even like this discussion is on the Carson thread.You're obviously new here... Part of the fun is seeing how far off topic we can get...Anyone watching the latest series of True Detective? I hear mixed reviews... Although I hear Liam Bridcutt is excellent in his role as "man who wanders past in background" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It's about this point in the thread that Joey Barton get's touted as the answer to our problems or not, as the case may be.). He doesn't seem to get a thread of his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 If Nigel Clough had have been given some more money and time to finish the job he'd have signed Bircdcutt by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
