Chris Mills Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Grant is fine as a backup keeper. Don't get why everyone is moaning, he isn't our number 1 and you're not going to get anyone better to come to the club and sit on the bench so accept that he will be here. If shackell isn't back it's a worry as someone said above, we will have the same defence as last year which was a disaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Ram Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 17 hours ago, Shang said: Clement mentioned that he wanted more attacking options on the bench, so put Shotton on since he can cover more than one position and free up spaces for other players. He'd more than likely get Pearce in should Shackell not be able to play. Really don't get that - surely being attacking we'd have had one of the forwards from the u21s on the bench, rather than one of the 4 defensive players of Baird, Shotton, Hanson & Thorne (having an extra forward on the bench is the only marginally picky thing I'd like to change at the moment - it's not bad when the only thing to complain about is the bench line up!!) It is typical the one time Pearce isn't on the bench though one of the CBs gets crocked. Lets wrap Shackell up in cotton wool till we've got an auto place secured!

harryram Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Really hope shacks back I know someone said shacks wouldn't have prevented the first goal but personally I think he would have. Where grant come out to punch the ball(sorry flapped at it) that's where shacks would have been and personally think grant would have stayed on his line knowing that shackell don't loose headers.

RicME85 Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Say he isnt available for Boro. Im just informing that he is actually back in training. Absolutely zero to read into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 'Do nothing' was the argument last season. that was why we failed to achieve the play offs. And that was a major factor in everyone losing their jobs. fortunately mel came to the rescue. if we are ambitious then we have to weed out the weak links and replace with better players. i'd be amazed if we want to risk making the same mistake twice.

Watch him, his positional sense is amazing and he is constantly helping Keogh out with his. He wasn't there for the 2 Leeds goal, it doesn't happen if he's on the pitch IMO Johnson is NOT a holding midfielder. Hasn't got the discipline or work rate. His attributes are better suited further forward. First against Pompey. Ok, was only the Capital one carling cup or whatever, but shacks was on the pitch although i don't think it was his man who got the header in and Granty was right behind it untuil he threw it into the corner of the goal. Still - Shacks was there and it was a header than went in..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PL teams have better third keeper than our second best. It really shouldn't be so. And about the goal... as Grant hasn't played a lot, he had to make 5 errors in few seconds just to make up the lost time. That's the only good explanation I've managed to make. I bet neutral fans are having hilarious time watching that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
