I can scarcely remember Dan conceding a goal before yesterday after making a mistake. I was much more concerned by his conceding Brizzie’s second, as I am still trying to work out how it ended up in the net. Granted that it was a fierce shot, and also it was not from that far out, but the angle was acute . That should not have got past him ! I’ve watched it numerous times and just can’t see why he didn’t stop it. Was he too near to his post, did it take a deflection ? I don’t think that he had mentally recovered when the free kick came in later, and I wonder if he will be in good mental shape for t’Rovers. Apples will have noted his faux pas, and I would not be surprised if he was given the night off.

Have a day off pal
 
It was just a good finish from their player to be able to skew it back across goal like that. Grimmy obviously has his momentum shifting towards the near post leaving the far post, albeit with a small window, vulnerable.

I`m not sure even the Messiah could make him see the light on Grimmy.

He is a high class keeper whom we are very lucky to have. Even the greatest are allowed the occasional mistake.
 
He won’t be given the night off, but he was disappointed conceding the 2nd. There were a couple last season from tight angles on the opposition right, into the far corner. I can recall Bournemouth’s winner at home.

The 3rd was a clever free kick, and as he reacted the ball moved on the air, and we were unlucky from there.

He’s a class keeper and arguably the best we’ve had.

Are you still wanting to drive Bowler somewhere for nothing?

Your opinion on footballers is absolutely clueless.

He made a mistake, he’s a keeper it happens.

Not a chance. Get him back in on Wednesday, he’ll be fine.

First mistake he’s made, he’s been absolutely top class

No doubt pelters will come my way but Grimshaw has conceded 6 in two games. No-one should become so comfortable that they can afford to feel irreplaceable. Rest him for a couple of games and take it from there.

Drop the whole defence then as well shall we?

Or is it just the keepers fault?

Talk me through what he could have saved at Burnley? I’ll help you, none of them.

Do you remember his save late on?

I don’t know if people are on the wind-up or just actually brain dead.

Now now. They weren't just the keeper's fault and I made that clear on the matchday thread. But the goalkeeper is a very specialised position. Keeping it fresh is important.
 
I was stunned when it went into the net from that angle. I think that it was still on his mind. Let’s all hope it Ian’s on Wed.
 
I’m all honesty I don’t believe it was an error from Grimmy and was a bit surprised when Appleton also stated it was his error for the goal.

Before the free kick was taken he was positioned correctly for a dangerous floated ball into the box as the likely hood of the Naismith doing what he did from that range was highly unlikely.

With that in mind I just had to doff my cap to Naismith’s spur of the moment audacity and skill in getting that much power and swerve in the ball, so much so that even when Grimmy managed to get across to it he couldn’t get a telling punch on it to get it out of the danger area.

Hats off to the Naismith in this one, no real criticism of Grimmy for me.
 
I didn’t blame him for that one, but keepers are coached to protect the near post, rather than anticipate where it might go. He took a chance, and was undone by the quality of the strike.

Our ineffective one man wall didn't help Grimmy, as it obstructed his sight & invited the direct shot.
But I suppose it's up to him to put more in it.
The ball moved like an exocet missile tracking it's target!

I like Grimmy , but the best we've had .... come on!
 
The free kick goal the wall was a hindrance rather than a help, with hindsight having only one person was a mistake and it just blocked his view,
it would have been better to have an extra person in the wall and create more of an obstacle, Josh Bowler also turned away from the ball when it was struck rather than sticking a foot out didn't help. Grimshaw is still learning and will hopefully get better, but his lack of height like Maxwell doesn't allow him any room for error with his positioning.
 
I not getting into blaming Grimmy for anything even if Appleton thinks differently, that's for the coaching staff to analyse and put right. But.....
If Maxwell wants first team football then we should be after a young up and coming keeper with plenty of potential, 18 to 21 from one of the top clubs and groom him to hopefully be the first team keeper in years to come.
He could be coached in the development team,
With all the young left backs etc we are scouting I am very surprised we haven't landed a very promising young goalkeeper.

Keep it fresh and change the keeper every few games when we concede despite who's at fault. The hallmark to a solid foundation.
Jesus wept 🤦‍♂️
 
Grimmy was found wanting for goals 2 and 3. Hes a decent young keeper though so hope he turns into a solid goalie for us long term.

Here you go

You might want to try this because, quite honestly, you need to find a clue somewhere
 
Probably his worst game for us yesterday that I’ve seen but I think he’s allowed one he’s been outstanding since his debut at Forest.

Grow up!
 
How can Grimshaw even be questioned, he's the best goalkeeper we've ever had.

Our fans need to just wind it in slating players like Grimmy/Bowler, we'd never in a million years be able to buy players as good as them at their current level.

He is our first choice without a doubt but best we’ve ever had? Either you are very young or have selective amnesia.

As I've posted, he's let in six goals in two games. Let's have some proper competition for the shirt.

There’s 10 players in front of him who share the responsibility for that.

When Grimshaw first came into the team he was brilliant and Critchley brought Maxwell back after injury and he was poor. Grimshaw came back in and was brilliant again and has won us points on numerous occasions.

He didn’t have the best game on Saturday but I really can’t see the logic in dropping him for Maxwell now.

John Burridge, George Wood , and by far the best , Tony Waiters.

I can remember Wood letting one in through his legs against Hull City 1973? perhaps he should have been dropped. 😵‍💫
the question the op has to answer is, have you ever made a mistake, and what were the consequences?
Thinking about it, perhaps Marvin should go in the sin bin also for his unavoidable own goal. we can't be having any mistakes by our players now, can we?🙄

Kingzobo is clueless. He's just sad lonely wum, keyboard warrior who no-one knows and posts simply to get a re-action. Grimshaw had a poor game on saturday, that's all most fans have said but he's been excellent since he got his place in the team.
 
I think he’s better than Gilks, probably the best I’ve seen in 30 years supporting Pool barring Joe Hart. Did love Stevie Banks too but I can’t remember him that well.

One or two posters appear to get a buzz out of criticising our players.
Recently the unfair criticisms (IMO) have been aimed at Josh, Grimmy, Jordan Gabriel, Gaz & Marv (& probably others if I looked). These are Championship players, not PL internationals and they're not going to perform 10/10 every week.
Some newly signed players have drawn criticism, before they've even kicked a ball!

name a better keeper? Possibly Gilks I guess but I genuinely don't think so.

I think it has been said earlier in the thread but Banks in my view, and going back certainly John Burridge, George Wood and Tony Waiters (by reputation as I cannot remember him playing).
