Grimshaw’s the future and ultimately will get us a decent transfer fee - so long as we play him. He’ll go for next to nothing if he continues to warm the bench.
Plus he’s the better keeper too imo.

It doesn’t really matter they’re both good keeper’s, we should be more concerned with our defence at the moment, that’s pretty much all I have to say on the matter as I’m off to bed, got the get up early tomorrow for my psychiatrist to evaluate my state of mind, stuarts decent at his job but would be better if he went full time as a psychiatrist instead of trying to hold down his other part time job as third choice keeper

If you cast your mind back to the start of the season Grimshaw was keeping us in games, of late Maxwell has been losing us games.

Yeah, and so he was replaced by Grimshaw who guess what? Lost us games. Or have you forgotten Millwall and Rotherham away?

Whilst I would prefer Grimshaw I don’t think you can really put too much blame on Maxwell since he’s come in.
Let’s look at some of the dross in front of him at times especially our captain Ekipeta who has been absolutely woeful this season and a liability for starters.
Too easy to blame Maxwell for everything though isn’t it.

I don’t think fans are blaming Maxwell for everything , but he has contributed to the poor run. Not commanding his area, being glued to his goal line, flapping his arms like a demented tic tac man. And you yourself said you prefer Grimshaw, take a step back and come to a logical conclusion.

Currently feel Grimmy is the better keeper. What Maxwell bought to the table for the last two seasons was organisational and motivating skills. It was less needed last season with crazy uncle Richard doing the same more effectively, and I think he lost it a bit.
We are very lucky to have both, just like the strikers, they need a good run of form.

Grimmmy by a country mile, Maxy is L2 at best.

Maxwell has been a good keeper but he's getting on a bit now. Grimshaw is the future but is he a future PL keeper? Nah, really don't think so.

Whilst I agree, one has no potential sale value and the other quite a bit. If there's little to choose between the 2 you go with your financial head, ignoring MA and not being money minded as such.

doesn't catch the ball, will concede too many corners
Look forward to coming back to this comment.

It’s interesting to see the different approaches to dressing room management. Critchley initially had issues with the older established players who predated him at the club, whereas Appleton seems to value the older heads and prefers them in the team.

Were you there today? Noticed a lot of your fellow west standers didn't bother..

Before the game, I would have preferred Grimmy to regain his place
But credit where it's due, Maxwell had a very good game today.
In the last 20 minutes he made two excellent saves. Firstly he raced off his line (yes really) and gathered the central through ball before their forward could get a toe to it. Secondly he narrowed the angle and closed down a chance from a through ball in their inside left position. The forward got his shot in, but Maxwell saved at point blank range to keep us in it
. He got a bit of stick for not launching attacks quicker but I felt he didn't have many options, and decided to keep possession instead. Connolly deserved the mom, but Maxwell came close imo.

Don’t mind. Neither of them are top draw in my opinion
Part timers. Made a few good saves but argues with fans in the south too much, snowflake.

If you were in the South I suggest you should shut the fuck up when criticising the West, Because the South didn'r even look a quarter full.

The defence in front of him have been poor and yes fans are blaming Maxwell.
I think they are on a par with Grimmy having the advantage of youth

I agree, good game, but that is not really the point. Appleton has shown his unsuitability by his stubbornness on this issue.
On this point alone if I was Simon I'd sack him.

Why is not an excellent goal keeping performance enough?
I hope Simon remains as stubborn as Appleton to the mass hysteria

Just a little bump on this one. When was the last time we actually kept a clean sheet and surely this has to play a part in the decision making?

Thing is Grimshaw is young and can be taught these things. Maxi is not in that position.

Grimshaw for me but you have to ask yourself why is both Appleton and McCarthy both opted for Maxi? I suspect it is due to experience but maybe he just looks better in training?

Why on earth would anyone want to give Moore a go?
He’s 28 years old…
Has never featured in a full Championship game, has played only 4 league 1 games and 20+ at L2 level!!!
He’s essentially a Non-League keeper, who’s here for emergencies.

Experience and clearly Maxi is a big and talkative character / leader. Some managers like it as it gives them a voice on the pitch, some think it undermines them.

I’d have given him a go on Saturday on our free hit day. A taller capable keeper can be on our future shopping list I’d guess. Otherwise I can’t choose between Max & Grimshaw.
