The disrespect to Chris Maxwell is poor.

His 2 mistakes are the flap from the corner then they hit the bar and the the pen that killed the game, the save was a bit unfortunate but its not like he hasn't pushed into danger before from far lesser shots. But I don't blame him for that goal, it was weak play elsewhere.

You seem to have it in your head I hate the bloke, he's done well for us, just there's no consistency in how Appleton dropped grimmy and not him, plus he just isn't as good a keeper, marginal in most areas maybe but those margins add up.

I'd mention mistakes Grimshaw makes just as much if he was in. Infact I've openly said before ideally we'd have a big keeper who can collect from crosses and because of his size makes saves you wouldn't expect the average keeper to make.

ah right, fair enough. None of them are good enough at opposition corners.
 
What about Stuart Moore …… made a great save last year coming on as sub for Maxwell . Big tall strong lad who comes from a family goalkeeping background . Not sure of his current form but perhaps worth a punt

Grimmy tends to punch more from all crosses. Corners are not Maxwells strength imo. His strengths for me is his experience and communication. Apart from that I think Grimshaw is slightly better at everything.

He is a good size and made that 1 good save, but there must be a reason successive managers don't pick the guy, even in cup games.

As he has the size so if he has the positioning and decision making, he'd be great.

But he's never picked so who knows.

Insider said he does well in some dev games and looks good.

You keep replying to my posts so we end up in discussion.

I havent said anything unfair about him on this thread. He made 2 errors yesterday, Grimmy made 1 in the fabled Rotherham game that people love to use to for his errors.

Based on some of his selections, I'm not sure the managers judgement is all that good right now.

If the manager is being fair, maybe he would drop Maxwell the same as he did Grimshaw when mistakes are made. But probably not as he apparently told him to f off so he's on his naughty list. Where Dougall for some reason seems to be too.

What two errors? The penalty certainly, but what was the other?

He flapped from the corner and didn't deal with the ball, palming it back into play for their player to hit the bar. He should have dealt with that better.

You can’t keep defending him …… excuse after excuse. He let a direct corner in the other week ….. doesn’t command his area and when he tries he gives away penalties. He lost the captains armband so he’s obviously not a natural leader . Time to move on .
Problem we have is Appleton either has his favourites , holds grudges or bullied ……. Just ask Jerry Yates and I couldn’t blame either Jerry or Grimmy wanting a move in the transfer window
 
I’m going to have to bang on about football not being as simple as some on here think again. We’re struggling at the moment and having to deal with game problems that we didn’t in our promotion season and less last season too when things were working between Ekpiteta and uncle Richard. IMO both are perfectly good championship goalkeepers. I think there are better out there and certainly worse. They both look less good than they did when the team was doing well, and that’s not cos they’re “not championship quality”. Grimshaw certainly looks like he could be a prem keeper, but at the moment I understand why he’s picking Max.

IMO.

Grimshaw: more athletic and prepared to come off his line more.
Maxwell: better communicator and quick distributor.

Agree apart from quick distributor, he can do but at time also takes too long.

Grimshaw has played out quickly too, I'm hard pressed to notice a difference between them thinking back on that one.

But the more athletic is key to me, it means quicker reactions and he saves more shots in and around him, more likely to get to a shot too.

This guy was player of the year during our promotion season.

Cast your minds back to last season when he got injured, the overwhelming emotion was sh*t we are going to miss him. Grimmy came in and did an outstanding job and kept the number 1 for this season. He did well at times this season, but did have a couple of dodgy moments. Swapped in Maxwell and he has also done well at times and had a couple of dodgy moments.

Really, I see little difference between the two this season, but can certainly sympathise with the argument that Grimmy should play because he is younger and likely to be worth money in the future.

I just don't get the pure hatred to some of our own players by some. Of course he made an error for the penalty, but there were some trying to claim it was his fault for the 1st - ridiculous.

GK is the least of our problems

I don’t hate him but he’s no longer our best keeper

Player of the Year was when ?

You’ll be saying Lloris is World Class which he clearly isn’t !

Maxi for Spurs then

That's the problem - if Max didn't have someone better in the squad he wouldn't probably get any flack but the fact is Grimshaw is a better keeper.

The original post says 'everyone else' can't

Personally id go Grimmy but it divides opinion, it's certainly not as cut and dried as you're making it out.

but don't let that get in the way of another dig at the manager.......I'd suggest there's plenty of stuff to criticise ATM without making things up.
