Will we keep Grimmy?

[Nuttalls Mint Toes]

The only player who is not on loan who I think shows any potential in our side.
I realised today as much as I dislike Critchley, and clearly he has to shoulder a lot of the blame, most of our players are poor.

Toes amidst the Critchley out posts I have asked about the ability and commitment of quite s few of our players

 

[Kyle Seasider]

I do put most of the blame at Critchleys feet and I think if we had another manager we would have got play offs. However I also recognise that the players haven't stepped up, in fact most have taken a step backwards.

Is that 100% on the players or is it also something to do with playing an a formation that doesn't suit us and sitting on the back foot rather than playing attacking football when our best players are in attack. I think it's likely the latter.

That being said, I wouldn't mind if most of the squad was let go or sold in the summer and we bring in alot of fresh faces. I still maintain though that it doesn't really matter who we bring in player wise if Critchley is still our manager.

I don't think Grimmy has progressed as much as I thought he would. The basics he was good at he's getting better, but is he adding commanding his area and being a leader?

I think the players are a bit resigned to the selections, tactics and who know's what else. I don't think they are happy with it all despite the public comments some make that are designed not to get fined.

I think Grimmy is a good shot stopper but generally poor / under pressure on crosses and set pieces. His distribution is often slow and poor in terms of bring our strikers into play.

He’s as good as we’re going to get in league one

He brought most of them in at one time or another.

For me Grimmy is a top 10 lg1 keeper and nothing more. He is a great shot stopper but does not command his area or catch any crosses whatsoever for reasons I cannot fathom why. If he left would it weaken us? I would say no as there are plenty of other comparable keepers out there.

If I was Grimshaw or Gabriel I'd be trying to engineer a move. Pool are a dead duck under Sadler & Critchley so any half decent player should want out.

Have a listen to the ungracious tvvat on Grimmy today in the thread.

yep agree with that. Don't think he's good enough to go much higher in his career. Lower league championship at best.

Does not command his area on set pieces putting defenders under big pressure.

I'd just want to get away from CJ!

 

[SeasideTizz]

We’ll be lucky to keep hold of Grimmy and Gabriel imo.

OR …. They show them what can be achieved and raise fhe bar to keep them?

I am certain Gabriel won't be playing for us next season - and sadly we won't get anything like his true value as his performances have deteriorated so much under Critchley.

Not a criticism but surely all our players would want out if they received a better offer ?

They've all got a better chance of getting better offers if they are better for us while they are here.

Grimmy is decent at this level but then so is O'Donnell who I have been reasonably impressed with
