Yet another two shocking goals conceded by our two centre backs. Between them how many goals have they been at fault for this season, it dosnt bear thinking about, and thats any combination we seem to put out and not just yesterdays pair, comedians all of them. A major hunt to find big strong centre backs who lead by example. Where are the no nonsense Freeman and Banks types

Grimes is 27 years old and has no previous league experience. What made us think he could make the grade?
He's been poor all season
Wouldn't be surprised if he offered him another contract though......
Anyone who went to the preseason games could see how this season was going to go. The Peterborough game in particular where we shipped 5 embarassing goals should have had the alarm bells ringing Grimes in particular that day was pathetic and you could tell straight away he would be a liability.
Boyle could do a job at this level but he has to have a Steve Elliott/Alan Bennett type experienced defender with him to help organise. The spine of the team next year needs to be made up of experience hopefully a CB,CM,CF. Once you have that experience then you can add loans and youth to the team. Hopefully GJ has finally seen the light and realises this if we are to compete anywhere near the top half next season.

Completely agree with this.
The other important factor is the experienced centre back needs to be right footed. Whilst Grimes has made one too many mistakes it's often when he's on the right and gets tangled up when trying to clear with his left foot (when should use his right)
You can see the same with the second goal and Boyle doing exactly the same!

Im like ben2 i think boyle is poor as well he has made many mistakes which have led to goals this season. We need two strong centre backs with experience to go along with forster, and Bower should be the young 4th CB as he has yet to tried and tested at first team level

A few on here have been saying all season that Grimes is in trouble when he plays right side but the Manager has reverted to this so many times.

Four CBs needed in the squad.Robin wrote:When were these really good games? Assuming Mullins then I really can’t see why we would even consider keeping Grimes. Mullins, Boyle, Forster and you would hope Bower would all be ahead of him.

No Grimes is a reason to renew your season tickets by itself
