In Grant’s five away games we have got four points, relegation form of 0.8 pts per game, Martin.
Play him at home, bench him away. If only it were that simple.Martin Shaw wrote:part time pete wrote:There is no chance of winning away games when you are effectively playing with a man short with Grant on the pitch.

In Grant's five home games we have got fifteen points, title form of 3.0 pts per game, Pete.
You're picking him out, but he was no worse than Mellis, etc etc

Grant was discussing with the ref (probably saying Legge should be booked), but no discussion over who should take the penalty.

Jorge Grant loses possession of the ball 5 times in the first 10 minutes. We gave the ball away 37 times in the 1st half with Jorge Grant being the main culprit losing the ball 12 times followed by Neal Bishop and Will Tomlinson (5 each) although Neal Bishop won the ball back 4 times. Ryan Sweeney won the most defensive headers as is usually the case. Krystian Peace looked uncomfortable on the right hand side of defence and was beaten by Ricky Miller twice and Luke Hannant one for them to get crosses in. We only created the one chance which was the penalty although CJ Hamilton had a chance to get a shot in and Leon Legge nearly scores an own goal from a corner. We had 7 corners but never really threatened. Lincoln scored from 4 corners against Port Vale.

If we are playing with a back three then Krystian Pearce has to be in the centre and Ryan Sweeney on the left. However we have nobody who can play on the right in a back three as Hayden White and Matt Preston are injured. Krystian Pearce can do a job there but he does not look as comfortable when he is one on one with an attacker. However I thought Krystian Pearce was one of our better players at Port Vale along with Mal Benning.
As other fans have mentioned on here, if a back three does not work due to playing players out of position then we might as well go with a flat back four which we have ended up doing in both the Cheltenham and Port Vale games. That also allows us to play both Mal Benning and CJ Hamilton down the left and they generally play well together.
