It was said before the season started that it was sh it or bust for Max with regards his injuries.

I only mentioned Grant because he has been missing since pre-season with no return anytime soon.


But what is your point? It's almost as if physical injury is an occupational hazard in professional sport eh. Do you think we would send someone to St George's Park if they were twagging?

So it's "give Max a chance" even though he only played a small number of times last season and has struggled from injuries since pre season, came off the bench and got injured again but "get rid in January" for Joel who just got here. Grant played 22 times last season in League One with 20 of those in league games. Max hobbled on to just 6 league appearances and 2 cup appearances. All evidence points to Max being far more injury prone season by season and you still stop short of putting the same pressure on him by saying he should go in January if he can't get fit and play consistently.

Give him the treatment he needs and the recovery and rehab. That way, when he does return, we will get the best out of him. Nothing worse than rushing a player back too early.

We need to be patient.

The person most p1ssed off by this I imagine, will be Grant himself.

He's been described as a hard grafting team player by fans of previous cubs; the type Hurst goes for in fact. I bet he can't wait to get fit and firing in a winning team with an excellent crowd behind him.

Doesn't strike me as either a shirker or injury prone, rather just a player who is currently injured.

Would it have been any different had he played a few games before he got injured?

If memory serves, Wayne Burnett was chronically injured post his 1998 heroics. Slightly odd that the OP should forget that.

Then again, the OP is slightly odd.

I posted a couple of weeks ago when I met him on Cleethorpes seafront…..
He was gutted he was injured……said he pushed himself too hard to get back and made it worse. He wasn’t offering to say what the injury was.
You could see he was desperate to prove himself and was amazed at the support the team have.
Came across as a genuinely good guy….,

I forgot we had him to come in too. Happy days. I think he will be too good for this league.

I think that sweeping statement covers the majority of members on here, including most certainly your good self.


2/10. Have another go.

Why do people think players (ie people with bills like everyone else) can be ‘released’ during their contract? We’re all town, I’m sure he doesn’t want to be injured and wants to be out there doing what he does.
