My expectations of Grant have been zero, based on the only 45min glimpse of him in that Rotherham (?) Pre season friendly and the fact he sunk without a trace at half time.

It's now November and we still havnt seen him other than in photos or videos, usually stood next to Scannel, his treatment room buddy.

I just don't see him figuring or featuring at all, should he return he won't be match fit, and given the length of lay off and age I can envisage a stop start niggly injury remainder of the season.

We need his type back to bolster the attacking options and I hope he does return and does exactly that.. along with Scannel ...but I just don't see it happening.

Hope to be proved wrong.

The person who signed Matt Green did runner. The person who signed Joel Grant is still here. Enough said.

A bit pessimistic on someone with nearly 500 career games . Thirty Four year olds do get injured and have longer out but if you can get 25 games out of a quality older player at this level it’s well worthwhile . I am sure Hurst would have taken his fitness / injury record into account before bringing him in. Taylor may be no different by the time we reach season end. Scannell has a more persistent track record of time out and isn’t a Hurst signing

Worth noting that Grant and Taylor played together at Plymouth too.

I'm not expecting much to be honest the few bits we have seen of him preseason left me very underwhelmed if I'm honest, I'm hoping that was just because it was preseason of course


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

1 goal every 5 games compared to 1 goal every 6 games  

It doesn't make for pretty reading
