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.

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


Yep, perfectly rational responses here. 2 x 45 min appearances in July friendlies vs League One and Northern Premier Division One East opposition is pretty much the optimum gauge of a player's ability.

Yes they are completely rational, he didn't impress either of us during his brief appearances during preseason. Not everything has to be happy clapper friendly (Maybe Rob should create a Happy Clapper safe space hmmmm) we can say say negative things about players/club/staff where its applicable. I even said at the end of my comment "I hope this was just because it was preseason"


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

Joel Grant isn't a striker...

Quoted from HerveJosse


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


45 mins in a pre season friendly to date are grounds for pessimism.
As I said, hope to be proved wrong.

If the Happy Clapper safe space is away from those that are frothing at the mouth because a new signing didn't bang a hattrick in in the first four minutes of pre-season then sign me up.

We're hardly frothing at the mouth. We both just said he hadn't impressed in the short time when we saw him, say in coomparison to Essell who I only saw for about 10 mins in total preseason who did impress me, you know offering a different view in a conversation on a chat board. After all if we all had the same view there'd be nothing to chat about and no need for the fishy. Just another over reaction by the happy clappers to the tiniest thing that isn't completely, totally, wholly and thoroughly positive.
