Grimes is a serious player.
If we can get a ball winning midfielder to do the ugly stuff alongside him, then he will flourish.
Agreed. He never shy's away from the ball. Even when everyone else is disappointing, he's dropping deep and asking for the ball trying to make things tick in the middle of the park.
If we had OPTA stats at this level, you'd see he'd be the player with the most touches/most passes/most possession every single game. If Grimes was our player, and Crooks was the loanee... We'd be issuing the blame towards Crooks in my opinion. Absolutely quality player, and seems like a vastly upgraded League One version of Byrom.
