Quote ="lefty goldblatt"Re Grix.
As I've said many times on here, I don't bad mouth ANY Wire player, so long as they put in the effort, and play consistently well. Grix does this, and more, so no gripes from me. I just don't get this hero worship when he has a very good game (which he obviously did last night)
Unfortunatley for Simon, he has a player who is better than him in every position he covers.
Grix is (atm) a squad player, who fills a number of positions very well.
It's up to him to improve his game so much, that Smith HAS to give him a regular starting jersey, thus displacing someone from the side when we're fully fit. I'm sure he's capable.
From memory, he hit the ground running in '06, then the injuries (and illness) hit home, then he was little hit and miss, and in the last season or so, he's been back to his best.
Good on him.
On the Sky MoM last night. They must've opened the sherry early on the gantry.'"
Well said, Lefty, especially the bit about bad mouthing Wire players.
