When he came on against Cheltenham there was a total lack of effort to chase or close down on there defenders. If this is how he wants to represent himself and Argyle then i hope he does not play another game for us!

Joel Grant - Lack of effort

See I like Joel Grant but a mate of mine who is into his football, and played a fairly decent level back in the day, text me during the Rovers game which he was watching on BT sport and said almost the same thing. His words were "needs a rocket up his arse".
I hope it's just a blip

Like Joel but he looked slow and laboured when he came on at Cheltenham. Just couldnāt run. Couldnāt get going.

Heās certainly got the look of someone whoās not quite with it. Iām not convinced heās an out and out striker anyway, heās more suited to a wide position but his final ball always seems poor.
At the start of the season I thought he was doing really well but for a good few weeks now I think heās not been on his A game and seems laboured, shame as he stayed here when he could have left in the summer.

Yes was a very odd performance,he seemed very slow to move and only got quicker when the fans were shouting at him to chase the ball

Grant started the season as our first choice striker and scored 5 goals before the end of October, I thought he and Moore where our best strikers during the early games of the season but in recent weeks he's been a bit part player who looks so disinterested and disillusioned.
His body language against Cheltenham was all wrong and he didn't exactly fight for the cause.
Maybe he's off in January which would be a shame because he was one of the few players who wanted to stay in the summer and put right the shambles from last season.

Were you at Cheltenham?Martyn":3mjdqvqo said:
His apparent lack of interest and commitment when we could not keep the ball up the other end in the last 15 minutes was noticed by a number of Argyle fans. Telford was at least trying but not getting much joy because of the poor delivery up to him and the size of their CBs. Grant just look disinterested and apart from not winning the ball and holding it up, he needlessly ran into an offside position at least 3 times. He was lazy, both in mind and body. The Cheltenham defenders were able to bring the ball out and start attacks with ease because they were not be being pressurised.
Fans are not stupid, they know when a player is not giving his all.
I remember his miss when 1 on 1 with the keeper against Bradford at home.. would of put us 3-0 up. He had a shocker and put it straight at the keeper.
Hasnāt looked the same since.

Ryan Lowe went absolutely ape at him after another of his effortless runs had caught him offside again. Whether heās carrying an injury or trying to make sure he doesnāt get one ahead of a potential move in January I donāt know, but one has to have suspicions when such a lack of effort is so obvious. So, sorry Martyn, itās not blx it was the evidence in front of 1200 green sets of eyes.
Every supporter is entitled to his opinion, Martyn and Budock is clearly not the only one who has noticed Joelās attitude in recent games.Martyn":zy77lfkr said:
Joel is not showing the level of commitment and energy that he showed early last season before he got injured or, indeed, earlier in this season.
Forming that opinion does not warrant your suggestion that Budock should ātry supporting another clubā.
