What do you base that comment on Martyn? Were you there, did you witness his lethargic performance? Are you in the know that perhaps he was suffering the after effects of flu or something. Let us in on your wisdom as to why it is 100% blx. You see, for us who were there it was 100% clear that he wasnāt putting a proper shift in for the period of the game that he was on the pitch and we were very close to that pitch.
I wasn't there to witness his latest display so cannot comment but Joel has been playing like this for several games.Fellow supporters in the Lyndhurst have also mentioned this at home games. Given a 50/50 ball Joel will give up most of the time be it closing down the opposition keeper,saving a corner ,going into a tackle etc he just gives up.
I see the Pasoti experts are out in force again. Heās has managed to score 5 goals this season. Think what he could achieve if he tried. Iām all for a bloke who was prepared to stand up and be counted and wanted to put right the wrongs of last season unlike most of our āstarā players who buggered off at the first opportunity.

I would like to see them partnered much less. They will not get us out of this League.
Could be so many reasons for this. Any of us who have ever played football will know the feeling of , for inexplicable reasons, not being able to get going on a game. Could be a virus, could be over training. Who knows.
I just canāt believe a professional footballer would not try in a game in front of 9,000 supporters. Especially Joel Grant who, by all accounts , is a positive influence in the dressing room ( at least).

There was a young guy and his girlfriend sitting behind me this afternoon. From their conversation it was pretty clear that the girlfriend wasn't exactly a regular and it might even have been her Home Park debut. Fair play to him, the guy was 'mansplaining' for all he was worth and identifying the players for her. When Joel Grant came on he was especially effusive in his praise and marked him out as someone to watch. His girlfriend seemed anxious to please and clearly made a mental note of Joel's name. So much so that when Conor Grant was standing on the touchline, ready to came on, and his name was announced she very sweetly asked her boyfriend, 'Oh, are they brothers?' It all went quiet for a while until it dawned on her... :funny:
