Grimmy

[Waiters' Flat Cap]

Any word on the seriousness of his injury?

I was close to the dugout and tunnel and he seemed to gesture to Critch that he was fine and that it was nothing serious when he walked off and Critch didn't appear too concerned as a result. Grimmy sat in the dugout afterwards and appeared to have it strapped up - hopefully just a precaution.

O'Donnell are worthy replacement but hopefully he's good to play.

I think post match Critch said his arm felt tingly and he'd lost power in it. Sounds like my arm after a nurse caught a nerve in my arm. Few days rest maybe.

Update from Critch:

"He’s going to be touch-and-go for Bristol Rovers, but he’s improved,” he said.

"If you’ve ever suffered a dead leg, it’s like a dead arm. It’s just a contact injury so he lost a little bit of power and feeling. We’ll give him as long as we can.

"He was really brave going into the challenge, and he obviously came off worse. You could see the bruising and the swelling had come up on Thursday but that has settled down significantly, so we’re hopeful for this weekend, and then we’re more than hopeful for next Saturday.”

Critchley also had positive news concerning two of his attacking players. Kylian Kouassi has been out of action since November due to a hamstring problem, while Jake Beesley suffered a blow in the Seasiders’ final outing of 2023 away to Port Vale.

"Kylian is starting to join in full in training which is positive news- he went for a scan on Tuesday which gave him the all-clear,” the Blackpool boss added.

“Jake Beesley is out of his boot and walking around. He’s in good spirits and hopefully we can start stepping him up next week.”

I'm not worried as O’Donnell looks very competent so far.

Loved seeing him up the pitch taking on Forest too.

Please , no repeats !!!

Give him a rest to fully recover.
O'donnell deserves his chance. Decent keeper!

Well, hopefully not as it means we're chasing the game with no time to go.

But it's always funny to see a keeper up the pitch.

Ive felt this season that O' Donnell could be better than Grimshaw. Can only see that if he gets a few games.

Grimmy isn't too far away according to the Gazette story. He's got the equivalent of a dead leg aka "dead arm".

Isn't that what they did on the Inbetweeners!

Grimmy has travelled with the squad.

Put Grimmy on the bench, no-brainer.

Should be fit as it was only his ego that was hurt according to the highly knowledgeable Lucy Ward.

Sometimes away from home we've lacked leaders when things are going against us. Norburn & Husband bring that I think O'Donnell being very vocal is another one. Grimmy sometimes looks like a school kid when he concedes.
