    Liam Grimshaw and our midfiled

    NO one can argue Grimshaw’s first term Fir Park 2015–16 contributed to us staying up. In fact when sold Jan 2016 xfer window, our performances noticeably dropped. Therefore, now ask 2 years on, suggest our midfield would benefit him starting. IMO would compliment Campbell and we'd have TWO ‘terrier’ like midfielders disrupting opposition dominance and both capable to drive forward. I was delighted we'd secured him permanent basis. We will never know as Robinson prefers Rose (?) & McHugh (?)

    Grimshaw has played around dozen games this season and while I've nothing against him he has done little to suggest he'd make a significant regular improvement to our XI. And he's definitely not as good as McHugh as sitting in front of the defence to break up play. A better passer yes but tbh I wouldn't bet against you or I being a better passer than McHugh so that's obviously not Robinson's defining characteristic for the role.

    Pretty much this. He's a wholehearted player and thats all you can ask. However he hasn't made the same impact he did 2 seasons ago.

    Don’t think we can accommodate Campbell and Grimshaw in the same starting eleven as IMO they are two similar in style, and when they do play together it appears as if they don’t know what there roles are in the middle of the park. Both want to be on the A’s much as possible and when either of them isn’t involved as much as the other they then seem to disappear in the game .

    He’s not been given a chance to make an impact .. MFC website state had ONE start, remainder being a sub late on. With exception Campbell, we have no combative player in midfield and why we’re often overrun with ease. Many agree our midfield lacking and changes required.

    That's just wrong...even off the top of my head he started at Pittodrie, the cup final, Ibrox. And others I'm sure.
