Was it Grix or Matty : Mon Feb 16, 2009 2:19 pm  

I'm not having a go at either but which one knocked on. Me and those around me thought it was Grix but the LE says it was Blaymire?

The report in LE is very complimentary by the way.

Definitely Grix, should have been Blaymires ball really but I presume Grix called it his with the way he came steaming on to it

Surely if it had been Blaymire there would’ve been a thread berating him already!?!

Was Grix that knocked on but Blaymire should have called for it, as Grix had to run 20/25 yards for it while Matty B was about 10 yards away. Therefore Matty B has to take the blame but he more then made up for it in other areas of the game on friday.

Can't go for that. Now I'm sure it was Grix I'm certain he steamed in and shouted it. I suspect he was eager to run it back and find a gap, great if it had worked.

Can't see how you can blame Blaymire for Grix overconfidence. Anyway he will live and learn, if it's Blaymires ball let him take it, he's good at it.

If Grix called for it,the blame is solely with him.
What was Blaymire supposed to do - tell him "no im going for it,you can have a dabble at the next one"

It looked like Grix from where I was stood.
It looked like Grix on the RL feature last night on Sky
In the second half when leeds we restarting the were kicking towards Grix.


so I too was baffled by RLE this morning????

I'm sure it was GRIX tbf.

He did have to come a long way to get it and it be fair to the lad, no one else seemed to give a monkeys. he was the only one that made any effort, unfortunately for him he didn't get to it and the rest is history.

I believe we put Matty B under the post for a reason at the kick off, and thats to claim anything that comes in his "zone". When you watch the video again you'll see that Matty B doesnt move while Grix is aware of the type of Kick off and reacts to get in postion as soon as possible. Like you said Grix should have left the ball for Blaymire, but if he doesnt get in postion and make a shout for the ball its pretty hard just to leave him to it......
