I’m assuming the obvious in terms of Grant bring released. His attitude and form were so poor, that it’s hard to think that any manager on the planet would retain him.
Interesting because if you compare us with Solihull for example our 'ultra defensive' approach apparently allowed 234 shots on target while theirs allowed only 89 (if we believe FBREF). A rough average of 5 shots a game and 21 clean sheets is not so bad for me.
regarding Grant I just wanted to establish that you were assuming - which is never a problem just defines its authenticity.
