Single shot in defeat
Grimes had one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Manchester City.
Analysis: Grimes didn't really get much done during Saturday's loss. The midfielder couldn't get involved in the center of the park as City's quality just proved to be too much to handle for Grimes. This is one of the toughest matches on the schedule, so it should get easier from here for Grimes and co.
Delivers seven crosses
Grimes recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Hull City.
Analysis: Grimes was heavily involved in Coventry's creative play, taking four corners and delivering a team-high seven crosses while also attempting one shot. Only one of his crosses was accurate, but his set-piece responsibilities give him a consistent route to creating opportunities. His passing range and ability to dictate possession from deeper areas should keep him central to Coventry's attacking structure throughout the campaign.
