One completed cross in 1-0 loss
Grimes recorded one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 loss versus Fulham.
Analysis: Grimes was unable to help his side get a goal as they lost out 1-0 to Fulham. He created one chance in the game, his third time this season and completed a cross for the fourth time this year. Grimes made four clearances in the game, his most on any occasion this season.
Sees drop in set-piece numbers
Grimes has been a consistent midfield option during the 2026/27 season, recording four shots, 17 crosses and two chances created over five starts.
Analysis: Grimes is an ever-present member of his side's midfield, but he has yet to score or assist, and has lost corner and free kick duties to Jack Rudoni in the last couple of games. The 31-year-old will continue to provide experience and ground duel strength in a central position, though he may not be very reliable for offensive contributions in upcoming action if he continues to focus on tackling and ball distribution.
