The 20-year-old has been in good form for the Blues' second string all season, bagging seven goals so far. Paul Sturrock's side are currently fifth in Division Two and will be looking for Ashley to help them secure a play-off spot at the very least. Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Rich Pullen on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:29:53 So that's no signings eh, Fatbury?
Welcome Grimey, if all is signed, sealed and delivered. Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:32:28 Why only a month though? If he bangs in the goals in that month and then we lose him for the run in we'll be back to square one won't we?

Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Batch on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:33:27 My only concern is that we have 2 players here for just a month. What if we get to the playoffs? I suppose some strengthening is better than none.
Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: DerbyRed on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:33:56 I would guess we've got the option to extend the loan?
You see a lot of loans start of as 1 month, then quickly turn into 2 or 3 months! Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Samdy Gray on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:34:12 I suppose the loans can always be extended, no?

Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Power to people on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:35:29 Suppose it may be a case of taking him with a view to longer if he is any good but don't want to keep him longer if he is crap

Did Macari actually sign him on loan when he first came to Swindon? I've a feeling he did :shock: Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: kaufman on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:36:56 Quote from: "Bob's Orange" Quote from: "sam_stfc" Premiership reserve team player though, he'll be different gravy. 8) Looks a bit old to me!! http://www.sporting-heroes.net/football-heroes/displayhero_club.asp?HeroID=914 I bloody knew i knew that name from somewhere before :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Power to people on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:36:56 Still no winger though....if we can't create chances then it is no good getting strikers
Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:37:03 hmmmm, my previous post about Grimes's age was a joke, however this is worrying!!

Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Power to people on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:39:41 What you mean his nationality :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Blimey I knew Sturrock wanted experience but....

Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Barnard on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:45:29 Quote from: "Power to people" Still no winger though....if we can't create chances then it is no good getting strikers We're going to have to rely on using some of the personnel we already have to fill that slot. Roberts could be a decent right winger, so could Weston. They just need to get their heads out of the arses, accept they aren't going to play in their preferred positions and start putting the ball on Corr's head. We'll win on Sunday with Grimes scoring from a Corr knockdown header from a Roberts cross. :nod: Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: genf_stfc on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 16:45:46 that HAS to be the BBC making an arse of it, doesn't ?!! There can't be a professional footballer thats 49 anywhere... can there ?!

Title: Ashley Grimes Post by: Spud on Thursday, March 22, 2007, 19:37:42 I asked a City fan what this Grimes fella is like and all he came back with was:-
I'm not sure but theres a few lads on the city forum who go to reserve and youth games so I have asked them then he came back with..... Rated very highly and will be missed by the reserves but the 1st team experience will do him good!

He's scored in each of the last two reserve games, against Everton & Wigan, so sounds like he's on form.
