What really impressed me today about him was how good his kicking was. Neve failed to clear a moving ball over the half way line. Needs signing in Jan.
I'm sure I heard them saying that Jack was back in training but still a fair way off.

Magnificent again. Commanded his area well and made some key saves.

Well worth a contract, he's earning it so far.

He's got real presence.
Looked an established keeper tonight.

How Derby pick Scott bloody Carson over big Lee Grant is laughable

How old is he? Is he at an age where back up to England's number one in the Premier league, on a very much improved deal, is accepted as a good career move?

Said to my Dad tonight that Grant has been key to our change in fortunes
He seems a confident lad who is determine to have one last shot at the big time and it shows
Not sure who 'unearthed' him but they get great kudos for it

Haven't seen it back but thought he was poor for there goal, goes straight through his hands. Other then that he was faultless with some big big saves to boot.

Bit too rooted to his line if I'm being critical but in the main he's been very good. Would have like to have seen him take the ball, Routledge and Bardsley clean out for their goal. Kicking is excellent.....

Rock solid again. I keep waiting for the big chink in the armour that's prevented him playing at the top level before to appear, but I haven't seen it so far. Long may it continue

I like the way he interacts with the team, always shouting to them and encouraging, we seem a lot more settled at the back since he joined us

Grant was a big plus for me tonight. I keep waiting for the fuck ups we were promised when we signed him but he looks better every game. There were a few shots tonight that bounced just in front of him that were very awkward but he dealt with themvery comfortably. Him and Bruno are the reason we've turned the corner without a doubt.

I think he has been a big part of our recovery from a crappy start, he isn't a Butland or Bego, but he is far better than what we had before he arrived, but still can't wait to get Butland back, we have really missed him and to be honest it has probably highlighted how ropey our defence is, we really need two new full backs....

Long may it continue The chink in his armour is his refusal to come for crosses and his inability to dominate his 6 yard box. Failing to come for the ball cost us 2 points against WBA and could have cost us a penalty tonight. He is easily our best option while Butland is injured but we will be greatly improved with a fit Jack Butland back in the side.

But his shot stopping is up there with Butland IMO and crikey just remember watching games through your hands when haugaard was in....

How was he not getting the Derby County team?? This is the million dollar question. The bloke looks a very good premier league keeper and he can't into a poor championship side. Did he have an attitude problem at Derby or something? Fell out with the manager? Fucked the chairmans wife?
