Robins said he had no idea on Grimmer's, but thought that maybe Stokes was just a tweak.any idea how long these two will be out for? What I’ve read and heard they don’t appear to be tears and just strains/pulls which indicates 3/4 weeks?
We’re screwed if we have anymore injuries.... it’s getting ridiculous now.

I don’t agree with anything you just said.It’s not ridiculous we haven’t been anymore or less unlucky than anyone else.
Exeter have their first choice best 6 defenders out injured currently.
Ffs 3/4/5 injuries is the norm at any moment in time, in league for most clubs.

I think where we feel unlucky is not the quantity of injuries but the type of injuries and the personnel involved. Andreu was supposed to be the marquee player this season, we'll never know. Jones when his season ended was top goalscorer most assists and arguably the best player. Davies in recent weeks has been a tower of strength, looked settled and composed again becoming an important cog in our upturn in form. Stokes tbh I'm less bothered about, as his distribution in recent weeks appalling and he looks a little unfit. Grimmer mixed performances but I like him.
Isn't this his first injury of the season and is likely just a tweak? He got dropped for a few games over Haynes which coincided with the clean sheets stopping and us not scoring many more. He must of started 25 games already.I like Stokes but he's injured too often. Not quite a Reda but for the money we pay him we only get a proportion of the season out of him once all his absence are taken into account. We might be better getting a player 80% as good, saving some money but expecting a full season out of that player.

Well his time is well and truly now up!Stokes looks bang average even in Lg2. If Haynes can’t become a regular at this level he can forget being a pro footballer as a career.
Shipley played left back when he came on against Shrewsbury, arguably our best player on the pitch that night.In Grimmer's absence, I think we need to play DionKE at right back purely for his attacking element - and stick Vicenti in front of him, as Barrett doesn't yet look up to it. If Stokes is out, Haynes obviously - but I was thinking about this today and wondered if Shipley could do a job at left back and (only if fit enough) try Reid on the left wing. I think it is really important that we offer some threat from out wide, and if the 2 new U23s aren't going to cut the mustard then we need to consider all options. As I've said on another thread Bayliss has to be played centre mid - if he persists with Kelly/Doyle it may be even more vital to use Reid on the left, as an out and out winger. Willis is not a full back and offers little in terms of attacking the flanks and (recently) Stokes first touch has been poor, limiting our attacking play on the left. Full backs make a huge difference to a team's performance as they see more of the ball than most of the other positions.
He might have to the way things are going.we are currently paying a substantial amount of money for a left winger in Reid. He should be considered

I think that's pretty harsh on Dion KE. Was one of the few positives last year.Praying that these 2 aren’t out for too long. Grimmer and Stokes have been a huge part of that solid defensive foundation this season and replacing them with DKE and Haynes will expose us massively. Pair of liabilities.

I wouldnt mine dke being brought back in as right back for a while
