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.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Three crosses Friday Grimes had three crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Friday's 3-0 loss against Arsenal.

Impact Grimes took three crosses during Friday's loss, but perhaps more importantly had a role on set-pieces, taking a pair of corners. Against the reigning champions that didn't mean much, but against teams that are more open, Grimes could have some upside with that role on set-pieces.
