Grant confidence and central danger

The revival of Karlan Grant is the biggest surprise to come from Albion's campaign - and it continued at Oxford.

He showed just why he was put back in the with a display of work rate and real quality down the left.

He was a constant danger, and his performances are taking the load off Tom Fellows.

What Grant kind of lacks out wide is that little bit of pace to go past a man and a trick, like Fellows has.

However, he is quality from distance and that is exactly what he showed against Oxford.
