I've seen Calderwood play for you guys twice this season and he is no different to the Calderwood Wigan let go - that is rubbish. Never backs himself in attack, rubbish under the high ball, but he is good defensively.

We just don't create any space to give him the chance to fly down the wing. When he gets the ball it is from slow passing down the line allowing the opposition to slide across to cover everyone.

We do seem to be hell of alot more creative when kicking near the line, and I would like to see some chips over the line in Calderwoods direction.

That's a tad unfair IMO. In 4 games he's had one half-decent pass and scored from it. Last night wasn't his best game and he made a couple of errors, but every pass he got in attack was behind him or while he was pinned on the touchline with no space to run.

IMO he's a liability... flicking the ball back in mid-air instead of just trying to catch it.. going to a Hudds player...

Simple really... catch it and hold it.. its not basketball!

It was the right thing to do, the players inside of him should have hung back.

Agree, but do you think all wingers are too level with the centres, not coming on to the ball, think two passes last night went behind him????Raynor on the other hand does run on to the pass,(when he gets it)

TBH the pass to him could and should have been better IMO.

If it had been Raynor people would be saying fair play to him for trying to keep the ball alive.
