The Nest Egg Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Please honestly can somebody explain him to me. I get he had a couple of good moments today but really he’s single-handedly cost us two points there. Surely we should just cut our losses and get him out by now, he hasn’t made any significant contribution in four years now. He’s also not one of those players you expect to hold on to a lead, doesn’t get fans off their seats (or sofas right now), has little to no end product, I could go on. So, I ask again; What is the point of him? Why on earth is he still here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 It’s an incredibly harsh decision that’s come just from a 50/50 so I’m hoping not much gets directed at him. He’s not thought ‘you know what, it’d be a laugh to give away a penalty’, he’ll be more gutted then anyone by it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you ignore the Zak Vyner marking and the Max O'Leary dying starfish for the first goal yeah... I don't like O'Dowda that much, he was doing ok, one good run, and an absolute moronic challenge which has ended up really hurting someone. Horrifically ill timed, and dangerous to the point where the stretcher comes out. but it's DEFINITELY not single handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S25loyal Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 In all seriousness, when he was whoring himself out looking for a move and no one came looking, we should had removed the contract offer. Its clear he’s nowhere near good enough or someone else would had snapped him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is single handed though, we were 2-1 up, no one forced him to knock out that player and give away a pen. If he single handedly didn’t do that, we would have won 2-1.

Bobbie Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Thought he looked very good when he came on. He’s bravely tried to challenge for an aerial ball and got his timing slightly off. Harsh decision but these things happen. Get over it. i feel he’s an asset and can have a big part to play this season. Chin up Callum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheltons Army Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 3 minutes ago, JonDolman said: Was quality when he came on. And then basically jumped for a ball and was far too strong for the other player. I heard the staff shouting out 'Callum use your strength!' He looks to have bulked up a lot and that was just him going for the ball. If the player didn't unfortunately fall like he did then I bet no pen is given. Was it a free kick anywhere else on the pitch Jon ..... yes.... so it is a pen But some of the comments on this forum about him are simply embarrassing ‘shit’ , ‘moron’ etc etc Somebody will be along to pick the toys up and put them back in the prams in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if we were running the business side of things on emotion. But it doesn't run like that, mate. All reason and logic, and numbers where Ashton's concerned. And no contract decisions made at 4.55 on a Saturday when we've just chucked away a win. Boring, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think theres a player in there but this is where I stand on it. It is a ridiculous decision by Callum to make that challenge. He was 40/60 to win that header at best, and the ball was in the air for a long time. Let the Barnsley lad win the header, he is not scoring from there, but affect him with a challenge - trust your team mates to deal with the second ball. Its really the sort of things that drive coaches mad. The frustration is, as much as we are looking for a scapegoat in the ref, letting them out when we had them in the corner etc, it is unfortunately an individual mistake based on poor decision making. Real shame. The referee had no option, Callum made it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 Its an interesting example for whether you should get a penalty for things like that or whether it should be an indirect free kick with penalties reserved for preventing clear goal scoring opportunities.
