How can you tell when he never gets the ball?Dawn O wrote: The thing is with calderwood is since his injury he has lost the one thing that made him a good winger - his speed.
I am not sure what people expect in this regard. It was a serious injury and people seem to expect him to make a complete recovery this season.
We did the same thing with David Hodgdon who had a bad Achilles injury. When he wasn't up to scratch when he came after he was labelled rubbish with no account taken of this.
While he isn't as good as Calders he regained his speed after leaving us and he was fully recovered. I have no doubt Calderwood will do the same.
If we had judged Pat Richards form on half a season when he first came he would not be here now.
So given Calders is a proven try scorer I think the least he deserves is the full season to regain his pace.
That said reading the quotes I am not surprised he has instructed his agent to find him a new club because Nobby either does not know how or won't use him properly at Wigan.
He needs to find a club with a decent centre and a coach who will set up a plan of attack to make best use of his talents not one where the only player with pace never gets the ball.
