RND been called up to the Wales squad. Pleased for the lad as I've always had a soft spot for him. Seeing how heartbroken he was being stretchered off at Luton in the PL just made me like him more. Really hope he can kick on this season.

 

[jimmymuir]

Don't mind the lad, but it shows how far we've sunk that he's now considered a player who will be in and around the starting XI.

Fair play to the kid.

 

[Old Programme seller]

I’ve always believed that he needs games to become better he’s a slow starter, with the hole we’re in atm perhaps he’s a blessing in disguise and I hope he shows us all what he can do and prove us all wrong.

In fairness, he's our third choice left back and fifth or sixth choice CB.

Before his injury he was a good player who was getting better and his selection for Wales is indicative that he is seen again as a player who is getting back to his best

This lad is a slow burner.

Had a rough time with injuries.

Will definitely be quality given time to get back up to speed.

 

[Thrice]

I actually think McCallum and RND combining and alternating between defending and attacking was one of the bright spots of the Blackburn game. The left hand side looked dangerous at times in the first half.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

I don’t really understand that view considering pre-injury he was a very key player in a team challenging for promotion.

 

[KMC-1889]

Exactly this. He’s not the sort of player you want to go out and recruit so it makes sense keeping him around IF he can keep himself fit.

 

[The Hobott]

He's started to look like a bit of a beast last few games - hopefully his injuries are behind him

Yes, in 2022/23. That was four seasons ago.

 

[Cheeky Blade]

Solid.

No bells and whistles as with some players but solid in the games so far.

Hopefully stays free of injuries and kicks on through the season.

UTB.

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Hopefully gets forward a lot tonight with purpose.

McAllum had a nightmare v Wolves. I think we need to play 3 at the back like on Sunday but with Burrows and Seriki (when both r fit) providing the attacking width from wing back

And at Cov.
He was playing really well at the time.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Take it all back, guys washed

 

[Thrice]

Take it all back, guys washed

I think he simply can't play in a back 4. He looked decent in a back 5 setup.

 

[FredZeppelin]

He's been absolutely dreadful for three years now. Slow when defending, offers nothing going forward, and has a rick in him all the time.

Problem is, he's not even one of our worst performing players at the moment.

[Newbury Blade]

All our defenders are awful, Baptiste would be an improvement but of course barely gets a look-in.

 

[Akrotiri_Blades]

It's easy to say in retrospect regarding this match but it was a perfect opportunity to try out McGlinchey at LB to see how far he is off becoming the back-up LB.

 

[ben1987]

Yeah he had an absolute shocker but I think it was as much in his own head out of a desire to win the game and atone for the ridiculous own goal.

He at least showed some willingness to run, use his body and get stuck in.

His team mates are equally to blame, if not more. There should have been more than enough on that pitch last night to dig their mate out of a howler like that but they created absolutely nothing and half of them probably feel relived that he had suck a stinker and made the mistake to take the spotlight off them.

The lad isn’t at the required level to be a top player in the championship anymore but I’m not blaming him for last night and don’t think he deserves hanging out to dry.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Desperate to do well, his heart is in it, but the pressure of fucking up weighs too heavily and he losses his head.

Agreed there, to be fair, why isn't Cooper either coming out to collect/punch this or shouting at RND that he has 2 on and to flick away.

If Campbell could finish like that he might occasionally score again

 

[Nah-then]

If Campbell could finish like that he might occasionally score again

Ball would be back in our half before he lumbers up to get in a position like that

 

[Nedski]

I don't like criticising RND as he's had more than his fair share of bad luck over the last few years, but he had a shocker last night. In fairness they all did, but his head goes once he's made a mistake and it's all downhill from there.

Hr doesn't seem capable at wingback any more due to his hamstrings so I was hoping he'd end up being a solid full back but I'm not so sure any more.

What the fuck is Doherty doing for the initial cross in. He's 10 yards away from his man and turns his back on the cross. That's a schoolboy error. Then McGuinness doesn't deal with the cross in the box. Felt sorry for RND but his appearances always seem to feature a calamity of disastrous proportions, so hopefully he never plays for us again

Yeah the defence was shocking that pass has gone a hell of a long way past our RB, 2 CB's and left Cooper stranded flatfooted for some reason. It was a decent cross but it was almost like a free kick in the time and space he had.

 

[SwissBlade]

He had a shocker for the goal and OG's happen, but i never feel comfortable with him defending one on one or when the ball comes into the box like that for the goal last night.

A couple of seasons ago, away at Barnsley, he was terrorised by Barnsley, he looked lost. We didn't see that as much last night and he has regained some of the confidence he'd lost before he went to QPR on loan. I know the situation we're in, but if we can move him on, it will be for the best for all parties.
