So, "after", they gave him a taller bright red RSJ to balance on than he was given "before". What does that prove?

 

[Revolution]

As I've said before, he brings so much energy when he comes off the bench.

Great credit to him, and also to Wilder, who has found a role for him in the squad that seems to get the best out of him.

McCallum is very very unlucky that we have Harrison Burrows.

IMO he starts for most sides in this division and never let's us down.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

McCallum was great when he came on. Challenged for everything and some really good use of the ball too.
I hope Shackleton can get to his sort of contribution levels in time, I'm still not really sure what he's about.

Best I can gather so far, is that he's a right-footed Ben Osborn.

 

[wizadry]

If anything he jumps too high and will more than likely get an injury from landing awkwardly, let’s hope that isn’t the case because he does a fantastic job when called upon.

 

[jono_t2000]

Another very impressive cameo when coming on

Shackleborn has been my hilariously funny name for him from the day we signed him. I’m so funny.

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Not seen anything about him, but feel he deserves some credit for his performance tonight. Came on and thought he was very good - apart from that absolute sitter that he somehow put over the bar!

 

[robbiez666]

I'm going to be generous, as he's looked dreadful but did much better for Norwich last season, and say he can't play LB so why on earth did we sign him?

Squad player that's contributed a fair bit on a number of occasions.

How many games has he looked like a decent Championship player? It's difficult coming off the bench regularly but he's looked poor. Not helped by our manager playing him in different positions but he's offered little outside of his spring.

 

[Lane Ender]

Terrible excuse for a footballer another great Wilder signing

Utter rubbish.

He’s been a good squad player and has brought energy off the bench and helped to see games out all season.

He’s not good enough to be in our first XI but he has not looked dreadful.

The big question today is why we are bringing him on when we are chasing a game. That’s on the manager.

 

[Salmon Pastures]

How on earth he’s getting more minutes than O’Hare lately fits in perfectly with the way our haphazard approach is at the moment.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Sam McCallum is the least of our problems. Adequate Championship squad player, nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Best player on pitch. Burrows has no chance at the minute.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

MOTM for me!

 

[XADE]

MOTM for me!

Definitely O'Hare but McCallum would be next.

 

[Wright1889]

Who’s this Samuel McCarlos we’ve signed this week?

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Worked hard today.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Set the standard for himself today hopefully

 

[Booker4]

Just wondering whether we could play burrows in the hammer role and see how he does?

 

[Rodley]

Didn’t make it today, but he’s shown heart in recent weeks. A good lad and hopefully he continues to emerge as a leader.

 

[Weasel]

He is just wildly inconsistent. Some games he can look really promising (still only a young player). Then the next match he can be honking. Suppose he will get better with a run of games and not automatically playing second fiddle to a very underperforming Burrows. His shirt to lose now.

 

[ben1987]

McCallum and Soumare were our best two players today. McCallum has been our best player the last two games infact.

Neither ought to have been taken off today.

 

[espoo blade]

Didn’t make it today, but he’s shown heart in recent weeks. A good lad and hopefully he continues to emerge as a leader.

Not just heart, but his use of the ball has been much better the last two matches. One highlight today was bringing the ball down nicely and an actual good cross to the far post for McGuinness who's header was deflected wide for a corner.

 

[Nick Jansky]

McCallum and Soumare were our best two players today. McCallum has been our best player the last two games infact.

Neither ought to have been taken off today.

Soumare hasn’t had a lot of minutes and was flagging. We also need to start getting minutes into Riedewald. But I agree, Soumare had a decent game. Not amazing, but showed enough to shut up the cretins on here who had already written him off.
