Todd Cantwell

[Ivybank 4,632]

Was my motm today , watched him closely first half and was the only one making himself available running everywhere ,great ball for the second goal 

and was far better second half 

[graeme_4 34,958]

Thought he was thrown about like an empty jersey for the first half, but then that assist in the second half was brilliant.

Should only be used centrally IMO.

Oooft.

@Loyal72 in serious trouble here.

A few sloppy passes and touches in the 1st half. What I seen in the 2nd half he was starting to pull together a few combinations especially the play in the box around the 50/55 minute when i'm sure it was Dessers should have had a shot rather than try and play it back.

Missed the pass for the 2nd goal and the actual goal I had to leave to catch a flight which is now delayed!!

[BlueAvenger 10,423]

I thought he was poor in the first half but better in the second half 

[JograBear 1,074]

Awful first half. Improved second half but still not good enough. Hopefully he can get back to the form we know he can achieve.

[nik2402 1,365]

He was shocking first half. Was a moment in the first half when he got pushed off the ball again and he turned and was moaning at the referee despite the ball being 5 yards away from him. 
 

Improved in the second half and his assist for the second showed what he can do. 

[King Jela 20,582]

That assist for Sima in the 2nd half is exactly what you want from your number 10 though. 

Was an excellent pass.

Lundstram gave him an earful at that.

He’s been thrown about again 

[Arfield Salute 13]

Totally disagree with the opinion he was shocking or awful in the first half. There was room for improvement and he stayed on the ground for a little too long a couple of times, but he was constantly involved in a lot of our play. A few clumsy touches but he has technical ability and a footballing brain that most of the others in our current squad don’t have. We need to be trying to play to his strengths and get the most out of him. 
 

I also think our style of play in general does not help our creative players and strikers to flourish. Our midfielders and full backs could do a better job of getting the ball to the likes of Cantwell, Lawrence, McCausland etc., in dangerous areas. Too often I feel we look to go out wide away from the goal rather than trying to penetrate through the middle like we did for the second goal. Even when the wingers get it, very rarely are they attacking the full back and getting to the byline or driving into the box.

What I really love about Cantwell getting two assists today is that it suggest that the manager doesn’t let his ego cloud his judgement and is willing to listen and adapt

That was a big concern I had from Thursday
 

[Moody Blue 9,476]

Did more in that in the time he was on the pitch, than what Lammers has done all season.  Noticeably improved in the second half when he was much further up the pitch than the first. 

[don logan 8,084]

He started slowly, but once he got going, was our most effective player today.

Was delighted to see him in the starting lineup today, was glad Clement isn’t the type to hold grudges or have proper fall outs  with players

It's really good management mate. We've not had anyone about with that kind of head on his shoulders for years.

It appears to have been brilliant management, aye. The fact Cantwell managed to find a bit of his form again today could well mean that subbing on Thursday night kick started his season 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 54,115]

He was too eager to get touches that he was straying into areas that a 10 shouldn't, that had no impact on the opposition. 

He improved on that as the game went on and got his rewards with goal contributions.

That's his position, only a fool would move him from there for Lammers.

You mean when Sima went through the middle mate? @.Williamson.

100% , he was motm for me  as well.   Played in his position and played well.   He is our best creative player by a long way.    Have to add that Butland had one outstanding save and I have to give him credit for it as it probably stopped a melt-down at that point in the game.

[Bad Robot 21,447]

I thought he had a brilliant period in the 2nd half which was the Todd from last season. Hopefully that’s him got it again between the teeth.

[Bad Robot 21,447]

He needs to learn that his diving has consequences and that showed today when possibly the ref should have gave him a couple but he never got them.

Great point.

[MayboleLoyal_atb 3,765]

Play him in the 10 it’s not rocket science.

 

Also think it’s good management from Clement he could easily have dropped him and had a big media circus round about it but am hoping they’ve just had a talk and straighten everything out. Had the fear that Cantwell was going to be forced out the door which would be madness in our current financial situation.
