Todd Cantwell

[Dado'sMulls 2,640]

Todd's starting to lose a bit of good will with me, he doesn't look interested anymore imo. Wouldn't be that sad to take in a fee and see him leave tbh.

Honestly think dowell gets better numbers in his position giving plenty of game time to get up to speed got that psychical presence & very capable of scoring goals 

Think Dowell with a run of games would probably offer more 

[SeparateEntityMyArse 54,261]

I think he's a player who needs to feel loves, and there's obviously an issue that Clement is more hardliners than rhat with him.

I also reckon better forwards with better movement and him adapting his play to try to impact the game rather than impress with tricks turns and dribbles would help no end.

I've not lost faith yet but I do think the January trip to Spain will determine how the rest of his season goes. And if it goes poorly I'd expect to see him moved on in the summer

Sportscene covered quite clearly how he did influence the game, including 1st half.

We need to put someone on him to nullify him, someone athletic. And it really needs to be someone who has that as their key role, not also trying to be creative or attack minded. Not necessarily him but a Stetling type player would do rather than someone who is repeatedly left in McGregors slip stream.

Just had a lengthy argument with my son where I was saying this is exactly what we needed to do.

Given the personnel available, Sterling was just the man for the job.

For me, he veered between the hopelessly optimistic & the ridiculously cautious.

There were numerous occasions where he was looking at the pass, didn’t deliver, waved his foot over the ball, turned around and passed it backwards!

If McGregor called out Borna as a shite bag, god knows what he thought of that!

[Loyal72 12,092]

Every big game he goes missing.

The lad thought he was too big for Norwich, he's not big enough for Rangers.

[Laudrupsleftfoot 11,335]

Tillman was doing the job of stifling McGregor, out muscling him and taking the ball clean off the cunt in the semi final until he had to go off injured.

Asking Cantwell to do the same was always going to be tough for him, it’s not his game. Sterling probably would have been better but we’d all have been going mental if Cantwell didn’t start.

I genuinely didn’t think he did that badly at it, the praise McGregor’s had has been a bit over the top.

It’s going the other way where Todd didn’t cause them enough problems. He was neat and tidy, didn’t give it away much but didn’t look like hurting them.

Scores his chance where Hart saved easily and plays Dessers through that time where he got it caught under his feet and the narrative’s completely different.

Dancing showpony imo.

Who’s going to buy him?

If there was interest from down south then he wouldn’t be here in the first place.

[STEPPS BOY 75,033]

Josh Windass but without the numbers.

[chris182 6,366]

Needs to up his game or he'll be out in the Summer

[Loyal72 12,092]

He'd do very good as an influencer/fashion person, that's not a slight on him either.

Has a really big outgoing personality. Doesn't have the football ability that he thinks he has though.

[Broxi 11,666]

Excellent last season but his form has fell off a cliff this season

If your auntie had balls, she’d be your uncle.

Said exactly the same before the game Sterling wouldn’t have given him a minute

[Negri's lovechild 14,403]

He looked a wee bit lost yesterday and i think he was trying to cover too much ground, which left him exposed and out of position. 

It was telling that once he came off, we improved. 

I like Cantwell, but i'm not sure he fits into a Clement side.

You mean to tell me that if he had scored a goal instead of hitting a tame shot straight at the keeper and if he had played a key pass instead on stumbling about with the ball, people would have thought he had a good game rather than a bad one?

This is revolutionary thinking.

The last paragraph is exactly everyone’s problem with Cantwell, he didn’t score and he didn’t play the ball through when it was on and he very rarely does that is the issue, he would far rather dribble the ball and try daft flicks that very rarely come off to look good then be productive and play the simple ball when it’s on. 

[sausagetrunks 6,102]

I think Clement will get rid.

My point is how extreme the views are, his actual performance was middling and came down to a couple of key moments that could have gone the other way. There were plenty of times he took the ball in tight situations and used his body/skill well to keep possession but he’s had no credit for that.

Now multiple posters have the knives out, wanting him gone, saying Windass was better etc. - it’s OTT.

Dowell did absolutely nothing, don’t agree with that at all.

That's actually a tremendous comparison. One that would have got you pelters for only a short time ago but not now. Windass' numbers were actually better. 

Windass would start every week with this squad.

Getting it right in the key moments is the difference between a good and bad performance.

No he wouldn’t, the level has gone up hugely since then.

Not saying he was good, as you can see from my post you quoted.

Stand by the point on how extreme the views are and it being massively over the top.
