It seems we have tightened up under Caldwell and as Ive repeatedly said if you let zero or one goal in you always have a chance of getting results ,maybe we have been riding our luck with the stats against us and time will tell on that .
Its not easy on the eye at the moment and I dont know how long to give him ,I'm thinking 10 games into next season with his own recruits.
He has done it with Wigan so he has credentials and is still young and probably still learning his trade ,I hope the powers that be stick with him at least for now just in the hope he can get us improving.There are small signs of that recently,we have been unlucky to come up against in form teams of late but Tuesday we come up against a team who are in a bit of a slump so there will be no excuses.
Only thrashings we had with Wilson were the Wycombe cup game, Sheffield United at home, Peterborough away and Accrington at home in the EFL Trophy where we sent out a team of first teamers and youngsters.
I agree with Dancing (Sound like Cameron 'I agree with Nick') I think if Wilson had stayed on we would have been out the drop zone and would have picked up wins against teams around us and even higher than us. Caldwell has come in and brought in players on loan who are ok but haven't been outstanding and these players aren't on contract there only on loan so they will go back to Birmingham and Preston etc when we are relegated in L2.
Yeah I think we should give him 10 games in L2 next season and see what sort of squad he builds but so far he hasn't won many fans over with his signings.
He managed it at Wigan because he had parachute payments from when they got relegated from the Premier League and Wigan got promoted because they had players like Craig Davies, Max Power, David Perkins, Jordy Hiwula, Reece James etc these are Championship standard players. With our budget next season we won't be able to buy Championship standard players our team next season will be made up of free transfers, loanees, youth players and players from non-league. Now free transfers, youth players and non-league players aren't a bad thing but I just think we need to be realistic and that we may not be in the promotion places or even playoffs next season.
Right now I would take back Armand Gnanduillet.
