You can debate whether any player is deserving of that sort of stick, but Calderwood has to appreciate that fans aren't doing this just because they feel like it. They are doing it because it isn't just the "odd bad game". Whether he never hides and always gives 100% or not, is entirely irrelevant because he is so lacking in ability. He isn't good enough for us but seems to be bullet proof as far as JC is concerned.
Very true statement. But if I performed as poorly as he does so regularly, I'd be out of a job. It's as simple as that.
I know what we'll get when he is in the team too... frustration and anxiety. Anyone who talks of any pro footballer in the terms of "he will never fail for lack of effort" is effectively saying "he's shit at football."
He has had a few ok games, but he's still a poor signing, the fact he hasn't been quite as bad as we anticipated doesn't mean he's a good player or a good signing.
