Cal Sold to Aberdeen

[ncfcog]

I missed the first half but apparently he was having a bit of a shocker, poor touches. I don’t think Cal was poor but Aberdeen were and they could hardly string a couple of passes together as they were totally under the cosh.

Probably a baptism of fire for both of them but especially Richardson, he's a great prospect but a hell of leap for a young lad.

I don't think Cal will want to remember that debut.
Few touches of note, it almost looked like they didn't want to pass to him.
All said he has only been there a week but it may be a step too far.

From the bits I watched, there did seem a reluctance to give him the ball. There were 2 occasions when Cal was clearly the better option to pass the ball to.

Your last comment is spot on though, he’s been there a week. Could you imagine a new player coming into Notts and supporters judging them after just one game. It just wouldn’t happen🤔

Have to say I if you took away Richardson's pace, he would struggle to make a living from football, IMO.

He’s young and, as others have stated, will hopefully learn and develop. But, I can understand your comment. At times, he just seems to completely switch off.

I think he’d struggle under LW or would LW get more out of him?

I see Cal was taken off injured 18 mins after coming on as sub for Aberdeen this afternoon, it confirms what a shrewd bit of business it was by us, to give him his move.
I know the club made it sound like he was a big loss, but on the quiet I think they would have been pleased to get more than the valuation we put on him, at the same time as solving the problem of how/where to shoe horn him into the starting eleven.
I hope he can limp to the required amount of appearances needed to earn us some more dosh. I don't hold out much hope of extra cash from a sell on fee.
It is sad to see a player with his talent suffer from a run of injuries, but it seems to go cap in hand with his attitude.

What "attitude" is that? I only saw a player with a burning desire to win.

Seems to be a fan of getting his mates to act like t**ts on twitter about the club.

Another member made a few remarks about other off field stuff.

Basically he doesnt fit into a 352 system and he is starting to pick up a few injuries now.

I don't do Twitter, I was talking about his attitude on the pitch.

I never saw him give less than 100%.

Troll.

EP just something in his body language that gave me the impression he has an attitude problem, backed up with his going down way to easily when in contact with an opponent, along with the Twitter rubbish.
As far as I know he seems have been the only player to not see eye to eye with IB. Just my opinion
