It doesn't, I'm afraid. It lacks specificity and precision. But thanks for trying.

100% agree. The state of the right hand side of a LB heads is all too often neglected
I'm not suggesting switching Goldson to RB, I'm suggesting getting a RB in on loan to play at LB.

After he single handly almost gifted Brentford 3 first half goals last week I'm not dis-pleased.
Was on the bench for the West Ham match last night so not injured. Why sign him early when we still have ridgewell. Only wages for one month when we're in with a great shout this year, plus we might not have to pay it all.
Sadly, I agree, not going to happen.
And a lot of goals coming from individual errors such as Dunk's or coming from Bruno's side. Can't remember a glaring mistake from Calderon if honest

We're having a devil of a time without Bong.
Calderon's spell in the side coincided with the injuries decimating the squad, and with the the rest running low on energy. To present that poor run as a direct result of his contribution is disingenuous.
I would agree with you to a point IF that is really his attitude. Personally I think that experience and quality would probably see him through the much lower standard that is the championship. Bridge/Upson are players we thought might be past it but proved otherwise and Enrique is a lot younger than they were. You're probably right though, 200+ Prem appearances at Newcastle and Liverpool.... Not good enough for us.

I would rather have Calderon at left back than Ridgewell. I can't remember us conceding any goals this season from a Calderon error. And when I've seen Ridgewell play, wingers have gone past him very easily.
I think Calde is good enough to do the job until Bong or Rosienior are back from injury.

It's never a Calderón error. He's always too far behind play to make errors
It's not really errors from Calderon that are a worry. It's just that Murphy is not as potent going forward because Calderon does not get ahead of Murphy going forward which is understandable. Ridgewell gives you more in that respect.
I wouldn't worry about the left back position just at the minute. Bong is supposed to be back by the time Ridgewell leaves, unless there has been set backs in the last week or two that we haven't heard about in relation to Bong

For your last statement to be true, Bong would need to be in full training NOW, as Saturday is Ridgewell's last game. Unless there is extreme secrecy, he is not.
The last two games (wins) Murphy has played much better - a result of playing in front of Ridgewell instead of Calderon. We lose a lot of our effectiveness when we have limited threat down the left, Hull could double up on knocky then we'd be toothless.
There are 10 days in between now and the first game Ridgewell is not expected to be here. I don't know if Bong is back in training or not. All I said was that there was an expectancy Bong would be back by then. Has that expectation altered in the last week or two ? Maybe it has, I don't know but as of now I am not worried about it until I hear differently that he won't be back by then. When that happens I will worry about it

Well, I hope BG doesn't know where you live!!!
At the risk of running the wrath of BG............I wonder if Skalak can play left wing back ?
I like BG, at least me and him both agree Calderon isn't good enough.
