Chicksen is our no:1 (only) left back and should have played to provide the pace going forward.
When Calde got forward he always cut in on the right foot.
This was the perfect opportunity to see what Chicksen was made of.
If I was him and replaced by an ageing right back I would be looking elsewhere.
so much for giving Youth a chance.
Calde still a legend but not at left back and not MOM.

Please say you are joking? He looked way out of his depth and clearly was not his position.

Calde is a spent force at this level. He will play back up for most of the season once a left back is in place.
Way better than Bruno in every department. Statistics back this up.
Bruno's tracking back is non existent.

Pretty much this. I love Calde with all my being, but to play a right back at left back was a silly thing to do - giving Chicksen a chance at LB and having Calde/Hughes replace him should he be overwhelmed would have been better for him - give him the experience as if/when we get Ward then his chances will be limited. If we get Ward and he gets injured then we need someone like Chicksen to deputise.
What statistics?

Tries hard, gives 100%, top bloke but is too slow and one dimensional for the Championship.
goals, assists, bookings, wins when playing, and on and on and on.
Do you have a link for the information, would be interesting to read them.

Stupid IDIOT
Never has been a left back and idiotic playing him there today
Who would you have played? Chicksen who has been hopeless in the majority of friendlies? Maksimenko who failed last year, lacks pace and is clearly a CB?
You could have switched Bruno and played Caldron at RB I suppose, or perhaps the club should stop fannying about with Ward and go for someone else, as it's been a gap since the F/T whistle at Derby.

Perhaps you need to direct this at BERK not me
The first line could be for you? Do you have a suggestion as to how we could have improved the LB situation?

I love Calde, but playing the two Full backs so high up the pitch clearly doesn't suit him.

Calde spent most of the game as an attacking left midfielder as the back four converted to a three. This resulted in us having the Calde out wide left (the wrong side for him) and Lua Lua tucked inside and ineffective. Astounding tactics from Hyppia.
on the club site if it ever works!!
OP is right, he was committed and positive. Just out of position, too slow and not good enough.
