Bruno or Calderon

[shingle]

Bruno....... Every day of the week

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

Bruno cannot defend. When he goes forward attacking he does not get back. Also he has a 50p head an cannot head straight!

 

[Withdeano]

Calde = endeavour, commitment and all round nice bloke

Bruno = unpredictable, prone to lapses, beautifully weighted passes, vision, flair and arrogance in equal dollops

I was tempted to make the Harry Hill "fight" call, but to be honest, I watch Brighton to be entertained and it's for that reason I choose Bruno. Can't argue with some of the criticism above and yes another ref would have sent him off last night, but put that aside and recall the sliding interception that stopped Forstieri (sic) breaking clean through on about 70 mins last night and then most sumptuous 50+ yard through ball to Lita that was the best pass made at the Amex all evening, by a country mile and then some.

Dunno how anyone can vote for Bruno, he hasn't had a good game for nearly a year. Rather have Frank Bruno at right back ! Amazing really cos the first few months he was here he was awesome, now he is awful !

 

[Marshy]

Bruno every time its an easy decision

 

[father_and_son]

Calde/Buckley seem a lot more instinctive with each other whereas Bruno seems much less aware of where players will be rather than are. Bruno not impressing at the moment to the point where he doesn't seem to want to travel with or hold the ball at all.

Calderon ALL the way.

Loved what we got from Bruno at the start of last season, but there is no sign of that player this season.

 

[TheMajor]

Where's the neither option?

Where's the neither option?

Who then?

 

[Mellotron]

If both are fit and in form (big if), Bruno by a country mile. Crazy to suggest otherwise, he's light years ahead of Calde talent wise.

 

[Mellotron]

Bruno played a ball last night that only he, Lopez or Vicente could've played. Phenomenal vision. If he could iron out certain aspects of the game he would easily be a Prem player, whereas Calde is at his absolute limit now.

Given the injuries we have had Oscar hasn't had much flexibility with his selection but it is interesting that in this position most people would play Calderon ahead of Bruno.

However I think it shows the influence that Nathan Jones has, as I feel Bruno is very much a Jones type player.

Spot on, and with the return of Bridcutt, Orlandi, Kemy in midfield it will become even more evident as to why Bruno is far superior at right back.

 

[Kumquat]

Same strengths same weaknesses for me. Lucky to have them both because at least one of them can replace the other when they are inevitably sent off. Though as said elsewhere, with Ward out I think Calde will be playing left back for a while. When Bruno collects his inevitable next booking we've got El-Abd or spanish dave to fill in.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Calde for now

We may well be thinking of different incidents, but the one I mean was definitely Bruno as they showed it again on the big screen just to emphasise how pathetic it was. It was in the right-back position, slightly inside our half. The ball was a clear 50/50 and he obviously held back to ensure he didn't get involved in any physical contact.

Different incidents then. The Andrews one was in the centre circle, completely pulled out of a 50/50 challenge.

Completely baffling why some people are opting for Bruno. He is a liability at the moment and was very lucky not to get sent off last night. Very strange that Calderon got dropped in the first place, his form has been excellent this season.

Yep. It really p*sses me off seeing pro players pull out of a 50/50 challenge. I can forgive mistakes, stupid decisions and even lack of talent, but not not going in for a 50/50 ball. Calde does that in spades as the Newport player whose leg he broke will testify. I hope the player will be ok, btw.

 

[BensGrandad]

On last nights showing it has to be Bruno as that was his best performance this season.

 

[Surf's Up]

Both not quick enough and get beaten, but I prefer Inigo for passion.

Agree with this, Bruno better as a flexible sub (could also play midfield?) and give Maksimenko a run at left back in Ward's absence?

Calderon all day long
