Played more like a forward for the last 15 minutes but opposition players seemed to ghost past him alarmingly these days when he is in defence.

We all know he's not the best defensively at this level, but he works his arse off, and he's filling the gap reasonably well. I thought he was OK today.
In second half injury time, he exchanged passes with someone down the right (I imagine Buckley), and absolutely bust a gut to get forward and on to the return ball ahead of the Reading midfielder. To see a defender working that hard to get forward after 91 minutes was enormously heartening and shows his desire to win.
He's alright

Great attitude. Busts a gut all the time. Should have done better with that free header. Everyone loves him.
Not many ran further and covered more of the pitch, than Calde today.
I thought he excellent today, he'll not be up against the likes of Bridge every week.

Bridge worried me every time e pressed forward today. Great player.
Calde is just ... Calde. Will go down as a BHA legend. Long may he continue with the club.

Missed some great chances today. Spanish Dave one on one with the keeper on the corner of the six yard box, springs to mind.

But didn't he create it well. Real class. Then the class deserted him.

Calde probably had the most chances, didn't he? Got to love his take on what it is to be a right-back.
Anyway, he tweeted 'One more point, another clean sheet. Always positive'. If only we all had that attitude...

Great attitude shame he lacks the pace which can often lead to bookings and worse.

As Bill Shankly said, "the first five yards are in your head..."
Plus, as everyone has observed over the past four years, very rarely is a Brighton full-back - pace or no pace - left exposed in a one-on-one with a speedy winger from the opposition. There is almost always doubling up on them.

i dont think we've reached that point yet.

effort outweighs his talent

same as we experience at the other end of the pitch when say buckley (in form) in on the ball ..invariably there is a doubling up no matter how good the full back

I've always seen Calde as a solid right back. I just hope he's not trying to outshine what Bruno does going forward to keep his place, Calde is great in defence, and IMO works better with Buckley than Bruno. Bruno is technically the better but I prefer Calde.
