Bruno Saltor ruled out of playoff semi's

[NorthStandN1A]

Bruno won't be involved in playoff semi finals due to his calf injury.

Really gutted as he has been great for us, but Calde has done such a good job in his absence I really feel okay about it !!!

I also feel like Calde deserves to be a part of our promotion push with everything he has given us over his time here.

Is anyone worried about Bruno not being involved?

Not really. Calderon is the better option. But it would have been good to have him in the squad as back-up.

He's become a bit of a sick note.

Nope not worried. Sorry for him because we all want our best players involved and I'm sure he'd want to be involved. That said, I actually think Calderon is the better option. I think he's a better all-round player who has raised his game with the increased competition (like he did last season to see off Reyes). That and I love Iñigo so may be a tad biased.

 

[Oscar]

Calde deserves his starting place given his recent form. Bit of a blow not to have a player of the quality of Bruno as back up though - especially with Calde being our second best option at left back.

Calde has done well but he is slow in defence. Does it worry anyone that IF we get to Wembley he might be exposed?

No. What's the difference on the pitch between the Amex and Wembley apart from the occasion?

 

[shaolinpunk]

It's a shame but I think Calde seems to be more solid defensively whereas Bruno is the better of the two at supporting the attack, so it's not the end of the world. Calde hasn't done much wrong this season

 

[Acker79]

Not worried now that Greer has got back into the habit of actually passing to Calderon.

I had that impression too, until I watched this.

What a great video Love the music

 

[grummitts gloves]

No worries from me. Calde has been great when he's played this season. Maybe spurred on a bit by having competition for his place with Bruno? I actually think Calde and Buckley link up better than Bruno and Buckley.

 

[leigull]

No worries. Prefer Calderon at right back to be honest, and Spanish Dave is fantastic cover there too if need be.

Fantastico.

There's most certainly an added layer of sublime class to our play when Bruno is on the field and that can have us as more of an attacking force, i think. Defensively, things can go a bit poo-shaped, but he is there to roam and flick and pull off the nonchalantly extraordinary. Calde has been superb though this season. He's diehard, back and forth, and a threat during setpieces and some of our breakaways. I miss Bruno for this otherworldliness to him, but Calde is his own brand of dynamite and is a thoroughly decent replacement.

 

[kevo]

Does this mean he *may* be fit for the final if we get through? Good news if so, if only to have back-up for Calde.

 

[brighton_tom]

so its agreed... we all love inigo calderon?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

No. What's the difference on the pitch between the Amex and Wembley apart from the occasion?

He also gets caught out at The Amex! And Wembley is bigger isnt it?

 

[stss30]

I personally think Bruno has been more prone to errors defensively, so I'm pleased Calde will be back.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

Bruno has been poor most of this season, prefer Calderon at right back.

 

[Icy Gull]

Bruno has become a sick note. Has he played more than one full game on the turn in the last few months? Been a shadow of the player we saw early season when he has played recently and struggles to last 90 mins. I'd rather have Calde under the circumstances
