Out of interest, what does he show? Right, I'll try and explain. I like his playing style; he's a good footballer and keeps the ball moving. He also is suited to a style of football that I'd rather see us play than hoofing it up the pitch. However, I understand lots of people disagree with that and don't think he's the right fit for us. What I don't like is the personal stuff. The 'Captain Fantastic' and the 'Marbella' jibes are unneeded and cause a reaction like he got today, which was shameful. IF we were talking about a mercenary or a poor professional like Lathaniel Rowe-Turner or Andy Halls then I'd 100% understand, but Glendon is clearly a hard worker and has been rated and made captain by every manager he has had at our club - are they all wrong but you are right? Where you are I are clearly different is that you rate Woodthorpe and Peers, where I feel they are both miles off it for a promotion-chasing team. However, they're clearly both hard-working lads and give their all each week . I'm a grown man, so therefore I don't need to start a crusade against them regardless of whether they're good enough. Like I say, I can disagree about players all day long but I really felt for GG today. He was absolutely nowhere near the worst player on the pitch - Jack Bainbridge, if you were wondering - but took the brunt of it. Cheering when he went off was absolutely embarrasing behaviour. Agree with all of this. Only thing I would say about Glendon is he is literally Frank Lampard and therefore really needs goal contributions to make his style worthwhile - he was superb for that last season to be fair. I think the issue people have is the captaincy. He doesn’t fit the traditional definition of a captain on the pitch and I agree with them on that. |

Frank Lampard could use his left foot and be a leader on the pitch... Meant in terms of style of play. All Lampard ever did was pass and then pop up late in the box to score. Glendon did that last season, but if he isn’t providing G/A then it’s too much of a luxury at our level. |

You’ve got the team that embodies your captain that I warned you about last summer. Gutless, spineless, frightened of showing the alleged ability that 4 devachatters keep droning on about that they’ve seen at some stage in the last 5 years. Either way, it’s going to get Cal sacked and we’re going to be stuck watching him trying to sneeze the ball off the opposition team until the end of the season. Bring on 10th. |

Going nowhere with shite like him in the team. Get rid. Might keep the ball then, rather than give it away 10 times a game like he does. Only here because of his dad.
Shite.

He might not be the greatest footballer, but can’t be faulted for effort. Glendon on the other hand has been poor all season and his contribution is minimal.

Crazy how many times we can't beat a side and you don't notice their centre mids, they can just win a header and play simple passes.
Agree with what was said on Bainbridge, because we've been crying out for a big lad in the middle we've probably overlooked what he is. Today sadly showed he's pretty limited in terms of his passing.
Some of our favourites have been way off it in this run since Stockton away. Id go back to not looking like they know how to create chances though, Cal's shortcoming this season and last.

A game always sticks in my mind with Glendon and it was during the season B&J got sacked and Watson was struggling to get the team going. Tuesday night v Brackley, who are always tough, and most of us expected us to lose. Glendon was benched. For 60-70 minutes we were really good, played with purpose, Weeks scored a cracker and we looked good for a win. Then Glendon came on, and we resorted to tippy tappy triangles, give it to Glendon, Glendon gets it back, Glendon gives it to someone else, gets it back, it wasn't like he was doing anything wrong but the tempo and dynamics of the game changed and our dominance was visibly waning. It was no surprise when we let in a soft equaliser at the end.
I went to school with a lad who had a decent career at Evo Stik level. I chatted with him once and he said that as a player who had never played higher than that, there were times when he wondered what he was doing on the same pitch as some of the lads who had come down the leagues from Premier League academies, but overall he outperformed them just by being consistent and high-performing. That's Glendon to a T for me. I'd kill for an Iain Howard or Ashley Williams at the moment. Players for whom this is their ceiling but they can reach it week in week out.

I think you said he’s ’next off the conveyor belt’ and you tell others they know nothing about football…. Peers has been really, really poor as well. They are both so far off a team aiming to win a league. I don’t hold any malice towards either because watching TP’s interview he’s obviously trying his hardest and cares about what’s going on. You don’t pick up on it, though, because a) it’s a game of opinions or b) you have your favourites, like we all do. But it’s wrong to single any player out, especially to the extent you do about Glendon - you’re seemingly delighted when it goes wrong because you can tell everyone you’re right. How many of your last 100 posts are about Glendon? I’d say 70% minimum. The only time I remember being that bent out of shape about one of our players was when James Vaughan was playing for us and people were telling me he was there on merit. It absolutely did my head in and I was like a broken records. I was 12, though. |

Is it really that big a deal that Glendon spoke to Radcliffe in the summer? Not defending his recent performances, but suspect he’d be far from the only player of ours when their contract is nearing the end to look seriously at what else is on the table before agreeing to stay.

Matty Williams didn’t sign a deal for ages as he was clearly looking elsewhere which never materialised. He doesn’t get the amount of abuse Glendon does… It’s non league, most players are on one year deals and there’s nothing wrong with ensuring you have a club for the next year. |

Not for me it isn’t. It’s a short career and they have to get the best deal that they can for themselves. But his performances this season clearly show that he can’t be arsed with the club. Thought he was one of the better players last season. Disgraceful yesterday though. |

Nothing to do with favourites, but more to do with not accepting players dialling it in. If your captain’s regularly one of those then that will impact the group. We’re seeing it again, you’re denying it again and a mid table finish beckons again. |

The tactics are not right, they don’t get the best out of any of our team including GG and DW but for Johnson, Morley, Watson and now Cal to have made him their first name on the team sheet tells you his character is good and he’s got the talent. We’ve got to use it. Or we could just get Iain Howard back alongside Billy Heath. That’ll sort it. |

Johnson & Morley got sacked because results turned sour as the midfield didn’t work, Watson dropped him for large swathes of his spell (first name on team sheet is total rubbish) and Cal has recommitted to last season by persisting with a style of play that didn’t work last season. If you cannot see the pattern or are unwilling to I cannot help you. Here’s a novel idea, let’s play Heathball without the players. Great to watch. |

That being said he isn't a target man and I think being our make shift target man has shattered his confidence. Our style of play is pass it round the back then hoof it to Peers, who usually has two big centre backs up against him with no support. We either need to find a way to get our wing backs high or make use of some actual wingers as it's painful viewing at present. I feel for the players as it always feels like we never have options in wide or attacking areas, and when we try (like putting Kurt our Caton out wide) it just isn't theor position, and again it seems to be killing their confidence. |

I feel for the players as it always feels like we never have options in wide or attacking areas, and when we try (like putting Kurt our Caton out wide) it just isn't theor position, and again it seems to be killing their confidence. You feel for the players? 😂 They’re a gang of cowards. Asking players to do what they're not good at, week in week out will affect their confidence. Similarly asking a collection of similar non battling midfield players to play together without an outball is asking for trouble. Ask Lee Carsley. |

Twaddle on NW & TP. Peers scored 24 goals at this level a couple of season ago, Woodthorpe his definitely shown he’s good enough for this level so far this season, but I acknowledge he’s dropped off recently (as they all have). Dialling it in means disappearing for months on end throughout the season? He’s done it every season he’s been here. Obviously did it at full time yesterday too. Johnson & Morley got sacked because results turned sour as the midfield didn’t work, Watson dropped him for large swathes of his spell (first name on team sheet is total rubbish) and Cal has recommitted to last season by persisting with a style of play that didn’t work last season. If you cannot see the pattern or are unwilling to I cannot help you. Here’s a novel idea, let’s play Heathball without the players. Great to watch. He may have scored 24 goals at this level, but Macc in the NPL didn’t want him last season and that was for a reason. He’s been really poor for us. Is it because he’s not good enough or is it the tactics not getting the best of him? Why does he get away with it? Because he’s not the elected scapegoat, but the single biggest improvement we could make to this side is a proper centre forward. I think he gets away with it because however well he's playing he works his balls off for the team and fans. |
