Potentially, but during the games in Jan/Dec when fans had no knowledge of definite Premier League interest his ratings were still consistently average. It's an interesting point about biases though as you could flip that on its head and argue that during that period some ratings were potentially given generously due to McCallum's age and inexperience.

Mcallum ratings will subliminally go down to some as he’s now perceived as a premier league player by some who will scrutinise more

Conversely some players will perform adequately and as it’s above expectation they get higher

If the guy who say next to me last night rated he’d have given O Hare a 4 or 5 as he didn’t like him primarily as he’s a Villa player I suspect

Some crazy people about I thought O’Hare did really well last night and covered a lot of ground. I was stunned when mom was given to Godden (well I think it was).

Disagree thought he was fine. They closed the backs down effectively but he still covered the ground and didn’t misplace many passes

The Norwich factor is sub conscious so you probably are guilty of it but unaware

We disagree on that then.

It definitely isn’t a factor, but interesting to note you think you know more about the way I think than I do.

I know you love finding old posts, so if you look back through I've never actually rated him as highly as others, so maybe if there is a bias going on its just based on my opinion of his ability as opposed to your theory.

Perhaps focus on supporting the lads on the pitch over the next vital games vs. idle speculation of who you want shipped out.

I don’t want him shipped out I’m illustrating a pattern of behaviour - your pattern of behaviour is frankly disturbing - have you considered therapy?

Surprised you see it this way G,I felt he was locked down quick etc but his passing was off & positional awareness was worrying at times & I’ve always said I rated him welL above mason,it’s prob 1-2 average games they all have them dips I’m sure he will come back to the level he’s set himself but I do feel Southend we could give mason or Giles a run.

Sam will need a rest very soon
It's risky to overplay young players as they don't have the resilience while their bodies are still developing
And as we have options it makes sense to give the lad the odd break
The only question is who will Robins use to replace him
It's likely to be Giles based on the manager's comments after his surprise signing late on deadline day

Well i dont think Macallum was poor. Really? Thats going a bit too far, yes he wasnt briliant.

Take the game into context.

He's off the boil but it happens, perhaps unconsciously worried not to press himself too much in case he gets crocked? He's proved to be the better player in that position and as promotion is the goal I expect MR will play him unless he gets a knock. Giles being brought in should ensure he doesn't get complacent.

For the reason that I’ve stated and the fact his performance yesterday was as good as previous ones
Click to expand...

So I’ve got unconscious bias re his move because you think he played well yesterday?

Again, not being provocative, just trying to understand your rationale.

I think he played well under the circumstances provided by the opposition - it’s like trying to equate a centre forwards performance if he scores a hat trick against a youth team and use that as a measure for how he’d do against a full team in a league game - Portsmouth were a tough team on a great run and had a plan to nullify and at attack in the final third if the game

Thanks Mark

Also I’ll add McCallum is used to the system probably Southend is a good game to let Giles play

I've said before I'd like to be £1 behind Mark Robins
The thing to remember though is who the opposing player(s) is when assessing the performance of a young defender
Of course he will find it more difficult against decent, experienced opponents as he was last night
Portsmouth had won 9 on the trot for a reason

There was a post on facebook that said O'Hare's head injury was karma for missing the open goal against Birmingham.
Any dip in performance, any misplaced pass is pounced upon. Nasty, spiteful and unnecessary.
Let the manager manage.

Footballer misses open goal, shock horror.

Nothing to see here, move on .

I didn't think McCallum was poor with what he did, but it was what he didn't do I thought was noticeable. Didn't get forward nearly as often in the last 2 games as he had been doing previously and it has a massive impact in that formation. I don't think it was the quality of winger he was up against either as he did exactly the same against Bolton.

He was probably trying to be more aware of his defensive role or tired. Be interesting if Giles gets some playtime these next two games
