Calvin Andrew statistics

[gavcradd]

There's been loads of posts on here recently slating Calvin Andrew, so I thought I'd look back through the time he's been here to see if the statistics show anything either way. It might give us more to go on that just the usual "I think he's cack" / "well I trust Micky" arguments.

 

• Calvin Andrew has made 23 Vale appearances, 8 starts and 15 appearances from the subs bench.
   
  
• He's scored one goal, a deflection from Doug Loft's shot against Torquay.
   
  
• In the games he's started, we've lost 5, won 2 and drawn 1 (today, when we actually lost 2-1 if you count just his time on the pitch). Factoring this ratio over the whole of a season would put us on 40 points and in 24th place, bottom of the league.
   
  
• In the 15 games he's come on as a sub, he hasn't had a positive impact in any of them; we haven't scored any goals after he has come on. He has had a negative impact in 2 games (Sheffield United away and Rotherham away) when we conceded 3 goals after he's come on.
   
  
• 3 times when he's started, he's been subbed very early and we've done better without him (Fleetwood at home subbed on 57 mins, lost 2-0 with him but drew 0-0 without him; Exeter at home, subbed on 46 mins, lost 2-0 with him but drew 0-0 without him; Chesterfield away (today), subbed on 64 mins, lost 2-1 with him but won 1-0 without him).
   
  

 

I've no idea how he can justify any more time on the pitch with those stats.

So basically he's ****

[Conrad]

That looks like pretty conclusive evidence against him, as a striker he offers absolutly nothing,zilch,zero.

Purse has a better goal ratio for us than Andrew has.

Stats can be manipulated though. How many times has he been bought on to protect a lead? For example, Cheltenham on Saturday he was bought on for that reason. How many clean sheets have been kept after he's been bought on? Do you have a "stat" for that?

First thing he did Saturday? Clear a corner.

 

This sort of thread is counterproductive at be moment

Pretty sure if we used that logic for quite a few players we could make them look crap.

 

He's no worse than some but the frustration is that we always seem to have a better option.

 

Don't cheer when he comes off and don't boo him when hes on....it's not his fault he keeps getting the nod.

Now is the time for getting over the finishing line, not holding inquisitions, Adams decisions baffle me sometimes but he is the manager we are 2nd and other teams must have the same selection queries. Now is the time for FULL AND UNRESERVED support for whoever pulls on the shirt for the remaining games not negativity

I made this point on another thread. It's not him picking himself.

Was it really worth the effort?

I agree. I have had my opinion on Adams and his selections, but it's all about getting behind the 11 on the pitch at the moment. Anyone who went on Friday or today would have seen how WE can be the 12th man.

JEZZ .. Some folk need to get out more,

[Timothius]

I dont boo any player and he won a couple of decent headers against Cheltenham, but i dont see what he brings to the team that others couldnt and im mystified why he gets the nod to start over others.

[matt 381]

I don't think he's much good but being honest the main problem for me is when he plays he plays with pope up front which is poor tactically I think he'd be half decent playing up from with Williamson but when you've got Pope there's no need to do that

[pvfcrule]

Play Ben instead of him every time?

[mickyferns]

I think he's pants, dont want him start but come the end of the day he can only do his best when selected and as fans we can only do our best get the boys over the line so every game now we go nuts and make as much noise as possible, come the end of the day WHEN we get promoted he will have been part of it.
