Is there something going on with Cantwell behind the scenes?

[SparkRFC]

I could be talking nonsense but I don’t understand how he doesn’t even get on today when he can be a game changing player.

Just a couple days ago he posted “A bird can’t fly in a cage” that could be nothing but it also could be something we don’t know. At first I thought it was nothing but after today him not getting any minutes I am starting to think there might be something going on.

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Don't think him and Clement have ever really seen eye to eye.

Cantwell flatters to deceive

 

[BBBear]

I thought too when he signed he could be a game changer but the guy has 5 goals and 4 assists for a rangers number 10?

Hes nowhere near as good as he thinks he is

 

[Ally]

It’s in front of the scenes mate. We can all see it. He doesn’t affect games.

 

[madride]

When’s the last time he changed a game?

In peoples heads rather than in reality

In saying that with what we’ve got I also thought he’d come on at some point 2nd half

Maybe doesn't fit in with Clement's tactics of constantly blootering the ball 60ft in the air

 

[TheOnlyTeamForMe]

Too worried about tiktok and cryptic Instagram posts. He can go also if he likes.

Cantwell flatters to deceive

Flutters to deceive if we go with the bird analogies...

 

[SIRBLUE]

It's fairly clear that he's not Clement's type of player.
No great loss if he's moved on

He was class in the semi final

No idea why he didn't get on. I'm presuming he's injured

 

[Godrup99]

He's an attention seeker who is way better in his own mind than he is on the pitch. I don't know how many I've said head down, forget social media and start performing but he never does.

 

[Rt. Hon. Bearman]

All his social media cryptic posts are unprofessional as f.uck.

Turn up, train hard, and make yourself undroppable.

If you run off to whinge on social media like some wee lassie when the going gets tough then it’s little wonder the manager doesn’t respect you.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Overrated and hopefully not here next season but he’s better than Lawrence.

Well done Philippe Clement for not learning after the last old firm re: Lawrence.

 

[JD1872]

Get the feeling he will be gone in the summer, he has had a terrible season

 

[LoyalAndBlue82]

He's bang average and his social media posts , are let's be honest, a clear dig at management

He'll be first out the door in the summerb

 

[John Mckillop]

Like Todd,but no player bigger than the club

 

[Big Hepy]

something about a cage or something

 

[Myogi]

Thinks he knows better.

There is a reason he was a bench-warmer for mid table championship Norwich when we got him, can look good on the eye but isn't willing to take instructions on board.

 

[CaliforniaBlue1872]

Who could have seen something like this coming from the guy that wasnt getting a game at Norwich and posting similar messages when there.....

 

[RabSpackman]

Don't think him and Clement have ever really seen eye to eye.

I think it is as simple as that.

Cantwell was hooked in a couple of matches for not following instruction, dropped for a few… I don’t think Clement feels he can trust him and there’s only ever one outcome from that.

 

[MFM_Bear]

He's just as pish as the rest of them.

 

[The Logan Roy Experience]

Cantwell is simply not good enough , don’t understand why folk get so concerned about how he might be feeling, he’s fell on his feet being signed by us / getting his own song etc

 

[Walter the Great]

Lundstram fvcked his chance of getting on today - after that moron’s actions we were fire-fighting with no room for a “luxury” player!

 

[justice1]

Cantwell doesn’t follow instructions , team shape , positional etc. and always seems to wanna flick , no look pass or something when an easy pass is what’s needed. He’s got talent but he’s not as good as he thinks in a team.

 

[barneythebear]

if he was half the player he thinks he is we would be on to something.

 

[madride]

He was class in the semi final

No idea why he didn't get on. I'm presuming he's injured

True probably his best game of the season.

Too often off it though but then who hasn’t been recently

 

[WATP_74]

He was shit against Newcastle in pre-season and it’s not got much better since.

 

[Stevie13000]

Cantwell flatters to deceive

Still a better bet than playing Lawrence.

 

[RandyMac]

I’d have taken Cantwell in crutches over Tom Lawrence today.

 

[legalbeagle]

Given how the formation had to go after the red card there wasn’t really a role for him tbh

 

[TheRoofeIsOnFire]

He’ll be away in the summer

 

[BrooklynBlue]

Better than Lawrence and I would have put him on beside Dessers or even instead of Roofe.

 

[Kingdom Bear]

Still a better bet than playing Lawrence.

Not much to choose between them imo … both abysmal in games that matter

 

[ohstefanklos]

Hes mid table championship level at best

 

[Chocolateleftfoot]

Should have started ahead of Lawrence, who was poor again but once we went to 10 men he was never getting on. He isn't disciplined enough without the ball.

 

[Jelle1880]

He's just not that great. Won't mind if he's moved on

 

[strathavenbear]

Bar the odd flash he's been awful all season.

 

[Clay Davis]

He doesn’t provide enough and he’s easily wound up when it’s not going our way.

Lawrence was pish but Cantwell wasn’t the answer today.

 

[Pentasa]

So even though he didn't play today some folk are still slagging him off, that's pretty impressive even for FF

 

[Bristol_bnose3]

A luxury we can ill afford.

And when I say ‘luxury’ I mean relatively mediocre.

 

[Blu_ultra]

Meh. Decent sometimes. Not nearly as good as he thinks. Better at talking the talk, but rarely walks the walk.

 

[James Mclean]

A legend in his own head, name 1 game he stood out when it mattered, there's none. End of.

 

[RTD-BEAR]

It's just marketing on social media they all do it for freebies and extra money

 

[Stevie13000]

You at least get some energy and running from Cantwell, you get hee haw from Lawrence.

 

[Kentbear]

I honestly don't give a fvck, another weekend wrecked.

 

[Willger]

He's a better option than Lawrence, Raskin, McCausland or Wright. Obvious the manager doesn't see eye to eye with him.

 

[Zandermc]

Reminds me of Josh Windass. Thinks he’s better than he is.

 

[Moe Szyslak]

Can’t be bothered with all the cryptic insta pish. He has ideas above his station about how he influences our team. Too many players similar to him in their thinking in my opinion. Scoring goals and winning games is what we want . 4 games against the tinks and we have 1 point to show.

 

[Blue-Knows]

6 goals and 6 assists in 41 appearances this season. Can have no complaints about not getting on today.
