Di Canio to make late decision on Caddis
4:00pm Thursday 16th August 2012 in Sport
Paul Caddis could return for Town on Saturday
SWINDON manager Paolo Di Canio will decide tomorrow morning whether or not former captain Paul Caddis will be involved in his side’s opening day clash with Hartlepool.
The Italian stripped the right back of the captain’s armband and replaced him with Alan McCormack after questioning Caddis’ attitude, and the Scot was sat in the stand for Town’s 3-0 Capital One Cup victory over Brighton on Tuesday night.
But Di Canio has left the door open for Caddis to return, and will make a late decision on whether or not to take him to the North East.
“I will decide tomorrow morning, but Paul Caddis is one of my 24 players in here," he said.
“Every day I will judge my players, and if he satisfies me maybe he will travel and maybe he will play.”
Gary Roberts and James Collins will return to the squad following injury and international duty respectively, but Di Canio is undecided whether or not they will start.

On a different note, does anyone know what our ticket allocation is? Tickets can only be bought on the day up at Hartlepool and that is a long way to go only to find that all tickets have been sold.
I am taking "she who must be obeyed" who would not be best pleased if that happened!

I have heard on the grapevine that our next signing will be Maris Piper who currently plays for Wilja in the Netherlands.
He was educated locally at King Edward School in Bath, and Maris and his girlfriend Desiree have been recently spotted at the County Ground.

Good to see that Caddis is still in his reckoning!

No panic on tickets and plently of space to accomodate the travelling Swindon fans.
Never been a problem before. Don't worry Mossy.

I understand he has have blue blood, being related to King Edward. He also has a huge chip on his shoulder which will probably lead to a few roatings from Paolo.

Interesting bit of news. A few days ago I'd have had a decent bet that Caddis wouldn't play for us again. I suppose I should know better by now than try to predict PDC's actions. If he gets back into the side, with McCormack as captain, I reckon that will be a pretty good outcome. Devera would have every right to feel a bit miffed if he loses his place tomorrow though. I thought he did well enough on Tuesday to deserve a start.

For me Caddis is a must have in this team and to have lost him would have been very careless.
Yes every player is replaceable, but
over the last two seasons I always felt we have looked a lesser side when he has been unavailable, no matter who covered his position.
Great to know he is back in contention.

He was run ragged by Craig noone lucky he couldn't cross to save his life,
Wrong player in wrong position, but we still won

He is much better in the air than Caddis, and that came in useful when Brighton were trying to hit long diagonal balls to their left wing. Caddis is the better footballer but I'm not sure he's the better defender.

The problem with last year's is that my laptop got stolen with the data on it and I've had to rebuild it all - I thought I'd completed it but found some strange scores so just going back through to make sure they're all correct.
