Captain, my Captain

Remember STFC Captain Paul Caddis, who famously didn't go out on the lash with the rest of the team when his club had won promotion last season?  He was with his new-born child. 

Caddis made over 50 appearances for PigHill in 2011/12, and in May 2012, he signed a one year contract extension, taking his contract up to the end of 2013/14.  

Caddis: (May 2012)

"It's something I thought would happen - I'm happy here and the club are happy to have me," Caddis told BBC Wiltshire.   The manager likes me and people behind the scenes have complimented me on the way I've put myself about.  It's a bit of security for myself and I just hope by the end of my contract I'll be playing in the Championship with Swindon."

So what could possibly go wrong?
Caddis apparently returned to pre-season from his family in Scotland, but not 100% ready.  

PDC dropped him as Captain for the first game of the season and he wasn't selected for the first five games of the season.  

PDC: "If he wants to jump again he has to not only come back as he was last year but better because my demands are higher this year.  If I had the same Caddis as last year it would already be a good base because there was availability and desire to improve.  Obviously I do not have a Caddis that is enough for this level.  Of course he has a future here, but now it is up to him.  They have to follow me. And if they don't want to follow me then they are out." 

Come deadline day, Caddis was shipped out to Birmingham City on a season long loan.  

We are Barcelona

PDC's SWindon Town almost squandered a two goal half time lead in the second round of the League Cup against Stoke City, but came back to win 4-3 in extra time.  

"As a perfectionist, I did not enjoy conceding three goals.  But we have to put this game as one of the best in the club's history. In the first half, it looked like Stoke City against Barcelona.  I don't want to exaggerate but I have to say this. It was a shame we went in at half-time with only two goals. It should have finished 5-6.  To win like we did, you have to have fantastic quality and spirit. Those lads deserve this result. It was a good and fair result for them after what they did in the game."
