I thought he was great today. Strong and quick something i cant think seeing a youth player having these qualities for a while. Had a few good chances to score but created a few too. What was everyone elses opinion on the lad?

Thought he had a good game, he linked up with Doyle really well, created a few chances and was unlucky not to score.

Young fella has bags of energy and enthusiasm to get on the ball. That 90 mins will do him a great deal of good. Still has a lot of raw edges - but there is a player in there.

I take it i'm in a minority when I say I thought he looked a bit slow?
He is however good at taking players on. Some of his twists and turns at the side of the box were impressive and showed his desire to get into the box and to make space for crosses. But I think he needs to work on his pace. There were a couple of times when he had the opportunity to get one on ones with the goal keeper, but couldn't beat the last defender for pace.

Didn't look out of place at all.
Think I'm in a minority but thought he tired and faded last 20 mins but overall can be pleased with his performance.

If I remember correctly it was he who passed the ball over the Wotherspoon for his goal so that will surely go down as an assist?
I thought he put in a real shift today. It is refreshing that he seem to have a genuine option on the bench and I think he will only get better as the season progresses.

He reminded me of a young Garry O'Connor but perhaps should have been subbed after about 75mins by Kuci because he seemed to run out of steam.

Impressed. I think we missed Griffiths though.

I thought Caldwell was excellent today, nit much of a goal threat but a really good target man, hi showed real strength in keeping the ball and linked well with the rest of the team

In the cairney point I agree, I wasn't impressed withbDeegan I'm sure I read Mcgivern can play wide left ? Pit him there and cairney into the middle in place of Deegan

For 75 minutes he was excellent and like what everyone is saying he was like a young GOC. For the last 15 minutes he was like an old GOC. He should have been subbed but that game will benefit him. The boy has got a chance to really shine. For an 18 year old he was impressive

Played well for seventy. Just needs more time. I don't doubt he'll come good though. Impressed with what I seen.

The lack of reserve league makes it even hard for youngsters to bridge the gap between youth and first team these days - so its to his immense credit the way he played in that 90 mins.
The fact that it did not look like his first full start + 90 mins says a lot. His fantastic winning of the ball and finding Spoony in space to get his goal was a highlight. He worked and closed down and did well in the air - like most strikers would benefit from a run of games with partner to get to know their game (like he and Handling have had) I also thought that the manager was clever in using this particular game after such a good positive support from the stands last week - we really need to get Stanton and possibly Handling blooded in the same way to give us options and progress with the tight squad we have
Slight aside - but the way the whole team celebrated Spoonys goal said volumes for team spirit....

I was thoroughly impressed by Caldwell today, really good in the air as well as closing down the Caley defence when they had possession. Keep it up!

I thought he was excellent today, I watched him closely all game and he didn't give the ball away once, his hold up play was great and he was unlucky not to score. All that was missing from his performance was a goal.
I would much rather pay to watch young guys like that, work there balls off for 90mins than washed up has beens like kuqi etc.

Watching him yesterday, in my opinion he's easily much more of a team player, more aware of whats happening around him and better on the Ball than O'Connor ever was, the question is can he score goals at this level?

Was described by someone at the club as 'like Steven Fletcher, but with two good feet.'
Hope he lives up to that billing, he certainly looked the pat yesterday.
The Rams have been forced to play the young lad Patterson and I reckon Caldwell looks twice the player he is.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)
