First Half Analysis
Callum looked very lively and eager to please the home fans. He charged down the Scunthorpe whenever possible, forcing errors in the defence. His flair and skill is obvious for all to see with a series of mazy runs and stepovers.
Second Half
46 mins: Callum plays a classy through ball to George Moncur, which earns a corner.
46 mins: Callum takes the corner himself that is deflected behind for another corner. The second corner is whipped beautifully into the 6 yards box and Tom Eastman narrowly misses the header.

85 mins: The Charlton man plays a cute through ball over the top to Sammie Szmodics, however he cant control it well enough to keep it in.
88 mins: Callum rockets a shot towards the far corner, however it gets blocked by Murray Wallace.
90 mins: Announced as Man of the Match.
Second Half Analysis
Much the same as the first half, Callum shows the home fans he is going to be a lot for opposition defenders to deal with. He has bags full of tricks and has been a pleasure to watch on his debut for the club. Looks very good at dead ball set pieces, constantly whipping the ball into the danger area with his left foot. Provided the assist for the equalising goal.
Full Time Analysis
Throughout the 90 minutes, Callum constantly threatened the Scunthorpe defence. He beat his man with ease on most occasions, making each Colchester United attack he was involved in a dangerous one. Unlucky not to get on the score sheet himself, however he did provide the assist for George Elokobi's equalising goal. The Colchester fans and Callum himself can be very pleased with this opening man of the match awarding display.
