Maybe down to his injuries, have read that he has been a bit injury prone. Lets hope he get a good run of games and injury free.brooks said:

Hallo Bees Fans, 
He sounds like a good acuuisition!Dr Cyclops said:
I'm personally gutted that Calum has left London Road and his departure has crowned a gloomy week for our club. I wouldn't give too much credence to some of the negative points made about him here and by some of the miserable non-attendees who frequent some of the Posh sites.
Calum stayed at Posh for just over two years having been a loanee initially. He was signed full-time in a typical Barry Fry deal - 5k up up front and a grand a month for two years
What the stats don't highlight is that of the 50 starts Calum made, he was compelled to play on the wing on at least ten occasions (Fry's tactical nous), has had 8 (I think) different strike partners and has undeniably been plying his trade in a struggling side. Notwithstanding this, he has been the club's top scorer. The current leading scorer (Danny Crow who has made far more starts) took eight games to open his account this term - Calum, having missed the opening games, took eight minutes to get off the mark.
You've got a decent acquisition who is going to get better. He's only got the equivalent of a single full season under his belt and a move to a relatively successful side near home will likely be the catalyst to bring out the very best in him.
Pro'sBlistering acceleration - it's hard to ascertain what his top speed is as he's invariably taken the defender out of the play after the first five yards and subsequently checks his pace to look up knowing his marker is a speck in the rear-view mirror.
Good finishing - his record speaks for itself. I only have recollection of one tap-in. If your midfield can play decent through balls on the deck, he'll get a shedload for you.
Good temperament - won't collect silly yellows although he managed one for moderate 'over-celebration' recently.
Youth - I think he was 23 in October - he'll certainly be worth more than you paid for him before this term is over.
Con'sInjuries - He missed our early games following a pre-season collision with the Doncaster Rovers 'keeper, that's just bad luck but he has had a couple of hamstring problems owing to his pace (and possibly the training regime at Posh).
Aerial - He will steal in from nowhere and score a few with his head, he even managed to power one in from outside the box against Orient. That said, he's not the sort of player who will rise salmon-like from a crowd of players and nod the ball firmly downwards at the feet of a team-mate. His flick-ons can be perceptive sometimes.
All in all, I'm sorry to see 'The Truth' (yes, really!) leave Posh but wish him a very happy and successful time with you guys. He hasn't had the sunshine and lollipop time at Posh that his talent deserves but I'm sure if you Bees get behind him, he won't disappoint you.
Good luck for the rest of this term
