Yesterday was his 100th appearance for Dale and he scored his 18th goal for the club.
It was also his 35th career goal, meaning over half of them have come since he joined Dale.
Although derided in many quarters (i.e. Port Vale), it shows how much he has progressed under Hill's tutelage and, I'm guessing, some input from Tony Ellis. [Post edited 15 Jan 2017 13:36]

A fantastic achievement and perhaps makes him the ultimate poster boy for Hill's broken-toy philosophy. |  |

Good stat
The thing I admire about Calvin is his attitude. He's found a place to play football where he's appreciated and it shows by his actions, all over the pitch
Up front, out wide, central defence at set pieces, he's using his assets to the maximum and with seeming new-found confidence in his ability. In front of goal, he's stopped snatching at chances and started putting them away. If anything, being sidelined as a result of a moment of madness has brought his game into even greater focus
Keep it up Calvin, you're a winner |  |

Good of him to come over to the away end yesterday. Despite losing he was welcomed. Hope he appreciated the response. | | | |

Very popular player who never stops running for the team. Always shakes the ball-boys' hands after warming up and is just a nice bloke. | | | |

So 18 goals in 40 starts. That's not bad for a so called target man. An incredible turnaround in his form since working under Hill. | |

No, he has scored 10 goals as a substitute and eight when starting. | |

Stats, eh?
Someone will be along to tell us he'd be better off starting from the bench... | |

One of those kind of players who always 'puts a shift in' and his performances over the last 18 months or so have been rewarded with an improved goal scoring record. I and many others always maintained that, despite being a striker by trade, it would be unfair to judge him solely on his goals as that doesn't tell half the story of what he brings to the team. His workrate and willingness to graft for the overall good of the team is nothing short of phenomenal.
How many times have we seen him in our own 18 yard area in the role of an auxiliary defender, making clearing headers and crucial tackles - so much so that I am surprised Keith has never actually played him in that position knowing how he likes to think outside the box with such decisions!
He also comes across a thoroughly likeable and pleasant guy (which is why that one indiscretion was so inexplicable as well as being shocking) and he seems genuinely happy here at the Dale. Another one who seems to have found himself a place to call home under the management of Mr Hill?
Here's to many more similar performances and hopefully plenty more goals? |  |
