Big Al 55 9,249 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I suspect they’ll be rotated depending on opposition, which is never the best idea imo. I think it’s clear Katic is last out of the 4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,606 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Should be Goldson and Katic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusDa Beasley 1,035 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Had my doubts about Katic’s passing last season, but defensively he’s a monster. And Edmundson looks quick, solid and his range of passing is superb. Those two for me right now. Blue Avenger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I've got a sneaking suspicion Helander and Edmundson are going to end up the top two. They'll all get good game time though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBOO72 4,372 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Going purely on this preseason Goldson is bottom of the pecking order for me. Helander obviously hasn't had the same game time so it's perhaps more difficult to judge him but he looked good today. Edmundson has been the standout of the 4 imo and although I think Katic is the least talented of the group there's no denying he's our far most potent threat in the opposition box. Great situation to be in in terms of depth of quality but if there's one partnership in the team I'd like to play consistently it's the cb pairing. Big decisions ahead for the manager.

TopCat 4,511 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Katic and Goldson for me at this moment in time. Thankfully we have 4 good players in that position so it doesn't really matter what the pairing is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,920 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Think it will be Goldson & Helander. But the attitude from both Katic and Edmunson is fantastic. It's a big decision to make as it's one position you don't want to be chopping and changing week by week. My one concern is the fact that Goldson seems to want far to many touches before passing the ball into the midfield. terry739 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misteral 2,932 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 ATM, it's too difficult a call as we haven't been tested too much, so I'm not fussed who starts and trust SG to get it right depending on the opponent. I have a feeling Goldson might end up 4th choice, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to win leagues you need to get the defence right and we are looking strong in there. So far (without having been seriously tested mind you) I've been most impressed with Katic (absolute beast and first choice for me) and Edmondson (fastest and best distribution plus solid in the air and loves a tackle) Haven't looked forward to a season as much for a long, long time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronniescu 2,970 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Katic & Edmundson. Goldson runs & plays like a big fuckin wummin. LegendofCoop 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,289 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Is Goldson in there first because of his price tag and he played some EPL games? IMO he looked a bit of a liability at times last season due to his limited pace. For me, Katic is the first choice and any of the other 3 will do when all fit. Katic literally will run through brick walls and knows how to head the ball in every situation. Goldson doesn't always fill me with confidence in one on ones either. Wouldn't mind seeing what a Latic/Edmundson pairing would be like. Have a feeling for league/Europe, it will be Goldson/Hellander and for cup games Katic/Edmundson.

Broxi 11,484 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I'm also leaning towards Katic and Edmundson based on actual on field performance alone, taking away price tags and reputation and ages etc. I find it quite sad that no matter what the best pairing is that it's still going to be Goldson and Helander no matter what Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,915 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 It will be Goldson & Helander! One is vice captain, the other cost £4m! Rightly or wrongly, they will be first choice. In saying that, I don't feel, based on what we've seen so far that there is too much between all 4! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Goldson and Katic have the shirts - theirs to lose Everyone assuming two at the back --- believe we will go into some games this season with a back three Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nk89 1,289 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Goldson Edmundson for me, but do think you will see 3 at the back a bit more, europe home n away n parkhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverAndEver 71,482 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 People are basing everything on Katic winning headers, Goldson was so much better last season, and Katic hasn't looked great at all so far, today aside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson played every game when fit last season, even after he had a few stinkers he was never dropped unlike katic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
