scottyscott1963 18,405 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 You could actually hear people applauding and encouraging the big guy at that tackle. Not sure how many were in the stadium,but it sounded quite a few. Really impressed with Leon so far. ps......Also think Connor is up for the challenge as well.

16BlueSherbert90 19,224 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 He appears to be promising. See what happens:) If he is another Amo, that really would be something for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

British_Empire 9,648 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I prefer Helander but I'm starting to take to the guy as a player. Looks comfortable and solid alongside Goldson. It's early days though. A lot of players have came, strolled it then fell away to fuck - but he looks promising. I didn't think he'd be a good signing at all so I'd love him to carry on and prove us wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,558 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 People need to calm down. I remember Dorin Goian starting off incredibly similar and by the January he looked a donkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldson had one or two, but he also bailed out Balogun once, and separately Balogun made a very poor clearance that led to St Mirren's penalty claim/free kick. Goldson, like Tav though, has a history of making mistakes that are costly. Balogun hasn’t yet. It’s entirely understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's particularly fair when he's generally playing well just now, making no fewer mistakes than his partner, but continues to get slated when his partner's rightly adjudged to be playing well. Besides, it's happened before. Was often crucified when Katic was no better but was being lauded. And it was the same to an extent when he partnered Edmundson.

The good thing is, Edmundson is now 5th choice center back. Nothing against the guy, he was a 600k buy from Oldham so I don't expect him to be the next Franco Baresi or anything, but he's a Warburton-type signing. He'll be back down south playing for Walsall or MK Dons in a year or two - with all due respect to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a clear top 3 CBs, Katic who I think can get better then the big man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Helander is the better choice but can't be critical of anything Balogun has done so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can catch him out, but when it comes to the basic art of defending he's excellent. IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
