bluenoz 30,971 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 I always thought he was the best defender at the club. His clearing header at the end was top notch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

beararse 6,386 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Helander for me, but Balogun is an exceptional back up. Read somewhere yesterday that we are yet to lose a league game with Helander in the first 11 since he signed back in July ‘19 If correct, it tells you all you need to know.

Darth Bear 15,113 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Agreed although when you see Balogun on the team sheet you don't get the fear. Our defence has been something else all season, hopefully they keep it up and break new records as we cruise to the title. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaka 1,686 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 17 minutes ago, simplythebest said: I think Balogun a bit more than back up with the number of games he’s played I think part of that is due to injuries and managing Helander's workload. If both players are fit, we got to start with Helander. Both are good defenders but Helander is more composed and the rest of the defence seem to play better when he plays.

simplythebest 11,453 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 If we can keep Balogun for another year with Katic back CB is a position we won’t need to strengthen next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmcf 34,350 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 He was superb tonight . Is he better than Balogun ? I truly don't know , they both have their own attributes . I'm just glad we have both , and whoever partners Goldson has never let the side down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big mans been class, long may it continue. People slagged Balogun as well saying that we showed a lack of ambition in signing him. Sure @British_Empire was one of his biggest critics before he even kicked a ball 😂 Can see Helander going for big money in the future just hope that he and the rest of the first team stay for a crack at the Champions league.

The Beast 9,230 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 It's close but for me Helander is better apart from Balogun's pace where he has the edge. It's a good problem to have though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t and never did make him a bad player. Too many people fawned over balogun after one decent game at start of the season, without looking at the bigger picture of how better others play when helander is playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
