Bad Robot 20,988 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Just now, the cry was no said: I never suggested Balogun with Bassey or Simpson, I suggested Balogun and Helander which would (and would have in the past) give Goldson a rest and/or a boot up the arse when his form dipped I'm not screaming for him to be binned, just that he, like every other player should never be undroppable. He currently is due to a lack of options so, as I said before, it's a moot point but if/when both Balogun and Helander are available I'd be dropping Goldson on current form I don’t think he’s ever played Balogun and Helander together even when both fit but it’s a pairing which should have been given a run Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. Make no mistake, if we don’t win league then Gerrard and co will be off and there will be a fire sale of players with a fraction going towards new players. Other worry is that Ross Wilson will almost be in charge of it all. BridgeIsBlue 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club made the decision in the summer if he doesn't sign a new contract he can go for free at the end of the season. I hope someone offers money in January for him, that last night was enough for me, absolute carthorse who thinks he's way better than he is.

AGM_72 3,527 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 If we're ahead or at worst a couple of points behind in January I'll be relieved. The team looks like it needs a proper reset, one we can't get with players away on international duty or playing three games a week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, even if someone offers money. The club have made the decision we'd rather keep him and try to win the league and get access to the CL than sell him for a few million £ in January.

Moody Blue Legend 60,975 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Keen to know the success rate on the big punt right to left Goldson does constantly. If that's a coached tactic, I don't think it's reaping the rewards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's a coached tactic, I don't think it's reaping the rewards. Goldson is capable of finding a man with a long pass and should use that more often when we’re being pressed. The long cross ball passes he hit last night certainly retained possession but didn’t open anything up for us. For that to work the player receiving the pass has to shift it quicker.

The failure starts from the pedestrian pace we play from the back, it allows the opposition to get everyone back, then we play in front of their defensive block, with no one willing to have a dig preferring to take the easy square ball option. crazy bob swollenbaws 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Despite some horrendous performances we are still top of the league. It is frustration that is leading to this doom and gloom outlook that many have. We know we can play much better than we have been this season. We can still get number 56 and the riches that come with it but we are definitely going to have to do it the hard way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
