Goldson plays every game. He's hardly missed a game since he joined. RCB is not up for grabs.

He was only signed as everyone was expecting Goldson to leave. Now that's no longer the case he's surplus to requirements.

I mean, that would be mental to just have 1 player for every position. He had a bad game and won’t be a starter. 

But he’s certainly not surplus to requirements.

Souttar should have no issues playing on that pitch as he would have with hearts several times. 

Exactly. Early days but I’m assuming Soutter ends up as back up only. 

[Ross-Gazza genius 1,933]

Ffs it's the start of the season in a new team and system, give him time to settle in. He wasn't great today but he'll get better for it, I'd also say that Sands was good when he came on and I'm sure someone on here said he couldn't win a header 😂🤦.

Calvin Bassey had a worse game away to St Mirren and is a £20M player. And he was also written off on here funnily enough. 
Before anyone starts, i’m not saying they are comparable but the reaction to their performances certainly is. 

Bassey was a young guy with no experience, Souttar knows this league and is 25.

You can't compare that, come on.

No, the Spurs game. But even today, if thats up there with one of the worst performances people have seen then fuck knows who people have been watching for the last 10 years. 

Not really. You can't compare him to what we witnessed from 2012-2018 but in the context of us being title challengers (pre-2012 and 2018-onwards) it was one of the worst debuts we've seen. 

[Bakbear 3,586]

Signed as a contingency for Goldson leaving. Goldson stayed. He won’t get any game time when everyone is fit. 

[Big Al 55 9,323]

Davies plays lcb for me, just not ready. A bit concerned for Tuesday at how fragile defence looks.

Unless we play three at the back I don’t see Souttar playing much.

[Creampuff 22,628]

No point waiting to judge him on how he plays on the right. No chance he’s getting in there ahead of Goldson.

[BlueSuedeSambas 54,607]

Can’t believe I’ve just read somebody saying he’s surplus to requirements. He didn’t play well today at all, but talk about a kneejerk reaction.

 

[Inigo 32,719]

There's no doubt the boy's had a poor start in a Rangers jersey. Was really, really bad today.

Hopefully just a false start. Needs time.

[Zappa6995 3,693]

He wont play on that pitch every week or be up against Nouble but he’ll need to up his game significantly.

[Bluekev 44,682]

Thank fuck he was free judging by today but I’m hoping and confident he’ll improve.

But we don't have just one player for RCB. We have King, Katic and Sands who can all play there. And critically they can all play LCB better than Souttar as well.

Can't get much worse. Today was Jack Simpson levels of shit.

I clearly stated i’m not comparing the players, I’m comparing the reaction. 

[steven33jackie 1,972]

His positioning was really poor and physically wasn't up to it. Hate to judge a player on one game and it's never easy to play on the opposite side of the defense, but it looks like he is already a player for early rounds of the cup and cover for injuries. Think Sands will start on Tuesday and as soon as Davies is ready he will be the starter on the left

We’re now quite some way off the original statement though arent we. 

Ok, i’ll give you that from 2018 until now its one of the worst debuts you’ve seen. Any further movement of the goal posts required?

[RFC55 110,289]

Thanks for

your efforts Jon

Boy is gunk

 

[islanderbear84 614]

In my view there shouldn't be a great deal of distinction needed between LCB and RCB. The attackers coming at you aren't only going to try and get by you down one side, unlike wingers and therefore LB and RB aren't interchangeable, but a CB should be able to play either central position in a back 4.

I hope it was just debut nerves, coupled with that pitch, but he has played on it before so should know what to expect, and he should be accustomed to dealing with a big powerful striker IMO.

My original statement was that it was up there with the worst I've ever seen. 

What goal posts were moved in your head? 

[GOAT 30,449]

This whole left sided centre half position excuse doesn’t wash.  He’s a defender his first job is to fucking defend.  Hes failed that so far.  He would have been bullied for their goal no matter what side of the 18 yard box he was on. 

[RS4_wul 4,161]

He was utter gash today, all over the shop, but not going to write him off after 1 competitive game.

Even though he was honking tbf

I was getting flashbacks to Rob Kiernan.

[DW1872 1,213]

Tough start, hopefully more to come from him. Many players have had a slow start and been successful.

Having said that, thank fuck Goldson signed on.
