Goldson and Souttar the way forward, see how much we can get back on Davies and get another cb in. 

The problem is we can't rely rely on souttar to be a starter due to his injury history. 

I can't see him ever being anything but a 3rd choice.

Really like the look of that American centre half from Arsenal.

That guy, Goldson, Souttar and King would be ideal as options for next year.

King shouldn’t be anywhere near it tbh. Especially with Souttar (and now Goldson) looking injury prone.

I’d get King out on loan.

The one on loan at Birmingham? Trusty?

Said it when most doubted him I thought he’d be absolutely fine.

Him and Nico were outstanding today.

[GersInCanada 7,775]

I was wrong about Soutter. He is a much better player than I gave him credit for.

King and Lowry not being loaned out in January is looking a stranger decision by the month.

Both of them need a good 30-40 game season under their belts then they’ll be able to contribute far more.

Aye, that's the one.

[BlueboyG 5,238]

Playing better than i thought he would/could.

[KeyserSoze 14,545]

I like how he throws his body at a shot to block

Something we haven’t had in some time 

definitely growing on me.  

[AGM_72 3,634]

Injuries are really the only issue with Souttar, hope he'll go on to be a good signing.

[cameron1873 511]

Thought he was excellent today. Didn't think he had that sort of composed performance in him. 

Hope we can keep him fit next season

So good you typed it twice.

Have to be honest, I held his injury history against him.

Showed today that he is capable of filling Goldson's boots. He marshallad young King well and was good going forwards too.

Our defence was an absoulute shambles without goldson last season. Souttar might be the man to fill the void.

[CXB 4,324]

Excellent player, if he can stay injury free what an asset he will be.

[BlueSuedeSambas 53,789]

Talented player but yet another player who falls under the “if he can stay fit category”, and that means we will probably never be able to fully rely on him or build the defence around him.

[scottyscott1963 18,328]

Was dissapointed when we signed him,knowing his injury woes.
Read somewhere a while back the club had his injury cause operated on,and it was a success.
Really looked the part yesterday and could be a brilliant signing for our future.

Not too sure. Got a feeling his injury problems in the past may not be an issue in the future.

[Smile 26,610]

Played well yesterday and his passing was excellent as well, much more variation than Goldson and didn't struggle against the piss poor Nisbet like Goldson has in the past.

[esquire8 42,756]

Will say him and King dealing with crosses and passes through first time rather than letting them go through and letting someone else deal with it ala Goldson and Davies was very noticeable.

Solid no-nonsense defending and productive with the ball.

[ForeverAndEver 71,502]

He can fair ping a ball btw  passing was ridiculous yesterday

[gmcf 34,202]

Good solid CH , a threat up front at set pieces too . Something we've lacked in recent times .

[nik2402 1,319]

Really like him. Always have. Can’t be fooled into trusting him to being first choice next season though. He’s a great option to have as 3rd or 4th choice centre half going into next season and if he’s playing like he has last few weeks then he will force his way in.

On a side note seen a few saying say king done well. He’s not ready to be considered a first team centre half for me. Needs a good year out on loan see how he does. Gives me the fear at times on the ball and switches off too easily when marking. I was hoping after the learning curve he went through at the start of the season he’d have looked improved yesterday. Didn’t see anything to suggest that. Hope he can kick on.

With King to me it looks like the majority of the key components of his game are there, he just needs to mature & settle down a bit.  
 

A season long loan sounds like the best option to me. 

[Badger 8,662]

He needs to stay fit. There is a lot to like about him as a player. A bit of a throwback CB, but he can play a bit too.

If you could depend on him to play 45 games a season he'd be our main CB for the next 7-8yrs.
