Interesting Clement saying the plan was to drop Goldson against Dundee but big Leon was sick.

Has he said that?  That's a statement and a half if so.  

[Laudrupsleftfoot 10,941]

Pretty much faultless bar one pass out of play.

Yeah mate just said it post match. Saying Goldson has been tired.

Is tired the new euphemism for shite?

Best player on the park I thought, canter for him today. 
 

Should be him and Goldson for the rest of the season

[SeparateEntityMyArse 53,763]

Retains his jersey based on that performance.

Cantwell was MOTM, but the defence looked so much more settled and solid with him in there.

Dessers is the obvious choice with two goals and I wouldn't be upset if anyone chose him, but Cantwell was the standout for me.

Starts every game from now on for me. Defence looked much better and his pace makes the difference at the back.

That says a lot about Goldson's mentality if he's feeling leggy on a title run in with a potential treble on the cards.

I get the guys have played a lot of games, but they should have been buzzing

Not as tired as us watching him.

Might drop Souttar for Goldson if he’s not tired.

Tbf he may have said "tight" and not "tired". Goldsons fatigue has been mental fatigue more than leggy. He's been switching off and collapsing. Deserved to be dropped.

100% deserved to be dropped. Never been a huge fan of him due to his switching off way too often for my liking

Was good today but how many games can he play?

Only needs to do 6 more…

Aye - often defends what he wants to defend, as opposed to the situation that’s actually happening.

Why does it? Players get tired, it’s not like he’s asked to be dropped. 

[superallysbears 7,624]

Certainty should be playing the rest of the games, John was terrible for 15mins but I'd keep both playing going forward.

He had 2 weeks off then played one game a week since. 

If players are getting tired with that schedule then there's issues.

Goldson ain't tired, his confidence and form nosedived.

[BookWorm 4,151]

Have believed for ages he is our best defender. 

[ayro 3,014]

Played well today, potential MOTM.

Keep him in for away to St Mirren and play Goldson as LCB, Souttar is a “played well apart from their goal” type of player, too many mistakes.

[Stunels 1,248]

Wonder why Goldson was dropped - rumour mill saying he had a bust up with the manager.  If thats the case then maybe Balogun is first pick for the rest of the season.  Think Balogun had a good game today.

Gaffer said “tiredness” - was supposed to be dropped at Dundee but Balogun was unwell so he didn’t

Yeah I’m not arguing the latter, I just don’t buy the shows his mentality like he’s asked to be dropped. Players go out of form.

[kanjo 26,330]

His mistake against them in December cost Balogun his spot. He was my first choice before and after that game too. 
 

Goldson should have been dropped after Motherwell. 

[Goofy The Scot 586]

No coincidence our defence started looking ropey when Balogun got injured, we looked far more solid with him in there. He's quick and aggressive, Goldson's a carthorse in comparison. Just a shame we don't have anyone really solid to partner him as Souttar's a bombscare at times, Goldson's fuckin' gash and Davies is Davies. In fairness Davies probably deserves a chance to partner Balogun more than the other two...... as much as that pains me to say.
