Does anyone think that Goldsons position might possibly be under threat? Just due to the form of Balagoun and Helander has done well when he has come in. Or do you think it will always be Goldson and a. n. other.

No i don't Daethebouncy, because both balogun and helander are left footed/ sided centre halfs and the ideal/ perfect balance is with Connor Goldson playing beside one of those 2 left sided centre halfs, it gives our team a much better balance for me anyway! Gerrard into the bargain rates big goldson very highly and will play him first and foremost 👍.

In fairness Goldson looking much better with an experienced player beside him than say Katic or Goldson.

Bouncy I think big Goldson has been great since start of season. The big guy deserves to keep the jersey imo.

John when has Goldson played next to Goldson? I would have thought that was impossible lol.

Goldson has done very well so far so why drop him?

Lol ka meant Edmundson. Can’t even blame predictive test. And I only had one glass of red.

Good point

Edmundson is going to find himself way down the pecking order

Again how is the young guy going to develop when he won’t get a lot of game time?

Goldson is untouchable. He's first name on the team sheet. Although I've been critical in the past I think Goldson has started the season reasonably well. Last night he had a couple of bad mistakes that would or could have been punished by better opposition but overall I can see he is the main communicator in the back four and he organises well. Balogun has been good and Helander is a great reader of the game even if he lacks pace. David Weir looked like he was running in quick sand at times but his lack of pace didn't hold him back. Balogun is right footed even although he plays mainly on the left side of centre defence so it would be interesting to see him on right centre defence with Helander on the left.

SGL you are correct about the balance of the pairing and of course Goldson deserves to keep the jersey anyway as he is playing so well right now. I know he hasn't come here to sit on the bench, but if Balogan's injury keeps him out for a couple of games he might find it hard to get back in if Helander keeps up good form. A great headache for the boss to have, considering there are another two who want a jersey too.
