He reminded me of bougherra so he did in the way he played.very comfortable on the ball with a good turn of pace.Is it too early to liken him to a mix of Amoruso and Bougherra?
Probably but I’m doing it anyway
One game in, you could easily agree here.Really like the look of Balogun so far.
If he’s naturally left footed, we might have our first choice CB pairing on today.
I’m not massively convinced by Helander. I know people who really rate him, but I always preferred Katić.
My motm as well.thouht he was outstanding didn’t lose a header all game.he strolled itProbably shades MotM for me.
I’d agree but I’d look kinda stupid as well.If Balogun keeps playing like that it would Balogun and Helander for me.
Not at all.Is it too early to liken him to a mix of Amoruso and Bougherra?

Seriously?
What did Goldson do wrong today?
Think he will be back up to Goldson and Helander when everyone is ready to go
No.Helander is the best defender at the club.
I don’t know how much better Goldson can get.He is outstanding already.He looks battle hardened and streetwise. I think he could be the leader at the back instead of Goldman, which will improve Goldson...
I get where you are coming from but he is just back from Injury and needs games under his belt to get back to his best few bounce games and he'll be ready imoI hope not. Helander is good for certain games but his lack of pace is an issue. As soon as he came on against Motherwell he got done and we were lucky not to concede.
He isn’t left sided that much was clear but he is considered and patient on the ball . I’d like to see more of his passing and in pressure games but decent start .Really like the look of Balogun so far.

What interests me is he partnered a very physical CD at Wigan , Cedric Kipre , and I’m guessing he played on lhs and dealt with anything that went behind / beyond him allowing Kipre to be attacking the ball .Looks good so far.Balogun was at the heart of the Wigan defence when they had a good run at the end of the Championship
If Balogun keeps playing like that it would Balogun and Helander for me.
I like Goldson but I'd like him to be a bit more physical. He doesnt always compete well when clearing headers, a few times last season when Naismith had the better of him for example. He's a big guy so would like him to be a bit more dominant and not let guys back into him or let the ball bounceI don’t know how much better Goldson can get.He is outstanding already.
Haven’t seen that being said but it’s something that is an open question still imo .Where's all the folk who were telling us Balogun was crap in the air? No Cosgrove for the Sheep today but, regardless, Leon looked competent enough in that department to me. And miles better than anyone else we have at Ibrox for bringing the ball out of defence. That could be a very handy attribute for us this season.
An excellent performance from Goldson today as well.
Haven’t seen that being said but it’s something that is an open question still imo .
And hes probably the fittest and sharpest of all our CBs at the moment - up to others to shift him I thinkAgree; looks experienced and composed and has good pace which is a big plus.
Naisy has excellent bounce,timing and determination for a smaller guy,just like wee Barry had.Always won his fair share of headers against bigger opponents.I like Goldson but I'd like him to be a bit more physical.

I still remember the last time I got excited about a player sprinting up the park
