I make it 148 minutes of football with ten men, and only one goal conceded.The difference with these two at cb is night and day. Both strong in the air and technically good.
That's two leagues we've had 10 men for the majority of the match and only conceded one goal.

I just wish we'd win a higher percentage of first balls at set pieces. A minor quibble I know, but apart from that I'm very happy with the centre halves.

I was absolutely scunnered at letting Bates go but it does indeed make sense now.Two very tidy players. Goldson edges it just now and they'll both get better, but I think Katic could overtake him at some point considering he's only 21.
Very hard to find two accomplished and confident defenders that work together well, even harder to find them at 21 and 25 years old. Terrific work done by Allen and the scouts, it makes the decision to let Bates go more understandable now.
Listen I liked Bates, and as a raw lad, I could see the potential.I was absolutely scunnered at letting Bates go but it does indeed make sense now.
It is a real shame that we never got Cooper.They have been first class.
But we absolutely need back up for them for suspensions and injuries.
Without a doubt. I just felt Bates was the best CB at the club at the time, with plenty room for improvement & to be getting rid was really a risky move.Listen I liked Bates, and as a raw lad, I could see the potential.
But perhaps watching us for the last few years had made me forget what a really good centre back looks like.
The two lads we have now are just fckn tremendous.
Put it this way.
If they were both Scottish, there is your international centre of defence right there.
For me Goldson is the real captain of the team. I would love to know what he said to Morelos after Alfie’s goal. Quality player.The difference with these two at cb is night and day. Both strong in the air and technically good.

And how many times has McGregor had to make a save? 2 or 3 at most I reckon, confidence in the defence is sky high just now.The difference with these two at cb is night and day. Both strong in the air and technically good.

No offence but silence would be an improvement. You've rhymed ball with ball, then used the word ball one more time for effect.We have two centre backs
Goldson and katic
I just don't think you'll win the ball
They tackle and get the ball
Head the ball and score goals
We ve goldson and katic
Any improvements welcome
they will take time to gell mate but im sure they will get thereI just wish we'd win a higher percentage of first balls at set pieces. A minor quibble I know, but apart from that I'm very happy with the centre halves.
That's why I said it lmaoNo offence but silence would be an improvement. You've rhymed ball with ball, then used the word ball one more time for effect.
He was 3.5m mate, but your point is still valid, he's a monsterHow in the name of %^*& did we get Goldson for £2m?
If they keep playing like this there could be unwanted bids in January never mind the summer.
I actually think we have “stolen” Goldson he is an absolute rolls Royce of a player.
Katic and Barasic for 1.5m each is ridiculously good value as well.
We look so solid at the back now it’s a joy.
In a nutshell.something else with katic, he isn't scared to put it in row z if needed.They both compliment each other superb.
Katic is good at drawing stupid fouls from strikers and Goldson can play a cross field ball superb.
