Leon Balogun

[scottishcampbell]

Take a bow big man, he was immense today and didn't give Shankland a sniff

Deserves to stay in the team going forward

 

[Clubdeckg]

Currently our best centre half

 

[Unicorn]

He was watertight.

 

[RFCStu]

If only he had been brought into the team a couple of weeks ago.

 

[kensington blue nose]

RTV MOTM.

 

[douzpwa]

Always solid, outstanding defender!

 

[Barnster Bear]

Great performance

 

[venturablue]

Well done Clement for being big enough to make the decision to play him today.

 

[Grin&bearit]

MOTM total boss

 

[BigBadJohn]

He's probably our best center half. Which is ridiculous. Souttar was brutal today his head went.

 

[cooprfc]

We were solid when he played and then lost our way when he came out for a few weeks.

He's our best pure defender.

It's him and AN Other for the rest of the season for me.

 

[TonyAtTheBing]

Him and Souttar for the remaining games please god.

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Great performance - and a great call from the Gaffer.

 

[albop]

his shirt to lose


he should have been playing weeks ago imo

 

[The People]

Give him another year
He is great to have as cover

 

[thebluebaron]

Currently our best centre half

No argument on this, he deserves to keep his place now.

 

[Ballymena]

Clean sheet. What more needs said

 

[Pentasa]

Should have been back in the team weeks ago replacing either Souttar or Goldson

 

[HandsomeHead]

Very solid and composed. I also think it allowed Tav to play his game more.

Souttar still looking suspect though.

Two new centre backs needed in the summer.

Thankfully now that Clement has, ahem, ‘rested’ Goldson, it gives me hope he sees the problem and will address that.

 

[govan86]

MOTM for me

 

[JD1872]

The panic in our defence stopped as soon as we dropped Goldson which is telling. Balogun was very good.

 

[CooperBlu11]

Never want to see Goldson in the starting line up again. Balogun is first choice

 

[Border City Bear]

Big man was immense though Souttar gave me the fear more than once today, actually thought Butland looked more at ease as well with no Goldson in front of him

 

[Pvt. Hudson]

Big man was excellent today.

 

[Jelle1880]

He was outstanding today. Hope he stays fit so he can play every game from now on.

 

[SouthsideTrueBlue]

Still maintain godson and balogun is our best pairing. Souttar is making a big mistake every single game

 

[Gameboy]

For me it’s him and Goldson at CB.

I said in the match thread I reckon he can do a David Weir and play into his 40’s.

 

[Jon Snow]

Excellent from the big man and a clean sheet as soon as Goldson is dropped is no coincidence.

The sooner there’s a wide acceptance that Goldson isn’t prime Maldini the better.

 

[scottishcampbell]

Still maintain godson and balogun is our best pairing. Souttar is making a big mistake every single game

Probably what will happen

 

[Mr_Miscellaneous]

Two main things about him.

• Passed the ball forwards
• Capable of defending simple balls over the top.

After two minutes of lumping it forwards, Hearts realised it wouldn't work against Balogun and they didn't even trouble us until the 90th minute.

 

[CooperStoleMyPen]

Hindsight obviously but wish he was playing against the mhanks last time round

 

[Live Forever]

Big man was solid today.

 

[cooprfc]

We were pretty solid with Goldson and Balogun.

I'm not a fan of Souttar and thought he was terrible today again.

I'd be tempted to go with Goldson and Balogun again.

But as long as it's Balogun and one of them we will be in a better place.

 

[Themaruso]

Him and Souttar for the remaining games please god.

Soutter? Never

 

[JediKnight]

Yup so much better with him in the side.Souttar was mince today.

 

[temperance]

his shirt to lose


he should have been playing weeks ago imo

He was supposed to play against Dundee, but was ill.

 

[Discodale]

Excellent performance, especially for someone just back in to the team after a long period of not getting much game time.

 

[Div1872]

Balogun was rock solid today

If he keeps this form up Goldson will struggle to get into the team

 

[Blue seventy two]

RTV MOTM.

MOTM? You bigot, its POTM dont you know?

 

[Blutoe]

He attacks the ball. He anticipates the play. He’s quick.
Everything that Goldson isn’t

 

[McQueen]

He reads the game so well. Thought he was excellent today.

 

[si72]

If Leon stays healthy then Goldson stays on the bench for me

 

[Wee Buster]

He had a good game and holds the jersey in my opinion

 

[DerHammer88]

He's probably our best center half. Which is ridiculous. Souttar was brutal today his head went.

I actually thought Souttar defended well but it was on the ball he was nervy.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Great player

 

[weeneebs]

It's his position to lose now, was immense today.

 

[Bradbo88]

Agreed.

Goldson can work for it.

Souttar still scares me though.

 

[148bear]

No excuses now,the manager knows what is required leave Goldson out the team for good.

 

[Motorhead66]

Take a bow big man, he was immense today and didn't give Shankland a sniff

Deserves to stay in the team going forward

Yes, faultless today, has to stay in the team, Souter on the other hand had a mare!

 

[Davieblue1977]

Big Leon to start Vs St Mirren
