Goldson

[Blue3]

Agree he was very good but he did loose his man for their goal

 

[ferring seagull]

This guy has massive potential playing so well at this level already, he will be a regular next season

---and perhaps for much of the remainder of this current season ?

 

[The Wizard]

That wasn't his man, it was a midfield runner and should have been picked up by Stephens, who all be it had an injury so probably wasn't his fault.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

My only complaint is that he was not given a chance much earlier.

Not sure if it should be complained about. Like all new players from lower leagues you have to assess them first and if they get their chance they need to grab it by the short and curly's. This boy certainly has and I look forward to a blossoming relationship between him and us fans. Class act.

I thought it was Stephen's man?

Anyway, I'm glad someone started this thread, as if Knockaert hadn't been so outstanding, Goldson would surely have been MOM

We still have this problem of conceding from crosses, happens all to regularly, but I don't think the blame can be pointed at Goldson this particular time.

Also, watching Ridgewell today and his organisation skills, his constant chat to the back four was immense I thought. The little things do get missed sometimes.

Spot on

 

[Invicta]

Great game -hope he's on a decent length contract

 

[tigertim68]

Looks a good player to me , has pace which we have been lacking at the back

 

[LamieRobertson]

Growing in stature with every match ..what a cracking signing ...great business by the club too.

I was talking to a supplier at work last week who's a Shrewsbury fan; he was amazed that Goldson hadn't been first choice for us as soon as he signed, he rated him that highly.

No, the back four were marking but the midfield (Stephens) did not track the run of the scorer who came in late.

 

[BrianWade4]

I think he's fantastic

Bench Greer

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Cool/old head on young shoulders. This player's going to be MASSIVE for us.

I was thinking exactly the same while watching him today. A very mature player.

 

[BrianWade4]

Kayal also good today

Yes, complaint was the wrong word to use.
Let's say I was surprised he did not get a chance earlier.
At Shrewsbury he just had something about him that made you think he could easily play at a much higher level and was very consistent.

Certainly agree about Ridgewell. A class (ish) act.

Don't know if many people saw this but Jamie Cureton who has played hundreds of league games at a good level rates him in his TOP 3 toughest opponents alongside Stuart Pearce! (scroll down the article to the green box to see what he said about him):

I have only seen him play twice. Once for Shrewsbury early in the season and in the match where he conceded the OG against Wolves. Both games he looked very confident and what I liked most about him was his positional play and the angles he makes for outlet passes when trying to pass the ball out from the back. Undoubtedly he has a good future because younger central defenders players don't usually develop that until they are a bit older.

The point you make about Jamie Cureeton stating that Goldson and Stuart Pearce were his 2 most difficult opponents you have to take into account Cureton could possibly have ben about 38 when he came up against Goldson, so hardly comparable to Stuart Pearce I his hey day but would be a nice thought if he was to turn out that good

Great game today - he did very well and bodes well for the future

I thought Ridgewell was distinctly average.
