Goldson

[GT49er]

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.

Missed by many, it would seem, going by the general comments about him on various threads on NSC.

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

Indeed. Stephens was injured & didnt/couldn't track back.

Goldson is the future, if he's going to fulfill his potential he has to play .

Greer should now be back up

 

[LlcoolJ]

so hardly comparable to Stuart Pearce I his hey day but would be a nice thought if he was to turn out that good

Does this mean that he can play left back like Stuart Pearce did as if so perhaps we should sign him although he's not that experienced and I've heard Jlloyd Samuel is also available. Has anyone seen my glasses Ashley Cole.

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

He was asked (presumably) to pick out three from his twenty two years that stood out above the rest. So, he probably knows what he's talking about. Just appreciate it, don't pick holes. Hopefully (and according to most on here it is looking hopeful) we have landed a good 'un.

Listen - You have been told before. Bens Grandad is in charge of left back recruitment

SSSSsshhhhh......do you really want to see Chicksen turning out against Brentford?

 

[NooBHA]

I actually just read BGs ratings in the Huddersfield match and on Murphy it states something like, ''needs the support of a left back'' And whilst I actually agree with that comment on Murphy. The left back position has become something of an obsession for BG bless him

 

[Surf's Up]

I thought Ridgewell was distinctly average.

I agree although from the top of the West it was difficult to see his organisational skills. As for Connaught Goldstone,he's a real serious prospect but I can see Hewton bringing Greer back when fit, its just the conservative way he does things (Hewton that is). Hic.

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.

Agree with this, but there was also one point in the first when Hudds had a corner that he was utterly lost - before the ball came in he had no idea who he was supposed to be marking.....went on for quite a while.

I must have missed that but if every player was a perfect 10 every game we'd be Barcelona.

We'd be what Barcelona would like to be. It's all about whether you get punished for the errors or not. Dunk played very well yesterday and that's what most people remember (rightly) but he had one mess up in the corner where he gifted the ball to their forward who kindly lost control and kicked it out for a goal kick, he kicks it in the goal and everyone remembers the error. The trick is to not have costly mistakes, because you will certainly have some mistakes every game - how to do that? A bit harder to answer!

It'll always happen, we aren't robots, I make mistakes at work although I never admit to them

 

[Withdean11]

A perfect example for when some say "we couldn't replace Dunk for less money"

Laughable.

But we didn't pay for Dunk so Goldson was expensive?

I meant the £5m that that some say they would not sell because we could not find a replacement.

Goldson/Uwe combined are cheaper.

Hmmm the logic doesn't add up.
