2018/19 Mason Holgate

[billyblue80]

To be fair he was decent alongside Williams so I suppose he will be ok in a short run alongside one of Kean or Mina.

 

[Carlito]

I think he's decent, but I'm not sure that either Keane or Mina is the ideal partner for him.

Maybe Mina more

 

[Big Fat Sam]

People convincing themselves that he's good enough for a run in the team. This is absolutely shocking by Brands and Everton in the knowledge that Mina was crocked for the entirety of last season. Can see Leicester and Wolves comfortably ahead of us by the time we desperately scramble to sign a centre half in January.

Holgate is a championship player. There was talk of maybe a 8/10mill sale but obviously no one wanted the pay that.
He has proven himself completely out of his depth against top half teams.
You can see very quickly he lacks the smarts for top level football.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Completely fine as backup to Mina and Keane this season.

Don’t stress, There’s others who can fill in Coleman (sure he has before, new French lad, Gbamin, holgate could all cover.

Leicester don't have great options at centre back beyond Evans

 

[carolinablue232]

Wonder if the thought is Gbamin is third choice and Holgate 4th, given we still have Morgan to play the DM role if Gbamin has to move back.

 

[kithnou]

He has his chance. Make or break for him now.
Up to the player.

Do you really believe resorting to such measures in such a critical position is the way to go into a season?

 

[TennesseeBlue]

I'm always nervous with him in the game, he switches off far too often.

He will see significant gametime this year so hopefully a run of games will help

 

[Hawhaw]

Not good enough

 

[PhilRegan]

I hope I never see Seamus Coleman playing at CB in my lifetime.

 

[royvernon39]

Just not a central defender. Too weak in the air. Not hard enough.

Maybe a full-back because he is quick and could improve.

We all have to hope that Mina and Keane make it to Xmas without injury.
