2017/18 Mason Holgate

[hktoffee]

Suffering badly due to crap management. Been the victim of favouritism by two clueless managers in a row, while there are better options in his position.

I'm surprised Garbutt doesn't even get half a chance and that Galloway has been loaned out. This lad should never have played more than 5 games this season, instead he's constantly in the first XI as if he was playing like he deserved to be there. Well, clearly, he doesn't.

Galloway - He can't get a game at West Brom last season. Average in a Championship side right now.

Garbutt - A squad player at Fulham or Wigan.

How can these two are the solution? No chance.

Stones at RB was a disaster, as was Jags when he first signed and played there. He should be at CB with Keane.

When we're resorting to playing Cuco Martina at left back, I'd say Garbutt is definitely worth a chance tbh.

..I don’t see him as a CB, he’s actually quite poor in the air. The tackle he made in midweek was a tackle he’d have made at CB. I like the boy, he’s a decent squad player. It surprises me when folk say he’s a CB.

I would blame the one who decided against signing a lb when Koeman publicly stated he wanted one.

No way he is good enough to be a CB in a flat 4, for now definiately.

...that view surprises me too. Koeman had money to spend and it was up to him how he spent it. If he wanted a LB he could have bought one.

We never know but there is a DOF who is supposed to be monitoring Koeman for signing players.

Koeman never stated he wanted a left back, he said he wanted a "left sided centre back that can cover left back". We ended up scratching around for Thomas Vermaelen on deadline day as a result.

Galloway isn't even that tbh, long been dropped after being awful.

..between the two of them they had a bundle of money to spend. I don’t know the arrangement but I assume Koeman has the key role in deciding what is spent on who. The fact that a forward wasn’t purchased, the fact that a LB wasn’t purchased, the fact that another CB wasn’t purchased surely has to be down to RK and SW.

I know everyone says how it's unfair putting pressure on DCL, but can we mention this lad.

He's badly average, attacking and defending.

But he's better than Martina, so he has to start.

 

[sageyefc]

Should be a starting CB from now on, miles better than the other donkeys

 

[maccavennie]

Delighted for him, didn't lose a header all night.

Did a job tonight were Keane has struggled badly recently. Well in Mase.
