This isn’t a “I told you so” but I was one of few that was happy to have Balogun signed as a back up defender, with a lot of posters on here saying we were going backwards signing him. He could be pivotal between now and the end of the season. I’d give him another year, that guy would play for us for free!
Also a special mention to diamonde, shows some really class touches and loads of energy, seen him giving it tight to Tav when he was screaming for the ball and Tav chose another option, he has something about him that lad.

yip, and yip again mate.

Done well yesterday and certainly more assured than Goldson but he’s mid 30s and for next season would be a decent back up, hopefully we are targeting some fresh blood at centre half area.
3.) 22 Apr 2024 19:31:49
Aye I was one and still think we need better. ?But played well on Saturday.
4.) 22 Apr 2024 20:06:18
Said at the time balogun was a no brainer always puts a shift in and can play across the back line happy to be a squad player and never let us down. Another year would be handy as back up for new defensive pairing.
5.) 22 Apr 2024 20:27:52
I was the same AlloaGer i didn't want big balogun away in the first place mate and posted that on here ?.
6.) 22 Apr 2024 20:34:54
Balugon being our best CB is a sad indictment of our recent recruitment. It was the right decision to move him on and we should have signed better players to replace him. The fact we are still relying on him at his age shows just how bad Ross Wilson was at his job.
7.) 22 Apr 2024 20:40:48
Agree we need better for a starting position but a very capable back up for injuries and the odd game against lower league teams and giving others a rest.
8.) 22 Apr 2024 20:44:53
I was glad to see the big man back. Quite a few weren't.
9.) 22 Apr 2024 20:54:00
We still need better than him Goldson and souttar IMO if we want to be better.
10.) 22 Apr 2024 21:48:37
Balogun is an out and out centre half, Goldson is not. Balogun throws himself into tackles and challenges high balls, Goldson does not and never has done, he thinks he is a 'ball player ', but apart from the occasional long crossfield ball (less and less these days) he is no ball player. Goldson is also more likely to meet a cross with his shoulder or arm, with his eyes closed!, whereas Balogun will at least throw his head in to the mix.
This is nothing new from me, Goldson is a converted centre forward who thinks he is better than he is. Rant over (for now)
11.) 22 apr 2024 22:08:27
you are so right about goldson meeting every high ball with a shoulder or arm bar, that's why i stopped backing him to score a long time ago.
12.) 22 Apr 2024 22:50:17
I did not want him and hope he moves on at end of season.
We need young hungry players to win a league.
Guys who can play 80% of games.
13.) 22 Apr 2024 23:41:45
Never been a fan of Goldson and one of main reasons we get caught out is him lack of recovery pace, big difference when you see Balagon as he does have the recovery needed. I'd 100% be looking to offload Goldson at end of season.
14.) 23 Apr 2024 07:06:44
Just wish Balogun was 10 years younger and like John agree we must get hungry youth into that position. However on his day and injury free he is no doubt the best CH we have at our club - however this is sad an indictment of our transfer dealings in this area of the park which hopefully PC will remedy come summer months. Goldson due to age and pace is getting more of a bombscare in that role imo.
15.) 23 Apr 2024 09:16:08
Imo, he's earned a new one year contract.
16.) 23 Apr 2024 11:35:05
Leon is too old plain and simple, we need to take the sentiment out of our decision making. Goldson has lost the little pace he once had so definitely needs replacing with a younger faster centre back.
17.) 23 Apr 2024 12:32:47
I think the key to Balogun (and a serious criteria for our next CB), is his pace. He made errors, as does Goldson and Souttar. However his turn of pace has meant he often got back on Sunday and was able to recover both his position and more often than not the ball.
Souttar still wants to play like Beckenbauer and Goldson has simply lost a step, whilst I think Balogun knows his limitations and plays to them.
18.) 24 Apr 2024 05:31:29
PC likes him a lot, talking about his attitude to helping with the younger ones in the background, can see him being here, signed at least another year, and helping in a coaching capacity.
21 Apr 2024 17:00:34
Well done big Dessers, Cantwell was also excellent and probably man of the match (outwith Dessers but purely for his 2 goals) . Builds a bit of confidence again lads.
14 Apr 2024 13:58:17
Exactly what we deserved there. We look a bang average side, we’ve blown a lead and I await the “it’s still in our own hands” comments. That performance was terrible and our defence is a joke. Going to need a huge turnaround in performance over the last 6 games.
1.) 14 Apr 2024 14:28:26
If u don't have a big enough heart you won't win much and unfortunately the same core of players let us down and need moved on. This goes back to Gerrard days and not changing things after 55.
2.) 14 apr 2024 14:29:48
its no longer in our hands, i'm listening yet again to the manager saying “ i warned them i wanted to see more “, seems to be every game now, i hope he sees the players who must be cut free.
3.) 14 Apr 2024 14:33:55
Totally agree AlloaGer, we have been poor the last two games and our defence is shambolic at best. Big Phil will see who has the bottle over these next 6 games but, I'd be very surprised if that's not the title race done now. I can't see this squad of players winning all 6 remaining games.
07 Apr 2024 15:01:01
Wouldn’t normally be happy with a draw against them after that first half I’m delighted with a draw. Not sure we got the starting line up correctly however we were really poor in first half. Second half much better but that’s a warning that we need to be quick out the traps in the remaining games.
17 Mar 2024 20:38:50
On the Man Utd v Liverpool game the commentator had to change his wording when he said man of the match, he then quickly changed it to player of the match. What on earth is this world coming to.
1.) 17 Mar 2024 21:36:10
Was there any women playing in the match? No so it’s man of the match. The women’s football can call it what they like.
2.) 17 Mar 2024 21:37:33
Heard it, and it was the biggest load of woke BS. Rid neck!
3.) 17 Mar 2024 21:38:10
They've been doing it for most if not all of this season, the whole world has gone PC mad.
4.) 17 Mar 2024 21:46:41
Snowflake society.
5.) 17 Mar 2024 21:58:18
In the women's game they shout 'man on'. So what's the problem with man of the match in the mens game. Just the woke being idiots.
6.) 17 Mar 2024 22:15:26
Where i come from in croatia even the womens game we call it man of the match.
Lol, yes what a load of nonsense. Worlds buggered.
7.) 17 Mar 2024 22:19:49
Absolutely ridiculous tbh. What is wrong with man of the match?
8.) 17 Mar 2024 22:44:43
JFM tbf I’ve went PC mad also…. Phil Clement mad ?.
9.) 17 Mar 2024 22:52:29
Have to be very careful nowadays. Whatever you say is bound to offend someone. I just say what I think very quietly whilst sitting on a bench in the middle of nowhere. Keep safe guys. Mums the word. Oops might be persons the word.

TT do you think if we had the best right back in Europe as our captain we’d have won anymore titles? The reason we’ve won so little isn’t down to Tav being our captain. And how many other captains in your lifetime have seen the club thrown down to the lower leagues for the irresponsible handling of our club? To blame the lack of trophies on Tav is just a witch hunt and not a credible arguement.
22 Apr 2024 20:40:48
Agree we need better for a starting position but a very capable back up for injuries and the odd game against lower league teams and giving others a rest.
22 Apr 2024 18:36:18
I agree, I like big Dessers and I keep willing him to do well. I liked Kent and got skated a few times because of his stats that weren’t great. Well if it’s about stats I wouldn’t say Dessers has been a disaster. I’d keep him at the club but as back up to a new number 9. He offers something different and can’t fault his effort.
17 Apr 2024 22:02:59
What a horrible time to lose your identity. Another poor display.
14 Apr 2024 17:29:02
Davie I was waiting on the “it’s still in our own hands” comment. Point being we should be well ahead of Celtic by now, not relying on us winning our last 6 games including a trip to parkhead. It’s went from us having to drop points to let Celtic back in it, to us now hoping Celtic drop points. Today was not good enough against a team at the bottom of the league, end of story. And if we can’t go and win that game, how are we meant to be positive about the remaining 6 games?
