[Albion] Connor Goldson

[Peter Ward]

This might be old news but just wanted to say that its great to see Connor playing again for the U23s and on the bench and edging back towards the 1st team line-up.

It is good news but unless Dunk or Duffy get injured, suspended or sold in January he will still keep edging back but great to have as back up should any of the 3 happen.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Will he play at Stevenage tomorrow in the checkatrade cup ?

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Assuming all fully fit, is Goldson on Huniemier 3rd choice?

He's there already isn't he - he's been on the bench for the last three league games.

He'll not progress beyond that until injury or suspension intervenes.

Not getting CG out on loan was the second biggest failure in the last transfer window.
Hopefully that can be rectified as near to 01.01.18, as is allowed.

Hardly, he's the best backup we have for Dunk and Duffy. We are lucky that nothing has prevented them playing so far. If and when it does, we need CG.

The player the club should have bought in, and Uwe, would have been the best backup centre backs.
In order for CG to be the next in line he needed a full championship season to prepare him for next season.

Needs to go out on Loan...getting near a year since he last played...
Uwe is back up...

Why has Goldson replaced Hunemeir as the centre-back on the bench, especially after the German was so impressive when he replaced Duffy against Everton?

This is a question that I've been posing too.

Not sure but I know Uwe has an ongoing injury, groin i believe. So that's probably troubling him i assume?

I'm in total agreement. I thought he was brilliant for the half season he was a regular and, had he not got injured for such a long time, it's likely he would be spoken about in a similar breath as Dunk and Duffy. A year out is a long time though, and he must need regular games to start pushing on again.

Left foot vs right foot?

Duffy was carrying a niggle after he came off vs Everton. Goldson is right footed so the more natural cover.....

In the interests of full disclosure I might not have been as 100% correct as I thought, when saying CG needed to be replaced by an experienced Premier League player, who could help Dunk and Duffy adjust to life in this division.

You seem to be suggesting that Uwe is left-footed. I think that, like our other 3CBs, he's right-footed. Some right-footed players can play the left-sided CB role, eg, Dunk and Uwe (I'm pretty sure that, at some point, both Duffy and Goldson have played there too).

Yes. When Dunk was ‘being driven to Fulham’ and we purchased, I surmised that it was as a direct replacement.....

But as you say he can definitely play on the right as well.
