[Football] Conor Goldson take a bow
- Thread starter Tony Towner's Fridge
- Start date
I think everyone knew he was a good player. But Dunk and Duffy were undroppable in the Hughton days.
I would say Conor could still be a good player in the Premier League if given a chance.

Really pleased for Connor, when you think what might have been had his underlying medical condition gone undetected.

Bad management. Duffy effectively shipped out by the Albion as he can't play an expansive role in a back 3. Neil Lennon signs him and switches Celtic's system to a back 3.

Back 3 in SPL, against back 3 in EPL, wonder if the ability of the opposition is the same?

You were correct the first time, it's the wrong spelling in the thread title that's sucking people in.

Nah, it was the right thing to do. He was hardly going to play.
He’d been out for over a year and needed to play. Dunk & Duffy were solid in the championship so we had no reason to drop either for Goldson
Whilst this is true, I still beileve it was a mistake to let him go. Difficult thing is . . . Would he be as good Now as say Webster ? SPL is championship level at best. . .
If he had stayed his career would have nose dived. You can’t not play for 2 years and expect to go back into a decent level.
The club did the right thing for him

I always thought that Colin Goldstone was one for the future

FFS he scores a couple in the noddy league and all of a sudden we’ve just let the next Maldini go 
did you see him against Chelsea looked like a rabbit caught in head lights.

He was actually only out for half a season and was in our PL squad every week for the first PL season. You’re right that he wasn’t playing much though; I think he made no more than 2-3 starts in league games that year.
It was definitely the right decision for all parties to sell. Glad he’s doing well, but the SPL standard is mid-lower Championship, so no basis to suggest it was a mistake.
Championship is of a much higher quality than the SPL. Rangers and Celtic only 2 teams that I would consider championship level. Says a lot that 2 centre backs who we deemed not good enough are probably the two best players in the league.

Great movement in the box for the second goal
