2020/21 Mason Holgate

[duncs pigeon]

Hes the latest whipping boy Im afraid.

Come on lads, no need to dig the lad out, hes a CB whos doing a job for the team.

People having a pop cos he chews gum is dead, dead weird.

You don't need to hang lads out to dry after every game.

He's doing a job for the team but is struggling it's an area we will strengthen in the summer

Our player of the year last season too

 

[EFCPaul]

Worth keeping, especially if we have Europe next season, but it's very disappointing how much he's dropped off from last season. Even in the games he's played centrally he hasn't looked anywhere close to the same player. Needs a hard look at himself in the mirror otherwise he'll never be a starting player at this level (top 6 or higher).

3 clean sheets before today, I suppose hes struggling with whats required at full back, he was caught out for their first, but if he pushed on, it was down to Iwobi to pick up his man, who was Alonso.

Exactly. Playing out of position for the good of the team.

 

[EGWToffee]

CB playing a RB against team who's winger and wing back hover around your box for 90mins.

Any natural RB would've struggled.

Not been great at CB either tbh. He’s been one of the weakest in the side all season. Not good enough for at the moment.

 

[leslad]

Decent aggressive defender but his distribution lets us down when we have to chase the game

This is the most mental thing about all the stick he's getting. You'd swear some of our fans have amnesia.

People expecting a centre half to start skinning people down the line and whipping in crosses need to reconsider football.

He's doing a job at right back. Nothing exceptional but okay. More solid and athletic than Coleman at least.

His long term future at centre back is sound.

 

[MikeH72]

He’s a bit of a liability at the minute. We are desperate beyond belief for a right back.

 

[Quadvod]

I wonder if we’d be better swapping Godfrey and holgate - feels like holgate’s getting badly exposed at the minute

 

[paulbefc]

Has done a solid job there for us this season, but it's often games like that that will catch you out.

We've done pretty well considering we've basically not had a right back this year.

 

[hallamblue]

Worth keeping as a squad player but shouldn't be near the first team.

 

[banno]

He is getting a fair bit of stick for playing out of postion but it does show he will not be our right back next season as he hasn't got the skill set. Thing is I doubt he will be CB either with Godfrey, Keane and Mina being well ahead of him. Would he be content in being a squad player or will he want to try his luck elsewhere.

 

[Saint Domingo]

CB doing a great job all season out of position has a bad game.
