2024/25 Mason Holgate

Or… maybe it’s because he’s playing in the Championship?
The last time Holgate was with us he would have been lucky to play for an SPL team, the top teams in the Championship actually try and play proper football, maybe he has just found his level but looked petrified of the pitch the last time he pulled on a blue shirt I know that, just didn't know what he was doing.

…watched Hearts/Hibs yesterday and actually thought he might be ok there.
 
Maybe its just that Corberan is a good coach with a good team behind him and they have finally managed to get a tune out of him. There was always something in there tbf.
He not chosen him to play and he only came on Saturday because two defenders went off injured. He more or less said in an interview last week that Holgate was someone else's choice at the club. Maybe he got no choice but to play him now.
 


Our defence has been sound all season but picked up 3 injuries last week so he getting his full debut.
It's his first match tonight and I really hope he plays well, Sue.

At the end of last season, when we loaned him to Sheffield United, hoping we could con them into taking him completely off our hands, they couldn't wait to get shut of him that they literally had an Uber waiting outside their stadium on the last day of the season to send him back to us. 🙄

….big difference now is he’s playing for his football future, no circa £70k per week, no circa £300k pcm. We know he can probably afford to retire but it’ll matter that he wants a deal somewhere.

He’ll be available on a ‘free’, he’ll have his demands but they’ll clearly be considerably lower. I’ve never rated him but I will say that when it matters he usually earns himself a deal, it happened when he last came back from the Baggies and we failed to secure a CB on the last day of the window. He grasped that opportunity and has earned himself a fortune.

When we first signed him, and for the briefest amount of time, he looked a player with some potential. But he flattered to deceive, unfortunately. 🙄

Based on what you're saying, Eggs, it sounds like he might have missed his true calling. Maybe he should just drop the whole footballing malarkey, and go study a law or financial degree. 🤷‍♂️
