2024/25 Mason Holgate

[samcdavies94]

Think it shows just how reluctant he is to use him.

Which is good going into next week because I'd be doing whatever it takes to not start him vs Spurs. Hopefully Garner/Coleman will be ready or we at least move to 3 CBs and wing backs.

DCL as a right wing back for old times sake

He's probably not arsed.
His loans haven't come to anything.
He knows he's a back up so does just enough at training and nods when Dyche gives him encouragement.

He absolutely doesn't give a hoot about Everton. From the horses mouth.

When championship sides dont take up the option to buy him you know he's on either to much money or crap. We have both here i think.
Soul destroying yesterday seeing holgate and keane still on the pitch for Everton.
Only Everton could be that backward.

Should be nowhere near the team as Keane unless there is a crisis situation. We need to be looking to the future (Patterson, Dixon, etc.) and not guys who we are letting contracts run down. Dom being the exception and even then I’m on the fence about that.

 

[Smurph]

The crazy thing is there is no reason for Dyche to get to Holgate. We bought right footed defender we played well pre season and scored twice. Such a bizarre decision. At least the crowd made that crystal clear.

That will teach him to run his contract down

Southampton fans were saying he's one of the worst players they've ever seen. I think that's why they never bought him, they cancelled a loan paying 10% or so of his wages he was that poor.

My most controversial opinion from yesterday is that he should have come on sooner. The 20 minutes after the red card where each of McNeil, Harrison and, even for a brief spell, N'Diaye filled in at right back was absolutely farcical.

Obviously, in an ideal world, we shouldn't be resorting to giving this lad any minutes in 2024, but that entire sequence which culminated in him finally bringing a defender on to fill in for Young was amateur-hour. Surely the reason Holgate was on the bench was to step in at right back in an emergency?

Agree. That sequence of events was strange. Holgate was ready to come on the 69th 2mjns after the sending off , but didn’t end up coming on till much later . Weird

 

[Curtis]

When he came on it was like another red card was issued and we had 9 men on or 8 if you factor Keane

 

[MACCA75]

Look forward to a ludicrously bad performance by him v Spurs. I predict a red card.

I reckon he’ll get subbed off after 35 minutes when 4-0 down.

 

[Tommy Chong]

I reckon he’ll get subbed off after 35 minutes when 4-0 down.

But not until he gives us one of his world class performances:

 

[If You Know Your History]

Those "supporters" who booed him when he came on the other day made us look like kopites.
