He could really excel for another team where there isn’t so much pressure and he isn’t expected to play out from the back, almost all of his errors have came either due to being wasteful in possession or struggling to cope with the demands of a high pressure fixture.

Need to have good distribution to play effectively in the style we try to play and I don’t think Boyata, or Lustig & Gordon for that matter are good enough in that department.

I think it’s a risk building our defence around someone like him and would prefer exploring other options in the transfer market.

Our problem is simple. We have developing CB's who need an experienced player to talk them through games. Our transfer policy was slackened to by Commper, but I'm not sure he is a real person.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Mate, I would imagine at least a few lower EPL teams will be interested. If not then plenty of Championship teams.

He has played under pressure plenty of times and done well.

I have a feeling he will leave.

Let's see.
Yep, let’s see. Whatever happens, let’s hope he has a big game at the weekend :thumbsup:
Yep mate & apologies for me one worded response before :thumbsup:

Boyata might currently be our best central defender but for me that’s a clear indication of where we are in that area of the team and it’s hardly inspirational. We need better.
Correct.

If we want to improve and develop as a team the big man simply isn't good enough.

Would rather punt to be honest. Feel like the defence outwith Tierney and Ajer needs to be addressed.

Massive day for him tomorrow.

He can't let Main bully him.

Really needs to turn up.

If he can get close to his performance in the 5-0 hammering of Sevco I'd be happy. I know he was only up against Cummings but he was phenomenal. Never gave him a sniff all game by being quick, assertive and sticking to the basics.

His best performance this season for me was at Home to Hearts in the midweek game. Similar performance but as you said he was against Cummings.

Main is a decent player and uses his body very well, has a good touch and links well. Boyata and Ajer need to dominate him. If we do that, we'll win the game comfortably.

I'm not convinced it will happen. Main concerns me

I don't care how we win, just as long as we do win.

I only realised Main was left footed when he hit that FK in the 80th minute.

Dominant again, could he be an aggressive ball winning CB alongside a good ball playing CB?

He's quietly put together a real decent run of form. He had a bad spell there but since he's got a bit of fitness back and been relieved of having Jozo next to him he's looked very solid and assured. Glad we've got him.

Man of the match for me. Won nearly everything. Dealt with the two strikers with ease.

He’s been imperious the last few games. Comfortably our best centre back.

Thought he had a great game today. No nonsense when he was 1v1 and relieved a lot of the pressure Ajer was under early on.

Totally dominant at the back today, covering for Ajers inexperience. A top defender for me and worth the odd error that all players are prone to.make. Hope he makes the belgian WC team.

When on form he is our best cb by some distance.

I think his form is related to getting a run of games. He needs a good partner also. Ajer has done well. Probably a pity the season has ended.
