So because ekong and balogun pairs good in the past then it should continue right ? Lol

For the sake of ekong ke , if ekong do anyhow self i go like make e chop bench small grin

For now its Ajayi and Ekong
Oga, forget what Brighton did to Balogun, on a good day Ajayi isn't better than Balogun, so stop raising Ajayi so high. If Balogun had gone to a championship club from inception instead of Brighton, I am sure he would have been rated better than Ajayi in the Championship. Not that Balogun even did badly or committed blunders in the games he played for Brighton, it was the coach that just didn't fancied him and what makes you think Ajayi would do well or even get game time in the premiership? Don't forget the premiership is a total ball game entirely from the championship. Balogun that was benched in the premiership, went to one of the worst club in the championship and immediately that same club stopped conceding, that should also tell you that if he had started the season with Wigan and with what he showed thus far at Wigan, Wigan wouldn't have been where they are currently in the championship table. So, personally, I will individually pick Balogun over Ajayi and collectively also pick Balogun over him. Make Ajayi start to they face high profile strickers first in the premiership or other top leagues in Europe like Balogun did at Mainz and the few games he played at Brighton, then I will rate Ajayi well

Balogun wont play forever, i know he cant do any mistake in your eyes

Ajayi has been a better play than balogun for the past 2 seasons ok, i dont rely on past glories , i believe on current form and ajayi has been better than balogun if so

Balogun cannot even get a decent championship club rather it was a relegation fighting team

Yes you will pick balogun over ajayi and thats the reason why you are not the coach

Rohr wont do that okay.

Ajayi is a younger player and balogun is older

You are talking of mainz, balogun was just a normal average defender at mainz that hardly plays 25 league games a season due to he is injury prone

I remember me fighting komekn and eathquake here because they said he wont make brighton team

Why cant balogun get a decent championship team with all his bundesliga experience seems you wanna draw that leg nah ? Lol maybe i will rate him after that cheesy cheesy

Plenty talk no dey full basket bros

There is nothing like too similar to be playing together, just say you prefer balogun

Maybe if you are a barca fan you would have prefer carles puyol and marquez to play forever seems they are so good together

But the coach prefers Ajayi, rohr is always going for our best leg

Even omeruo and awaziem is also there
Look at attacking partnerships there is usually a big man and a runner, so it is in defensive partnership, there is usually a tackler and a ball playing defender, the problem with Ajayi and Ekong partnership is that they are both tacklers and want to go after the ball at the same time, none of them them can sit back and dictate play which puts the team under pressure when they are pressed

Now look at Ndidi and Etebo partnership, very good players but it didn't work because they like to do the same thing which makes the midfield one sided. All the great partnerships have a tackler and a ball playing defender like Ferdinand, Vidic Terry/ Carvalho, the Puyol and Marquez partnership is an anomaly but everybody knows Barca has never had a top defense they usually rely on the brilliance of their midfield

Balogun has played 5 undefeated games and kept 4 cleansheets he was the Nigerian form defender before the Coronavirus

Don’t make it seem like he did nothing, and remember he has been tested and trusted under Rohr

But ajayi and ekong partnership is working, maybe most of you guys just like the name oyinbo wall and nothing else

Have ajayi and ekong partnership done any wrong ?

Barca never have top defence because they do dominate, how many defenders where better than carles puyol and marquez during their playing days ? or puyol and a younger pique who made sergio ramos played as a RB during the 2010 world cup, barca have always have top defenders maybe their sweet style of play wont make you look that side

Lol and so what ?

I did not say he has done bad self, so because he kept 5 clean sheet for a relegation fighting wigan means he should bench semi ajayi who has been playing on the top of that league for almost all season ?

Maybe if balogun is playing for west brom and score 5 goals from the defence you will say they should give him the balon d or

You go fear praising for a team thats on 20th on the championship table grin

Football is not all about past glories

Balogun did well in the eagles no doubt and he joined Brighton on a free transfer and was glued to the bench ,but yet some of you want him to always be playing ,suddenly he joined Wigan on loan to get game time then he should start ahead of ajayi ,same person omeruo benched during the afcon grin

Don’t be surprise to see omeruo playing after ajayi and not even the Balogun I hope Wigan signs him permanently unless na another wahala for am

Dude is 31 and injury prone to even rely on him for long is a no no

Oga the team you are playing matters Abeg ,don’t come and use that as an excuse to me

Even the ajayi I am supporting is a championship player ,if super eagles get better players who go Dey look championship let alone the one wey Dey 20th place Wigan

Ajayi Is a sure epl bound if not for this pandemic that stopped football

You guys are just after oyinbo wall rather than football ,I am glad omeruo and Ekong did well in the afcon ,many of you even turned blind eyes to Balogun school boy error ,if to say na omeruo do that thing una no go ever forget grin

As per say Ekong is the Messi of defenders grin

I think omeruo prefers playing with Joseph Yobo then as a young lad but Stephen Keshi prefers using him and Godfrey oboabona

Na coach get final say

If the team you are playing matters that means Ighalo, Victor Moses should be starters for the SE

Besides Balogun is in the same league and has been in better form leading to Afcon qualifiers and you tell me he doesn't deserve to be in the team? Form over everything at Balogun is in hot form now

It was with his experience at Mainz that he got signed by Brighton and he was benched at Brighton not because he was bad or was commiting blunders when called upon, but because the coach just didn't fancied him. If this championship season had continued and with the performance he was showing at Wigan, I am sure he would have been signed by a better and bigger club at the end.

Ekong and Balogun has formed a solid defensive partnership over the years and this is not based on hearsay, and if Balogun is in form maybe Ekong should be allowed to play with somebody he understands better

When those 2 players where still available for the eagles they are both starters so what’s your point sir ?

What better form ?

But semi ajayi is not in a bad form suddenly you want someone who just joined Wigan to take his place ?

Despite me preferring ajayi should I remind you that we have 2 regular starters at leganes ?

Isaac success is not playing for a big club ,bros please Watford is not a big club and was never a big club so what are you saying ?

Iheanacho was dropped because he was not getting game time nor even goals

How does all this things you said correspond to our arguement ?

It even took nacho time to be called back after his constitent form

Oh so it's not about your club but about the game time you're getting, Look at how you are casting yourself grin

You keep calling it 20th placed Wigan which makes it more impressive because keeping a clean sheet with Wigan is harder than keeping a clean sheet with West Brom in the Championship but Balogun has kept 4 in the last 5 matches

What else do you want Balogun to do, make he use head play ball grin
