Doesn't inspire confidence.
Looks out of his depth at times.

I wasn’t trying to be overly critical just how I seen his performance tonight. Certainly not writing the kid off, like I said some of the things he done tonight where excellent.The lads still young and learning. If you’re criticising sloppy passes then Goldson beat him in that department.
I think the manager is of the same opinion as me - maybe you were one of the ejits wanting him sacked last week?If you’d rather have Sands than Balogun at centre back, may I recommend Soecsavers.
Twice in a game - f'n clueless!He makes too many mistakes to be a centre back and gives the ball away far too often.
There is no way we should be playing vital CL qualifiers with James Sands at centre back.
Yeah.If you’d rather have Sands than Balogun at centre back, may I recommend Soecsavers.
He is done as a footballer otherwise someone would have picked him up, there is a reason he was sitting in the stand.We shouldn’t be experimenting with midfielders in defence in big games.
He had several potentially very costly passes.
Leon Balogun was sitting about 5 rows in front of me in the main stand tonight.
He should have been playing alongside Goldson, not Sands.
I disagree and it would seem he splits opinion going by the posts on here and chats I have had at games etc.He has what looks like a permanent rabbit in the headlights look coming from his eyeballs.
He should be nowhere near starting in a Rangers back 4, and if he is to continue as part of the squad then I can make my peace with him coming on in big games late on somewhere in the middle as a spoiler. We have seen him do it effectively before.
He is a fukin bombscare and that is being kind.
He came onto a game. Some of his passing was sloppy but then again some of the passing from his teammates was equally as bad. The fact he could have been red carded (wrongly) because of a diabolical pass from his goalkeeper, sums that side of our game up at times tonight.I thought he had a cracking game tonight, but in a few group chats half saying he was great and the other half saying he was poor, so thought I'd ask for opinions on here, no doubt it'll be 50/50 going by what folk have been saying already.
That's my view aswell.His poor passes were bookended by poor passes from others. Seem some want any excuse to dislike him.
Sands was part of the team which helped us overcome a 2-0 deficit in Europe for the first time I think. Better defenders than him have failed to do that. I thought he had a decent game, we have to remember that he's still fairly young, especially for a CB.
Against better teams they would have cost us.The group chats probably sum it up. He was excellent in a lot of what he done but gave away at least 3 sloppy passes which could have cost us.
He had more than two dodgy passes that landed us in trouble. He also dived into tackles which very easily could have landed him in trouble. We cannot be experimenting in games likes this. Far too important.I think the manager is of the same opinion as me - maybe you were one of the ejits wanting him sacked last week?
Twice in a game - f'n clueless!
OK I'll break it down sweetie..Can you try that again but this time put a sense filter on it first, cheers
Is this the bad pass that has made your mind up on him?His pass in the first half was absolute nonsense
If we dont win hes the escaped goat. But because we won hes given a pass. He didnt hide after making multiple errors. He stood up. I like that.

Your not sold on him at all (your words). Why's that?
Nah I’m not, I think he’s miles off itIs this the bad pass that has made your mind up on him?
Goldson did it more and didn't actually make any goal saving tackles...Nah not for me, you can't be passing it to the opposition repeatedly and claim to have had a great game.
On another night he costs us the tie.
In all of that rant all you've actually said is he gives the ball up easily..Nah I’m not, I think he’s miles off it
The team we knocked out, in reality, weren’t a great side and yet he looked a mile out his depth in the first leg, and was giving up the ball in key areas tonight
That coupled with his general performance level last season means I’m seeing little to invest in
I watch us though, I don’t just tediously come on here to get angry at people who say sh*t I don’t like…
Tonight we kept a clean sheet. This time last year Balogun cost us against Malmo at Ibrox. I say that as a fan of his.We shouldn’t be experimenting with midfielders in defence in big games.

I thought he was a total bombscare, really dreadful performance
I mean it’s a really important part of football to actually keep the ball..In all of that rant all you've actually said is he gives the ball up easily..
Absolutely no substance whatsoever lol.
Listened in the radio and I have to say it seemed like his name was mostly mentioned in a negative way.I thought he had a cracking game tonight, but in a few group chats half saying he was great and the other half saying he was poor, so thought I'd ask for opinions on here, no doubt it'll be 50/50 going by what folk have been saying already.
This!He saved us more than he cost us.
End of story imo.
His last ditch tackles were huge in us progressing.
