It’s why he either scores what look like goals that come from a natural instinctive gift or blazes them high & wide.

The latter being all too familiar.

Highlights here.

His chance isnt as easy as people are making out.
Many others fluffed their chances so harsh on gibson.

Sharp, molyneux, middleton, gotts all had chances that they either slashed wide or didnt even get the shot off.

And Haks running offside when in acres of space. That was the chance to win it

Should still have got it on target though.

This is a big downfall for us. Our players when getting a chance to shot look more just to hit it and hope it goes in or on target at least.
When Cardiff came to us you could see that they were placing it. Shows the gulf in top to bottom.

Mcindoe, his right leg was only good for standing on
