Gibson

[Filo]

How many times does he try to take people on midway in our own half and lose the ball? The first goal is totally on him, I’d have hooked him at half time for that

[Padge_DRFC]

Doesn't help when you've got a midfield inside that never show for the ball

[redarmi66]

He was at fault for the goal and almost cost us a couple minutes before doing the same thing. There is a player in there but my god he needs to wake up.
Same goes for Crew today as well. Far too pedestrian.

[GazLaz]

He was the only one who looked like he could beat a man or make anything happen while he was on. Was unlucky with the goal that was ruled out.

Yes, it was sloppy for the goal but so often our players recurve the ball with zero options. He just tried to do too much in the wrong area. Moly did a very similar thing later in the game, these things happen. In the final third he is a spark of creativity we miss.

[mushRTID]

McCann called him and Moly the best wingers in the league.

His contribution to our season has been an opening day goal, a goal at Colchester and a good 45minutes at Grimsby. A nice assist at Port vale.

Aside from that he’s easy on the eye, but it rarely leads to anything. He can’t tackle. He isn’t a fighter. He loses the ball in dangerous positions (today isn’t the first time).

3 year deal as well, really poor signing.

Difference is mate is that Moly puts himself about and puts a shift in.Gibson is a luxury we cannot afford to carry in this league

Gibson doesn’t offer as much out of possession than others but we knew that when we signed him. Can’t sign a player like that then complain when he’s not the best defensively! He’s been the same all of his career!!

So surely we can expect more of what he is supposedly good at?

[The Dav]

What about Ironside, we could all see he was getting bossed by their centre half ! The obvious sub at half time if not before was get Street on ! Grant is either out of his depth or tactically arrogant ! ATM I can’t work out which, thoughts ?

[Alan Southstand]

Heart as big as a pea!

End of.

He was on the end of the disallowed goal today. A better timed run/ball and it was a goal for him. Pretty fine margins between contributing and not.

Probably shouldnt have signed him then if he is not  able capable or willing to offer more. The way we play under Grant everyone needs to put a shift in.

[Padge_DRFC]

I'm still waiting for the Harry Clifton thread, but because he actually doesn't do anything to actually even have the chance to make a mistake he goes under the radar. Literally the 2 best things about him is his chant 2 times a season v Grimsby and he can run. Even off the ball he's usually late. Worst signing of the lot for me and I cannot believe we managed to replace Biggins with someone worse. Your could have picked 100 other players and they'd have been an upgrade on Biggins what we could afford

[In the box]

I can’t remember many games where he’s created problems for defences . Looses the ball too often and his passes seldom reach their intended target .

[dickos1]

Gibson isn’t great is he.
Never really beats a man, never really scores, never really creates anything.
Street looked better than him today, as did Ennis last week

The striker still had a lot to do even after Gibson gave it away, Olowu got done a bit too easily but it was a good goal by a big powerful lad. Gibson has quality it's evident, we just don't play to his strengths.

[dickos1]

What are his strengths? I imagine they’re similar to molyneux?

[andyst79]

Well according to GM him & Molly are the best two wingers in the league, (his words not mine! )so you'd think we'd want to get the ball forward early to either him or Molly into wide areas and let them have a go at either full back 1 on 1 for starters wouldn't you?!

[Prez]

Im still convinced theres a player in there with Gibson. Lets not forget some of us wrote Molz off last season and Olowu. He scored 9 goals in league 1 last season in a shocking Carlisle side. Yes he lost possession for the goal, but the whole team lost possession on many an occasion. It was just unfortunate for Gibson. Dont blame him for todays defeat, Only Street came away with any credit today.

[TonySoprano]

Gibson needs to mature and fast.

He probably is used to being the best player, from youth level all the way to a poor Carlisle team.
I think he's still playing like that, because he's never had to give 100% to be on top.

He's got to realise he needs to up his game, and start putting in 100% effort. Or his career will fizzle, and a free transfer to frickley will be on the cards.

[Ian Nimmo]

I have said many times on here, that he is very disappointing. Yeah I blamed in for the goal he lost the ball too easily when he had other options.
The problem his that when he looses the ball he never puts much effort to try and win the ball.
Also when I started to criticise him earlier in the season I specially watched him off the ball, and he is terrible just lazy waiting for the ball to come to him.
So anyone who thinks he offers anything, watch him of the ball the next time he plays!
I hate to single out any player, but I expected more from him.

[Chris Black come back]

He lost the ball and that wasn't great. Olowu got done by their big lad though, which was the only sniff he had from him all game. The distribution from Olowu was diabolical though for much of the game.

[ravenrover]

The problem was after Gibson lost it Olowu was wrong footed which allowed their No9 to get away

[Ian Nimmo]

Joe made a bad passes, but Christ he was nowhere near diabolical.
Too many statements like that and we will have no chance of keeping him.

Olowu has been this season but he was poor today and poor at Chesterfield. Pepple bullied him last week.

[Lesonthewest]

He lacks desire I'm afraid, but then again he wasn't the only one today.

[thumper]

agree with this, midfield is still a massive issue for me despite the loans coming in

[DRFCSouth]

Not his best, or anyone else's. Not helped when him & Molyneux are fed balls with little to no support around them.

I would take Biggins back in a heartbeat right now.

[mpc123]

I think Molly should be behind a front 1 or 2 , we have wingers and wing backs that can play too and cross. I don't think others are good enough to play 10 including Clifton who was yet again well off the mark.
