Gibson

[IDM]

Was really up for it today, deserves a thread in his honour.

Folks have said before he doesn’t back track enough to help out, but today, he was back in our corner making tackles.

Didn’t quite have his shooting boots on today, but was excellent nonetheless.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yes, definitely put a shift in and looked a proper team player today. We'll done.

[Ryaldinhio]

Yep agree 100%

Thats the player and the effort we want to see every week.

[Jonathan]

Very good player.

[RobTheRover]

I'd have loved him to score again Bradford seeing as he's a former player for them.

[dickos1]

That was his best performance of the season today, he was excellent.

[Scooter]

I was hoping he would score. A so called fan behind me kept singing ‘Gibson is a w**ker’.

[Pancho Regan]

A serious contender for MOM today.
He got better with every ‘boo’ from the City fans.

I was willing him to score, and he came so close more than once.

He’s a bit of an enigma but Grant has backed him this season and he may flourish in League One next season.

He is the epitome of a ‘confidence player’.
He needs to be loved to deliver his best.

[talksbollox]

Sorry, not good enough. Hasn%u2019t  been at the level we need all season so he won%u2019t be anywhere near what we need next season.

Completely agree, the fact he is ex Bradford and they were getting on his back no doubt improved his performance today because he wanted to prove them wrong. If Grant can manage his attitude he’s a good player.

[MachoMadness]

Was superb today. A shame he couldn't put one of those chances away, but was a big part of that performance today.

Some proper tits aren't there?

I gave Gibson a hug in the Sal and told him he'll eat L1 alive next year. He was excellent today.

Good on you BST.
I’m gutted I missed the Sal celebration tonight!

[drfchound]

Gibbo had a very good game today.
I am repeating here what I have been saying about him, that is that he has terrific skills and is very quick.
He isn’t afraid to take on a defender and often leaves them standing ….. but I just wish his shooting was better plus all too often, the final ball.
I’m dearly hoping that the staff will be working on those things because he could well be a big player for us next season.

I sincerely hope you’re right Dickos, I’d be very happy to eat my words.

They just released his coffee with Hoden video filmed last week. Comes across really well in it.

Was unlucky not to score with the ricochet off the post and keeper, it was a very intelligent run similar to the 1 for his goal last week

Yeah he is a bit of an enigma. Certainly has natural ability and possibly the best with the ball at his feet at the club. Gives the impression with his body language that he is a bit lazy and disinterested, possibly even a tad arrogant on the pitch but actually when my lad was mascot he seemed quite shy and reserved compared to some of the other lads. This certainly comes across in the interview with Hoden as well and he admits he’s often hard on himself and his body language can be misinterpreted that way. Proper shift yesterday.

[RoversInSpain]

Said this many times on this forum, he’s where Molly was 2 years ago.
Patience!
This club is making players better, Broadbent the latest. Crew, came back from the Welsh squad ‘not at it’ (quote Grant) and he hadn’t featured for several games… then all of a sudden, Bang! He’s playing like a little Norman Hunter getting right at ‘em, harassing getting the ball and playing nice passes off. Forum loves him now 3 weeks ago folk moaning how poor our loans are.

[allezallezallez]

Hope he comes a more consistent player and has more impact on games.  IMO the Jury is still out....

[Jonathan]

He’s got tonnes of ability. The way he can receive the ball in tight spaces gives us something different to anyone else in the squad. If we back him and support him he can be a huge player for us.

[rich1471]

look at his stats they are good for goals and assist for a winger

He’s technically our best footballer. He has the most talent. Does he convert it into output as well as others consistently? No, but he can play.

[Chris Black come back]

Scored more goals last season in League One for a very poor side that got relegated, than he has so far this season in League Two. He can perform at League One level. Not so many others in the squad have proved that.

I’d say thats a pretty accurate assessment tbh.

Enjoyed this. Enjoyed them all actually.

He makes a good point when asked about the criticism. We're so lucky to have Molyneux on the other side. Any other winger in League Two will look average when the guy on the other side is hitting 30 goal contributions like it's nothing.

Think we've definitely needed a bit of perspective with Gibson. Molyneux has had a monster of a season. One he might never have again. Gibson's done well. He's a League one/two winger - he's going to be frustrating, they all are.

Just out of interest Gaz, do you have any names you think we should be looking to sign for next season that are likely to be within our budget?

[boro_rover]

Gibson gets a lot of unnecessary flack in my opinion. You can see what he is trying to do and he has never deviated from that. He is a couple of small tweaks away from becoming a very good player.
He takes responsibility with the ball amd tries to do something with it. He just needs to improve his final ball and finishing ability and he will be some player.
