Another player it's important we get signed up on a 2 year contract ASAP in my opinion,even more so if we don't get promoted.

He would definitely be in my starting line up for the remaining games, great technical ability and is capable of carrying the ball into good positions. agree he can be frustrating at times and some of his tackling can be "lightweight", I do however think he's a better option at RWB than Senior who unfortunately does not seem to be up to FL standard and Barclay who is not mobile or technical enough to be an attacking outlet in our system.

I feel sorry for Senior as he starts and does ok one week then not in the squad the next! strange

He's had his best games playing wide, when played in the middle his decision making has been weaker. RWB or on the wing and he can provide an additional supply for the forwards.

Totally agree Gibson is hit and miss but without Ellis or Back we struggle to threaten on that side of the pitch.

I'd keep him.

I like Gibson. Always tries to make things happen but I’m not sure Simmo is too happy with his attitude at times.

I don't see him starting in midfield ahead of any of Guy, Moxon or McCalmont.
Right wing-back maybe.
Not sure I'd break the bank to keep him, he's capable but hugely inconsistent and his decision making in the final third is largely awful.

He's had a couple of decent performances lately and has been much improved this season, but he's still frustratingly inconsistent. Let's be honest, he wasn't even our best midfielder in October.
I still wouldn't break the bank to keep him, but just by standing still he's moved ahead of both Moxon and McCalmont in the pecking order (which probably says more about them than it does him).
Interesting you mention management there, deary. Where does the blame lie for McCalmont's poor performances and Moxon's form falling off a cliff?

Where does the blame lie for McCalmont's poor performances and Moxon's form falling off a cliff?I would suggest that would be with the players, dearie. But again I would also suggest that Moxon has not been anywhere near as bad as you make out, things like that happen when you only watch it on TV. Gibson, currently, is the only midfielder that offers something different, yes he is inconsistent, wingers usually are. Don't forget the wing back comment, that is the laughable part, then again you probably thin he would be better than Back there still Player up for award October potm proclaimed by the genius "wasn't even our best midfielder in October"

Guy's been our best midfielder all season so far (including October) by a country mile.
Whether Gibson would be a better "wing-back" than Back is an interesting question.
At wing-back I'd say probably yes, at full-back probably not.
Isn't it the manager's job to get the best out of the players?
If "performance is all down to the players", why even have a manager at all?

No and yes He can't control them on the pitch like he was playing a PS5 or Xbox, have some common sense for a change, Moxon can take a corner, we saw that plenty last season, this season he can not, is this Simno's fault? Stop being an utter arse, as is your usual wont, you twist and turn every sentence around, it is pathetic, you know fine well what was being said.

Is Simno the brother of Simyes?
Nobody is suggesting the manager has control over the players as if he was playing a computer game. That's a ridiculous assertion, clearly.
However, it's not unreasonable to say the manager is responsible for the general level of performance of the players. It's ultimately his responsibility to bring the best out of them.
If one player lost a bit of form, you'd maybe put it down to individual circumstances. However when many players lose their form at the same time, this kind of collective downturn is less easy to rationalise by just blaming the players.
Edit: As for Moxon's set pieces. Has our preparation, practice, work on the training pitch changed from last season? Are we playing better teams who can defend better? Has Moxon's ego been inflated by his agent and talk of cold hard cash?
Ultimately the questions you have to ask are: could Simpson have managed the situation better? Why isn't Paul Gerrard still at the club? Could contract talks have been managed better? Was airing the dirty linen in public wise? Should a player in transfer limbo be the creative hub of our team?
Multiple factors at play, but has Simpson done the best job in this instance?
