Gilbo..coincidence...?

Post: # 1088194Post saint66au »

You-know-who is in the limelight again..and Gilbo had a shocker

Sadly appeared to have lost all the confidence and form he was rediscovering over the last 3 weeks. Looked hesitant and slow to make decisions

Hopefully a blip :-)

Honestly looked like he had some sort of a concussion. He was slow and indecisive.

he was fine in this respect last week. one of the worst games i've seen him play tonight. nothing to panic about, he's still a very capable player.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't believe it's a "coincidence" at all.
He probably feels responsible for inflicting her on all our lives and I dare say when she's all over the news it takes his mind off what he's supposed to be doing. He was dreadful tonight.

I feel very sorry for Gilbo. More than any other player at the club I genuinely feel we have a duty to show him that we still rate him and want him at our club.

Have to say I was thinking exactly the same. Even if this last lot of publicity doesnt relate directly to him each time she rears her ugly head it must bring everything to mind for him again and put him in a bad headspace.

He was started up forward last night and I believe he needs to play half-back where he has the ball in front of him, and he can run down the ground.
The confidence seems to disappear when he is played out of his comfort zone.
I know we need another forward to help Roo but i don't think Gilbo is it.

I thought he looked a bit 'off' in that way too. May of course have simply been a shitty night.

He's a defender, probably not happy starting forward and couldn't get going after that.

Gilbert is about as much as forward as I am an astronaut! Probably lost confidence early, and I don't think he will be in the forward line again.

let him play where he feels comfortable ie half back and forget about him anywhere else.

I don't reckon it's a coincidence at all, I think he has guilt issues.

Considering he was the centre of the issue for quite some time, her repeat performances must be like a kick in the nuts to him, each time they happen.

Not at all surprised that her surfacing had an effect on his game.

Who really cares about Gilbert...? He's off to GWS next year and I say good riddance! He has caused this club far too more trouble than he's worth.

He had sex with a girl. It turned out to be the girl from hell.

Cut the guy some slack :roll:
