Quote ="cheekydiddles"Players like Brad Godden who I think was awesome for us wasn't the biggest or fastest,a bit like Gibson but he had a great pair of hands and could read the game and make space for his winger and put him away.
From what I've seen of Gibson he doesn't yet have that and i'm not sure he ever will?

I'm happy to be proven wrong - But if I remember rightly (and my memory is on it's way out) in the first half on Sunday, Gibson showed great handling/quick hands on a couple of occasions to give Donald the ball in space. The only reason he didn't score was due to the Saints awesome defence.
Also, I read someone knocking Gibson for not giving the ball to Donald in the second half and going for the line himself - Was this the time he was bundled into touch by Meli & A N Other? If so, Donald had even less room to make it to the line, so Gibson made the correct call - Now if Donald had called 'switch' and cut inside that might have been different.
He looks to be a tough lad - with a decent head on him. If Smith does go, it'll be interesting to see people's thoughts on Gibson come the end of the season, after a decent run of games
