Jordan Gibson

I believe he is 'two footed', but certainly would pose a threat on either side. As I alluded to a few weeks ago, and Wayne Jacobs mentioned last night ....... Gibson needs to show and press more in training, if he wants more team appearances.

 

Now this lad has got quality in his boots. A rough diamond that needs polishing though. Everytime I’ve seen the lad play he’s looked the part and played well. Fair play to Grayson for answering the question honestly on the radio last night. If he isn’t pulling up trees in training then it’s hard to justify starting him over someone else that does.

Get him tied down on a long term deal and work with him and his family on sorting that side of his game out. We talk about Gilliead having the talent however this lad could be even better if that talent is handled and focused on the right direction. Then who knows in a few years we could have an outstanding young player on our hands.

 

What's holding him back in training Ronnie ?

 

Agree. Didn't dodge the question at all and it was quite a straight to the point question!

 

As @Jimmylivesnextdoor said - Grayson said he wasn't doing enough. It's on the link that was posted on the match thread last night.

 

That's just answered my question to Ronnie

 

I couldn't say. But perhaps his training doesn't shout 'PICK ME, PICK ME, BOSS' ?
Training sessions are the best place for any player to press his claims for team selection.

 

Again, apologies for repeating anything already posted. I'm still catching up.

 

Very raw still but showed great promise and ability

out of contract now though, see what happens with him

 

..Dose of indigestion B ...?

 

No, I didn't make it Rod. Hence Southend was my last game.
However, I do agree on your points, and before last night I had noticed he was more confident with his right. If he can continue to improve the use of his left (and other aspects to his game), City could have a great and versatile winger on their books.

 

Reed was a right footer and played mainly on the left

 

No argument from me.

Years ago, although I was predominantly right footed, I was deployed on the left wing more often than not. (But I suspect that I was the only 'left footer' that could actually run, dribble and cross !! I didn't say I was good at it ! )

 

So was Reid.

 

Sadly yes. This is where I despair with 'pro players'. I was brought up (and I have coached the same) to use your 'normal' side as best you can, but the ability to use the other is also crucial, the higher level you play, IMO.
