Gilbert
Gone. If he was a horse he would be on the way to the
glue factory.
glue factory.
Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.

easily been our worst this year... im all for giving chances and i rarely go at players but no... gilbert is done... his confidence is done.. his trust from the teammates is done... and tbh i highly doubt he will be at the club next year.. regardless what he does next
sorry but i cant defend this guy.... his critical errors are way to high against his touches... and theyre always at the worst time in the game.. its like he deliberately does it...

get rid of him
Brought the club into disrepute on several fronts. Should have been sacked at start of the season.

If I could be bothered I would dig out the post from 2010 when this whole Duthie affair broke... back then I said he needed to be 'exited' from the club.... and I was howled down by everyone on here for being a short-sighted fool who had zero understanding of football club culture.....
I'm very sad to say it seems I was right (and believe me, I was really hoping I was dead wrong)

What about Roo he could be in the same boat. The pair of them are not playing well, but it runs deeper than those two. We are pressured in the backline because we are not defending through our midfield. We are not getting the ruck taps our way and without lenny we lack a guy who can steal the ball regardless. Armo and Jones went ok but are better at the bash and crash than linking the next player in.

Like most other saints supporters, I too am disappointed by Sam's form. I'm not exactly surprised though. He has clearly been traumatised by the events of the off-season and I think it's reflected in the way he's been playing. He looks confused, indecisive and rushed in everything he does. It is the complete opposite to the past couple of years, when he was amongst the competition's elite.
The rumours that all is not well between him and his team mates over the KD scandal can't be helping. I don't know if those rumours have any basis, but watching him play, it's clear that he is distracted and doesn't seem to be fully focused on the task at hand. If there is any bad blood, or Sam is suffering from post traumatic stress (I think he shows all the signs), I hope the club psychologist is working closely with him.
Sam Gilbert is a quality player, whom we should not consider trading. I think he's one of the players we can build our future around. Like the rest of the team, atm he is completely lacking in form and confidence. Those last two things can be recovered quickly. There are still 17 rounds to go.

I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Whilst I agree with this entirely and think Gilbert needs some Sandy time to find his Mojo - The above could be said for the whole team - the total lack of confidence to move the ball on and hit targets is a problem the whole team is facing. The days of back chipping to flat footed defenders is over - It seems that along with our poor skills no one is willing to run - the opposition is just given too much time to close us down - People talk about leg speed being a problem but I think its more about ball movement - unless players are willing to run and make position we are in big trouble and I personally don't think thats going to happen unless they have confidence that their team mates have the skills to deliver the ball to them when they present
