Hanley and Gibson

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,468]

Well if no one else is going to start a thread for these guys , I will. 
How many blocks did these guys get in , in the first half ? Gibson in particular was immense . 
Kept us in it . 

And Hanley got the winner .

Outstanding performances .

Not going to go overboard but just saying I prefer AO to either of them but would prefer Gibson to Hanley.

And surely Kabak must come into the reckoning.

Hanley's goal will certainly mask a few head in hands moments, but Gibson had a great game.

Hmmm. I would say good but not that good but improved as game went on. Stuck in well and overall a confidence builder for both of them. Still think AO would be a better choice, but in a back four you can only play 2 cbs, so I guess he'll have to wait for his chance again.  

[Danke bitte 967]

Hanley got the winner but was culpable for their goal and got away with that slip.

I feel he gets into his head too often. Thinks too much and then makes a mistake. Hopefully Smith can help iron that out of his game.

Agreed @keelansgrandad Big Andy and Gibson for me

That’s how I saw it, but I’m pleased for him to get a goal 👏

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,468]

AO is going to be great , no question. Just saying that in the first half I haven’t seen so many blocks from our centre backs for ages .

What’s the difference between Grant Hanley and Pele?
 

 

 

 

Pele doesn’t think that he’s Grant Hanley!

It would be tough to drop either of them after today, but then again, it was harsh to drop Omobamidele after Brentford.

I think Kabak may be the one who finds himself on the sidelines for the immediate future.

Hanley had a shocker in the first half and a blinder in the second.

Where were you sitting ?  From behind the goal in the Barclay he made at least two goal bound blocks.

But you would expect him to. And second half when we stopped the playing out from the back, he looked far more comfortable.

Whatever . I’m losing the will to live now . 
We won for fûck sake .

Hanleys goal masks what was a pretty shocking performance from him, 2 of Gibson, Oma, Kabak going forward for me. 

Any news on why Kabak wasn't even in the squad? 

[Branston 56]

Gibson two outstanding games in a row . Only question should be who the other CB is . For me Oma .
