That's a cracking goal.
..I like him lots. Perhaps he was at fault not cutting out the cross for the Chelsea goal but other than that he was excellent. He’s classy but he’ll also die for the cause, him and Feeney got some great blocks in. When he breaks from defence he’s quite a powerful runner and once last night found himself on the edge of Chelsea’s box in open play.
..let’s not forget that Gibson is essentially still an U18 (I don’t think he’s 18 until summer) and I think Feeney is relatively young as well.
About 18 months ago a video of cracking goals from our youngsters from 9 years to 18 was published, including goals by Walsh and Dowell. The pick of the 13 yr olds was Lewis Warrington scoring a goal very similar to this , cutting across pitch and firing a fierce shot to the top right corner. I know he played in a Youdan u14 tournament about June last year , this goal must be a bit later if it’s u16. And apparently he’s not the best of the bunch.

we had a young team out as usual, must have been 7 or 8 teenagers, though foulds turns 20 this week. found it amusing how chelsea commentator was boasting how young their team was with 9 teenagers in comparison to us cos we had baxter on the bench.
Yeh I would say they have years ahead of them in the U23's but I feel they'll be accelerated to loans quicker than others.
This happened in the fixture Chelsea commentated on last season that Hazard (I think) played. Constantly saying how old our team was.
..let’s not forget, the very special ones can find themselves around the first team without a loan as happened with Tom Davies. I suppose a bit of luck can be involved in that route, usually dependent on injuries, suspensions and a youngster truly grabbing the opportunity.
Young Gibson is a bit of a Kevin Beattie type for those of my age. Lots to like about him but it’s a massive step up to Premier League.
Even harder taking the leap as a CB in my opinion.
..I think it’s even more difficult if your a Forward because the skill set and physicality is difficult to attain. I always saw Gibson as a LB but i’m not so sure now given the scarcity of left sided CBs. Saying that, we’re getting ahead of ourselves but it’s good that we’ve got 3 or 4 to keep a close eye on.
I did try telling you he's definitely a CB
..you did, Matey.

wow!!!
I mean he can play LB I just think it's a waste of an outfield position. Same when we stick Holgate RB.
