Is anyone else a bit surprised that Gibson seems to be out of favour ? ..I think he’s the best cb at the club and one of the front runners for player of the year…is he carrying a knock ?

Gibson (why is he out of favour?)
- Thread starter doozer
- Start date
Maybe an offer has come in for him and the powers that be don't want him getting injured? I hope not.
I don't think he's out of favour, just being rested because hes played so many matches this season. We need all our good players firing with energy for the final 2 games
Scarr's redemption arc has been brilliant, but now might be the time to bring Gibson back to add a little composure, either (my preference) to switch to a 4, retaining Scarr and slotting Galloway at LB; or (probably ND/KN's preference) at the heart of a back 3 with Scarr on the bench.
Gibson has been my player of the year, I feel like a lot of Argyle fans underrate him tbh

Gibson does like to take a touch whilst Galloway is more of a first time passer. With Scarr in the middle the defence can already be ponderous. Right thing to bring Scarr back after the way he was treated by Foster, equally right now to bring Gibbo back and rest Scarr.
I don’t think he’s under rated or out of favour. Its just unfortunate that our best two central defenders are both left footed ( Galloway)
If he was right footed they would be the first two defenders on the team sheet

I think he has been hard done by. Obviously they want to pick Galloway to persuade him to sign a new deal at (already contracted) Gibson's cost
Yep you make a good point, with contract talks ongoing it's important the club keep ouour highest performing players happy.
Ha ha normally like your comments but scar bashing again yeh Gibson decent player but makes his share of errors the problem is midfield shorely you can see that Mr pedlar

The discussion was about the defence and stop calling me Shirley.
I think Gibson started the season very well.
However, he's actually contributed his fair share of dodgy moments, but when these happen he avoided being dropped/rotated.
All the other CBs have usually been benched after an error - perhaps not Phillips - but Gib seemed untouchable.
Don't know the reason for being benched at this moment, but seems fair to me in some ways.
The only CB who's not really had dodgy moments (until Stoke) is Galloway.

Serious football clubs do not operate like that when they need to win football matches.
He’s not playing because we rotated Galloway in for his pace vs Leicester and Galloway was excellent next to Scarr who was MOTM. It made total sense to play the same 11 next time out
