Gillet


J Bizzle

Recommended Posts

Showed last night exactly why he hasn't been playing.

 

He is utter ****e, gave it away every time he got it pretty much. Either through poor touch or poor passing. Was completely at fault for their second goal and was a massive weak link when he came on.

 

Can people please stop calling for him to start as he is **** and will not start unless 4/5 players are injured.

 

Yes Ponty, there are such things a typo's.

We relied on him last season for his work-rate and enthusiasm. As a result, he wasn't able to develop as an all-round player by playing in the academy and reserves. In an ideal world, he'd be just about breaking into the first team now, making the odd sub appearance and gradually being introduced to first team action. I do think he could be a decent player, if developed in the right way. Maybe Pards might get the best out of him...

Please don't knock J Bizzle's spelling. He's currently averaging 94% in his History degree at Bristol Uni, so I'd suggest it's you who doesn't know how to spell "Week", "Falt" and "Cam".

 

In fact, I'm about to give the OED a call and put them right too.

So Wotton's better? Rubbish!

In the same way as as Messi or Maradona are small?

 

I don't believe his size hinders him, just that some of his passing is a bit wayward at times

is this a joke..?

 

comparing size with the best player of this generation and one of the if IF NOT greatest players of all time..

 

hmmmmm

 

well done

You do realise he is nearly 24 don't you? A bit old for the Academy. I don't think being in the Reserves at that age is very promising either, unless it is for match fitness.

 

Not an excuse, and I didn't see him, but its always more difficult to come on as a sub late on and play accurate passes, especially as it was unexpected (due to an injry rather than tactical). Better to judge on full games. In the past he has looked more than capable, but it seems Pardew thinks a bit like the OP and isn't seeing the player that we saw last season on occassions. He still seems to me to be more suited to this division, but needs to up his game if he is to succeed.

Unlike the players you mention Gillett does not appear to have strength to with stand challenges or speed to get away from tacklers

Get real people. He's been frozen out of the side so far this season after being one of the first names on the team sheet for so long last season. He's going to take time to adjust to the pace of the game, certainly against Premiership opposition. His distribution was probably about 80% spot on last night, he won a header and in no way was he at fault for their second goal. My man of the match Dan Harding got caught on his heals and they exploited that.

In fact no-one seems to have hurled this level of insult at Wayne Thomas who was entirely at fault for their first goal by being a little too self-assured in an area of the pitch that we're more commonly used to him hoofing it (maybe he reads too many posters views on here and thought he was Rio Ferdinand?).

 

J. Bizzle, lets try and post in perspective in future with a reasoned argument and a decent understanding of the English language.

I thought Gillett lost the ball in midfield to give the ball to B'ham leading up to the first goal but I dont think he will be first choice this season now that Hammond is here

What I am saying, although a bit tongue in cheek, is that size alone means nothing to how much ability you have.

I happen to think that Gillets' low center of gravity makes it harder for him to be pushed off the ball in the way Lalana does, it his more his distribution that lets him down which has f all to do with size.

 

Get it?

The fact he was first name on the team sheet shows how bad we were last season. What game were you watching? it was more like 40%, which is ****ing awful. He was at fault for the goal, had he not been ball watching he'd have followed Carsley into the area thus not enabling him a free shot on goal. Harding should have delt with the cross better, but Gillet was not tracking his man (the main reason for the goal). I'm not saying Thomas wasn't at fault, but he is a much better player for us in this division than Gillet is and offers more to the team.

Only working for him whilst i'm away from uni, and as stated in another thread I was on a windup and actually got 84%. Doesn't count towards my degree though as it's the first year. Is this the end of it now? getting a tad boring.

I think we have become too accustomed to watching the apprentice's take on team's of improver's if not master's for the past year. It may have given them some experience but there has been a serious lack of nurture. If Gillett or any of the others had been brought through at a rate that matched their talent and skill then we would of seen better performances but less of them. I expect some of them would be better players and some of them would never of made the fisrt team, thing is we needed them.

 

With a team of seasoned players slowly being put together, my hope is they get the development they deserve and require.

He did because Thomas punted into his knees. You can't fault him for that. After all he was making himself available so Thomas didn't have to punt it to no-one

 

As for ball watching (J Bizzle) well you could criticise any of the midfield for the second goal. They were all ball watching and no-one picked up Carsley. Gillett could have picked him up but you are only singling him out because you've got a case to make against him.

sorry but i dont agree with this at all. He was not at fault for their 2nd goal, Thomas was, coupled with bad a very bad ref. Would have been difficult for him coming on after the injury to murty where we had played so well, last season he was one of a few shining lights in our team, so to come on here and say he is utter ****e is bollix!

Thomas' pass led to the ball being given away by Gillett for the goal, and to say his passing was awful, he knocked an absolutely beautiful half volley pass to lallana's feet from about 25 yards without looking where Lallana was at one point.

 

To be fair Wotton had one of his better games but I'd like to see him attempt that pass and achieve it anywhere near as well as Gillett did. Harsh criticism

Gillett gives the appearance of being busy because he runs all over the place but there is no end result. If we'd carried on with the Lowe experiment this season he would have been a regular again-and guess what we'd have gone down again! Hasten to add he wasn't not the only one resposible for our demise but at 24 he aint going to make it whereas properly nurtured one or two of the other ones just might. Time to offload IMO.

I knew a thread like this would pop up even before Gillett stepped onto the pitch. No matter how well or how badly he may or may not have played, I imagine the OP's eyes lit up when he saw Gillett come on as his chance had come to "prove all us Gillett fans wrong".

 

The fact is, mush, that Gillett didn't give the ball away every time he got the ball, in fact I can remember a few times he spread the ball nicely out wide to a rapturous applause and made a couple of decent challenges on Lee Carsley. His vision on the ball is something we've been hugely lacking.

 

He gave the ball away a few times, yes, as did other players but let's remember that this was Gilletts first appearance this season so he was hardly going to be match fit was he? Considering he probably had no sharpness at all he actually did well, what with being thrown in at the deep end against Premiership opposition.

 

Pardew doesn't rate him, that's obvious, so well done J Bizzle you will get your way and SG won't be in the team, but all those fans who can see past his lack of height and realise that he's actually a good player, will be disappointed at Pardews judgement.

Ridiculous thread... he played about half an hour hardly played so far this season and imo was one of, if not our best player last season in a better league so much better than that shower of sh*te wotton...

Everyone has their own opinions about players and that's what forums like this are for. No one is right and no one is wrong. Personally I'd be tempted to say he's the the midfield version of Lee Todd but then people would say I'm just saying that because of his size...so I'll just say I don't think he is up to it.

 

He isn't a young kid anymore and he really should be doing better than he is if he's as good as people say. A much much poorer version of Prutton (and i didn't rate him much either) but all in my opinion.

I agree - thought he was a stand-out player last year. At first, thought he was just another poor talentless young'un herded into Lowe's PR rip-off of the century - in other words he had to overcome alot of resistance. But he did and I think he emerged last season as one of our best players (of course, nobody really covered themselves in glory). He's by no means the finished article -he's inconsistent- but that's true of a number first-teamers.

 

The guy has had little more than half an hour of competitive football so far and on Tues we were upset less by the gap left in midfield by James departure/Gillett's arrival than the soft spot at RB which seemed to affect the composure of the rest of the backline - not good when you've got the permanent accident waiting to happen in Thomas who can look OK for long periods then completely lose it.

 

Uni standards are dropping it seems...

Just seen both goals, ang gillet was at fault for both. First one very poor defending, which I didn't realise at the game. The second was as I said bad positioning. He should have been back with Carsley, not up the ****ing pitch. He left Schneiderlin 2 maybe 3 on 1.

 

Most people on here are southampton fans and tactically and technically know **** all about football. If you did, you would realise he is not up to it. Hope to see him in the stands in the future.

Thomas and him was absolutely at fault for the first goal we conceded last night. First of all Thomas 's garbage control of the ball has let everyone down. It is just a very easy ball to control but his stupid first touch takes about 48 hours to get control of the whole ball. Then his weak pass was to Gillet was poor.

After that Thomas was in the no mans land and exposed the space for Bowyer to make a run but Gillet should have spotted it, however Gillet didn't know Bowyer was making the run behind him. After that we conceded the first goal, such a soft goal!!!! If we didn't concede the first goal, we maybe able to hold on our lead.

Stick to your books cos you are thick if you think Gillett is crap

Obviously Bizzle(isn't that a poor mans hoover?) has a major problem with Gillet. Thomas's ridiculous short pass was the problem with the first goal.

As for the second goal- I'd have to see it again, but Thomas poor positioning and lack of pace was a problem in my opinion.

Gillet was not perfect, but I actually thought his passing in general was very good and he probably saw more of the ball in ratio to minutes played than most other players on the pitch. He constantly made himself available to the defenders for the pass, as opposed to Wotton (who had a decent game) who is generally nowhere near the middle of the park to receive the first pass.

 

Bizzle(I've just remembered that it was bissel that was a poor man's hoover!!), I would respectfully suggest that you know **** all about football. And unlike the carpet cleaner which picked up crap, you seem to spout it!

Even though Thomas weak pass was crap, I thought his first touch is much more amazing. I have mentioned about he took about 48 hours to take full control with such a easy ball on the floor.

Even thought Wotton had one of his better game but Gillet can easily play as well as that. However, I think it is fair enough Schneiderlin, L James and Hammond to start ahead of Gillet just because they are better center midfielders. But no way Wotton can be picked ahead of Gillet, it must be a disgrace.

J. Bizzet is spot on.. the game turned on Murt's injury, we lost the midfield tracking of James as Gillet drifts all over the pitch. Surely you saw Pardey screaming at him af ter only couple of minutes as he was lost on the right wing with the midfiekd totally exposed. However, Thomas hospital pass was responsible for the build up to the 1st goal; but Gillett not tracking back was responsible for the 2nd.

Offload time !

Well, I was at the game too and my opinion is that Gillett added some bite and endeavour. Had Murty been on the field, I don't think that Brum would have got either goal, as the defence just fell to pieces after he had to be taken off; all their discipline which had been excellent before, disappeared. Thomas was the weak link.

 

Gillett didn't do a lot wrong when he came on and I think that given the chance he could develop into a pretty good player, especially at the level where we are now. We have been complaining at the lack of effort and commitment in some of these early games (not against Brum) and I'm confident that Gillett would have made a difference. Wotton was better on Tuesday, but that isn't saying much at all, as he was absolutely dire in other games. I'd have Gillet over him every game. Now we have Hammond, Gillett will make a decent back-up to him.

wrong again!! Thomas had the chance to clear and didnt, well not properly. Single out Gillet ass much as you want but there were 10 other players on that pitch too. James was doing well in CM but was exposed at RB as he often is, Wotton was in CM too, why not blame him as well? Or Perry for not closing down, or Davis for not being able to save it. You're only using Gillet because you have a problem with him. You preach about fans knowing **** all about football....look in the mirror mate!

Hmm another pointless thread. Without doubt our best outfield player last year and has hardly had a look in this year and suddenly he is "utter ****e"

Wotton was a lot better than Gillett last night I thought.

 

I just feel Gillett is too small

 

 

Lots of people use that as an excuse to get rid of players ..

like we did with two youngsters we had as teenage apprentices....

......Kevin Phillips and Dennis Wise ...!

 

....anyone recall those names ?

 

I think Gillett has lots of potential. You can't condemn him on the strength of a couple of poor sub appearances.

I dont think Gillet or Wotton are upto to the job and Hammond & Spiderman are much better in centre midfield Wotton had his best game and is still a poor option in the engine room of a team and while Gillet is a better footballer but sorry folks he is to small to be that small in professional football you have to be very very talented and he is not they will both do good jobs as squad players and when called upon will give everything

for the team.

 

I think AP isnt keen due to his hieght we were a small side last season and AP is trying to change that in this hurly burly league you have to compete physicaly end of

And 'Gillet' (sic) should be spelt with two t's not one .

 

Speaking as one of your "council estate scum" and entirely without the benefit of your much vaunted university education I can only console myself with the knowledge that at least I possess the common courtesy to spell a players name correctly before lambasting him .

 

You sir are living proof that the entry requirements for university these days are not quite all they could be .
