Satoshi Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 How many times has numbers promised to stop posting on this thread now? Bing, who wanted Clarke sacked, and Lex who thought Gilmour would join Rangers are surely the only posters worse at making predictions than him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bing Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 17 hours ago, Jambomo said: De Zerbi looks like an excellent appointment at Brighton. Players who have been coached by him previously have said how brilliant he is and his Sassuolo team contributed the most players to the national team from any of the clubs. Really looking forward to seeing what he can do with Gilmour, he sounds like someone who could get the best out of him. You can see that in keeping him in the squad despite his lack of game time, Clarke is showing the same faith and support in him that he showed Patterson. I like that, it’s good for these guys to feel supported and I think Clarke has only done it when he knows they will be a big part of the squad in the future. I know he's very highly rated and did very well there. Do you have any information or opinions on his use of and development of younger players? Gilmour is due some luck when it comes to managers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Sassuolo play when he was in charge and they were good to watch, but I only saw a couple of games. Locatelli and Boetang both spoke about him in a couple of interviews I read, saying how good a manager he is, but I don’t know much beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 An unused substitute again today. It’s a strange one that as he’s better than Modric. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modric in only his second season as a regular with Dinamo Zagreb aged 21. Gilmour with a full season of EPL football under his belt and signed by another EPL team (his parent club appearing keen to keep him). Jorginho was in Serie B at this age and Kante in the French third division. Gilmour will be fine, I don't think anyone expected him to be walking into the first 11 of a high performing team, that's not how top level football works. Now they have gone off form his chances of playing more minutes have actually increased. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 He’s still living off that performance in the 0-0 win against England I see. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well by that age Jorginho and Kante were no where near that level. There's absolutely no doubt about that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he just not match fit or does the manager not think he is good enough? Tuchel has been quoted recently saying he expected much more from Gilmour. Norwich didn't seem to think much of him and now he can't get into a struggling Brighton side. He is still young but he needs to get to a point soon where he is playing regular football and playing well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Algebraist Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Brighton's results have been meh recently but there is nothing wrong with how they're playing. He needs to wait his chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 The overreactions on here to a player not starting every single game are wild. He's just joined them, they'd been performing well up to that point, they just changed manager, and it's always therefore going to take a wee while to get up to speed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he started any games for them though?. It's just a bit strange they wouldn't even chuck him on for the last 5 minutes against Forest. Next 2 games are against Man City and Chelsea so it will be interesting to see if he gets any game time there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 They've only played 5 games since he arrived, and he was miles behind on match fitness on account of completely missing pre-season with Chelsea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewing Taffies Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Hopefully you are correct and it is just a fitness issue. If he can't come on for 5 minutes after training with a club for 2 months, he must be very unfit! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streets of Raith Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 A bit of perspective; Alexis Mac Allister is now the fulcrum of Brighton's midfield, but it has taken him 4 seasons to arrive at this point: 22/23: 10 of 10 starts (Age 23) 21/22: 22 of 38 starts (22) 20/12: 9 of 38 starts (21) 19/20: 4 of 38 starts (20) I'd suggest that Gilmour is probably in the 10-20 range this season, and that's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he's being included in Argentina squads otherwise Billy could've tried twisting his armSome crazy opinions on Gilmour, he still won't be fully up to speed, and it's hard to see who to drop from that Brighton team just now as they're doing great. They've got 3 league games before their next League Cup tie, hopefully he can start one of them and the league cup game and get more involved from there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's normal for De Zerbi not to change a winning team when he came in so BG will have to wait for now. When he gets opportunities to get on the pitch it's up to him to take them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but also tbh I would have hoped he would have had a bit more time on the pitch than he has had so far. Early days tho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we will shortly be adding the Brighton manager to the list of club managers who are incorrectly leaving him out of their teams and missing out on his world class talent.
