Harry Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Gabby could have been a much much better player for us. The trouble is his sole ambition in football was to play for Villa. Once he achieved that.....well the rest is history. Having said that he scored some crucial goals for us over the years so thank you for them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Having said that I loved the video, some great memories. You just wonder how MON's side did not achieve so much more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted April 28, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2018 Didn't hear a single person sing his name in the lap of appreciation. He looked a little tubby to me again, he's got no appetite for the game anymore. I think he will go straight to retirement. A very low key exit for someone who could have been a club legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 6 hours ago, markavfc40 said: Who mentioned just scoring goals with his head? I think he was decent in the air given he is not the biggest and wasn't actually seen as a central striker given he played over half his games for us out wide. I have never ever got close to saying Gabby was a great goal scorer. No one in their right mind would claim that. He certainly found a number of goals at crucial times for us though. I know you don't rate him mate which is fair enough. I'd hope you'd join the vast majority of us though in giving him a good send off before today's game. I did.

Because they didn't do much at home......lacked consistency. we played a smash and grab style, that favoured away fixtures and didn't dominate possession at home. it appealed to some fans and not others. but in the whole scheme of things, we would swap the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashingqwerty Posted April 30, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2018 its sad really, he had such great potential and poor application and no small amount as mismanagement robbed us of the player he might have been. As it is, i say get out, stay out, and dont come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 He's been poor for quite some time now but in fairness to him, he did score some incredibly clutch goals at times. The winner against West Ham in 2011 and the goals against Norwich away in 2013 spring to mind, as do the late winners against SHA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
