You've finally acknowledged the fans when you came off and not had a strop. Funny how he didn't head straight for the tunnel, you'd have thought he'd need physio more on a cold night like that!!! Maybe he's reading this board. He was a lot better last night as well, considering he obviously wasn't totally fit.

Personally i thought Gifton was our worst player on the pitch and should of came off a lot earlier than he did. He looked knackered from the beginning but that's only my opinion so that counts for nowt!  |

He was dreadful last night. Failed to keep up with play and got a rocket from Ade first half.
Set up the second goal but only contribution of his worst performance in a long while.

He didn't go straight into the dressing room because he came off in the 89th minute!
And the man is a star, leave him alone.

Just think he had a bad game mate and should of been subbed earlier.

I thought Gifton was cack for about 30 mins, last 15 mins of the first half he got going, which seemed to coincide with the team getting going-goes to prove what an important player he is for us.
Second half I thought he played well, won a few headers, set up the goal with a GREAT header and won a few free kicks to take the pressure of us a bit....last night for me was yet another example of when Gifton plays poor the team does not perform, but when he gets going....the team get going.
The worst performer in the first half and for quite a lot of the second half untill we scored our second goal, was Hooky in my oppinion, looked lethargic, barely attacked his opposing full back, and if he gave the ball straight back to Hall/Russell once after being passed to, he gave it back to them a hundred times, he just did'nt look positive enough for me. saying that he took his pen well.

I didn't think he had a bad game at all. Not one of his best perhaps but he still won plenty and it looked likely we'd get a goal through the Gifton - Ade combo at some point.
Hooky drifted out of the game second half and I thought it was time to get Commons on for him, but to be fair he got back into it in the last 15 minutes or so.

IMO GNW is not fit, end of story except: . He's also not helped by having(?) to play as an auxilliary right back but then again he tends to do so when like last night we're winning the game and there's not a lot of time left.
I'd query TP here not GNW. I've seen enough of him to know that he has no need to score a goal as his all round worth to the team is immense.
I really can't believe there are those on here criticising him on his recent performances.
We need to win on Saturday to get to 50 points and safety (I'm not putting the cart before the horse here regarding play offs) and if I was TP I'd tell him to go away for 2 weeks and rest up. It's not as if we're strapped with Asaba to come in.
GNW for Mayor - that's what I say!

Gifton's basically a chilled-out entertainer.
We should learn to accept him for what he is. He'll have is off-days, but when he's on song he's proved himself as one of the best leaders of our forward line for more years than I care to remember.

Despite him being well below par I wouldn't think twice about starting with him on Saturday, particularly considering the opposition.
Bit disappointed he didn't support Ade as well as he could but still nodded on for the goal and put another great knock down to him first half.
As someone said before, when not on the pitch he is missed so much.

"Gifton's basically a chilled-out entertainer."
I would like to think that's his dressing-room nickname ;D
