Instantly improve the catering at Withdean?

Cruel to be kind, ermm... Telling your mate he needs to move on from his ex-girlfriend because she ain't coming back is cruel to be kind. Abusing a 19 year old lad, thats just shitty, no kindness there at all.

No as usual...people have completely disagreed with my opinion and started trying to chase for answers to how ive come about the opinion that gatting is not good enough...

I don't completely disagree with you. In fact, I do agree with your view that Gatting doesn't have what it takes to make it, we only differ by how we show it.

I didn't lay into Gatting on Saturday because it doesn't help him, and I was fairly sure Wilkins had to be seeing what we were seeing. I think he will follow Robinson back to a spell in the ressies now.

That's not to say I've never laid into a player because I have, but Gatting looks low on confidence as well as ability, so I felt a volley of abuse wouldn't help. But if I had completely disagreed with you, I'd have turned around and said so, and the fact that NO-ONE around us turned round and had a go at you, nor stood up and defended Gatting - except for a couple of sarcastic bits of enthusiastic praise when he completed a pass - seemed to speak volumes for the general opinion of him.

It's sad to say, but he looks like Scott Ramsey to me. He's okay, does a lot of things quite well, but has no stand-out ability (pace / strength / heading / first touch / finishing etc) that will enable him to make it in the pro game.

My opinion, not based on fact, just based on what I think. And I would be over the fecking moon if the guy could prove me wrong.

No..ive got it on wednesday morning....bricking it to be fair!

And, presumably, while you are doing this presentation you won't mind if people heckle you, tell you you're sh*t, and generally abuse you throughout the whole thing?.... after all, its what you're paid to do....

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Gatting could play well in defence.

goals since christmas
Savage 2 in 5 +1 sub
Gatting 4 in 10 + 4 sub
Hammond 2 in 9
Ward 1 in 6
Cox 1 in 13
Robinson 0 in 10 + 1 sub



To paraphrase Ernest, The fact that doesnt lie.
Gattings doing ok, before anyone says " so he's got a few goals ,what else has he done?" what more do you want?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I rate Gatting and think he will come good.

 

[mona]

Bang on. Gatting is simply NOT good enough for this division, I think he could find a role in a conference side but above that and he is out of his depth. The lad just doesn't have it, the choice should be

Savage and Elder or Revell or Robinson or Hart and then Gatting if all of the other 4 are unfit to partner Savage.

Gatting is by far the worst of the 5 strikers we have. Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.

I was unsure.
After reading this post I am now 100% sure that Joe Gatting will make the grade.

Well thats him f***ed.

 

[larus]

I rate Gatting and think he will come good.

So do I KG. I think he has shown improvement over the last few weeks, and is still a NOVICE.

Perhaps those slagging him off should think about their own jobs/trades. You improve with experience.

Yes, you can't learn pace, but you can learn to read the game/anticipate better, and this is what I see him doing.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Its funny some of the people slagging of Gatting are the same ones defending Robinson to the halt.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I rate Gatting and think he will come good.

Depends how you define 'good'. He'll always be slow and ponderous, er, I mean he holds the ball up well. Not his fault. It's genetic. Not being funny, but maybe cricket would be a better career choice.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Yeah maybe Sheringham would have been a better Cricket player as he is slow.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Yeah maybe Sheringham would have been a better Cricket player as he is slow.

He's also about a hundred years old

 

[Lokki 7]

Shearer was crap at cricket otherwise he'd have taken it up after his first ligament injury.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I'm all for giving young players a chance but the early signs are not encouraging.

Gatting makes Scott Ramsay look like Ronaldinho.

How about we leave the KID alone.

A-f***ing-men, well said.
