Just throwing this up for debate, but are we missing Gilmour and his get in amongst them attitude/style of play because as it currently stands our midfield is certainly being asked a lot of questions on and off the field.
Well, I guess Hinsh could have used a hand at the weekend but not sure if Wee Billy would have been the total answer.

No, we badly miss Pascal
We definitely do

I think it was common knowledge FH wanted Sir Pascal to stay. . . .
I don't think anyone begrudged his lordship a dream move in his twighlight years.

Our midfield is doing fine . . . . . What we miss most is his SLICE, straight through virtually anything . . . . The stats speak for themselves

no one comes close currently . . . .I think Hinshelwood would have benefitted massively from another year or two with him . . . FH could have learnt a lot as well.

Yes.

Not to eulogise WBG, He wasn't a world beater. He is, however, a fully competent midfielder, demonstrably capable of playing at this level.

Younger than Wieffer. Injury prone and/or a huddy. You decide.

Younger than O'Riley. Complete lightweight.

Yet both "need/deserve to be given time" . Apparently.

Physically more robust than either.

Not a spavined old hack/waste of a wage like Milner.

MotM performance in his last game for us.

We are fortunate this season that Baleba has developed/progressed to the extent he has.

I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Yes, a great player to have on your team.

Was never a good idea to let him go. Red flag IMHO (with the benefit of hindsight).

No.

I don’t remember the last time a player for us was as overrated as Gilmour. He ran about a bit and people wax lyrical about it. I don’t remember a single game he won for us through his actions alone, unlike the likes of Alexis and Pascal.

Decent player, nothing more.

No.
Too limited to be influential in the premier league.
Textbook championship-level footballer.

For a non-DM, his goals/assists stats were pants.
