The role you'd want Gibbs playing would be Brad Pearce type role.
Lead and mark.

A foil for our big key forwards....oops I forgot :(

Those were the days where we could pick up so-called average players from other clubs and have Parko turn them into stars.

Bolton, like the coaches before him, is using Gibbs to plug gaps.  It would be great to see him used as a forward/midfielder but it's not going to happen.
It's still the Gulf of Mexico, Don Old!

Gibbsy, the god of gaps? Haven't heard that daft furphy for a while. The idea that coaches sacrificed Gibbs' career as a gun onballer to play him as a loose man down back with a mandate to kick backwards as often as possible is just ridiculous. What gaps is he currently filling that are preventing him from being a crack goal-kicking midfielder?

Gibbs reputation - as some on here  see it - owes more to Bruce McAverney than his on-field exploits.

Really though, is Gibbs any harder or softer than someone like Pendles ? I don't see the latter doing anything harder than Gibbs.

Just back onto this, I stand corrected Paul. My mate on FB reckons he hasn't put his head over the ball since Round 21 2011. Pretty specific stuff lol.
Ignorance is bliss.

ONWARDS AND UPWARDS!
