craig 5,199 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Gilks for me,he is less likely to try fancy footwork and has a better eye for a quick out ball. Sorry but I just can't agreee that gilks has "a better eye for a quick outball". He's been caught with the ball at his feet on a number of occasions in his very few appearances this far. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,429 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) From what I've seen Gilks isn't as good a keeper. If MW does think that they are equally as good then fair enough, but I'm sure he feels one is better and if that's the case then he should play the better player.Should we also drop Wallace for Hodson? I don't think Hodson would let us down tbh!,but again that's why I couldn't be a manager!,tough calls to be made. However I don't think playing Gilks before Wes will define the result!.

MacK1950 2,234 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 When talking about a quick outball I was meaning his throwing techniques which gets things moving more quickly than Wes's slow footwork and did say that his footwork was not as good. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 He's going to go Wes and LW but I wouldn't be disappointed if he never as both should be good enough to come in 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jaws 570 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Sorry but I just can't agreee that gilks has "a better eye for a quick outball". He's been caught with the ball at his feet on a number of occasions in his very few appearances this far. Sorry could you refresh my memory of what game/s that this happened in because I simply cant remember a single occasion where I thought... oh this could be dicey when Gilks was in goal. In fact I'd even go as far as to say at no time when he has been in goal have I ever had a thought that he didn't have the situation calmly under control. Wes played against Motherwell and Stranraer in the LC. Gilks has played in the other 4 and apart from the Burnley game hasn't let a single shot/cross go past him. As far as I'm concerned he may not be as good a shot stopper as Wes but he definitely commands his box better and that to me makes him the better keeper. I wouldn't hesitate to play him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters he had one VERY dicey moment in the pre-season friendly against cjarleston Battery that I can remember off the top of my head. Had ample time with ball at feet and deliberated for far too long, allowing the striker to hallenge him and almost steal the ball off his toe, with gilks hurrying the clearance and the striker getting a touch on it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 PS : Don't get me wrong, I like Gilks as a keeper but just couldn't agree about the "quicker eye for an outball" - though take Mack's assertion about speed of thought rather than speed of action. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotjo 19 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I would stick with Foderingham and I think that is what he'll do. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waltersgotstyle 297 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 You have to go with Foderingham.
