The biggest compliment you can give him is that no one has called for Gillesphey to be returned to the starting 11. He's made that place completely his own
That's very true. Do feel a bit sorry though for Gillesphey...his play off heroics and his huge improvement last year...but his time will probably come.

Yeah, bang on.
Gillesphey had a storming 2nd half of the season last year and without his Wembley winner, maybe we wouldn't even be in this division now?
But he doesn't have the quick acceleration of Bell, so no surprises he's not 1st choice.
It's tough on Gillesphey though.
Same thing happened to him with the Plymouth Argyle promotion - bedrock of their promotion team, but their manager soon brought in a quicker player in the Championship.
Yeah I agree that he has been really good and has surprised me. He is improving with games and adapting to his new team. Just hope he can stay fit as he becoming very important for us.
If Gilley didn't have a slow start to the season (alongside most of the squad tbh) last season, I think he would have been in with a shout of POTY, he was possibly our most consistent performer over the second half of the season. Jones and Ramsay are flashier defenders, and forwards always catch the eye more than a defensive player, but his key goals and rock solid defending were the foundation of our promotion in the end.
