I think with some footballers and competitors in team games, you can sometimes be a product of your environment. I don't think Gillesphey can hack it when he's in a shit team and his flaws are exposed. Compared to someone like Lloyd Jones or Ramsay who are so good they will still find a way to standout in a positive way.
Gillesphey is a complete system player and a very decent one. You can now see why Plymouth fans rated him in this league.
Stick him in a back 4 with an incompetent left back next to him and you'll see his worst, Sam Lavelle levels. Stick what is imo one of the best left backs in the league in Edwards near him, and have Lloyd Jones as his centre back partner, and you'll see all his qualities shine.
He will get a lot of respect from us when it's all said and done. Too many times the club have employed these types who go hiding, steal wages and disregard us. He's stepped up, adjusted to the environment and now he's a shoe in to start every week.
Slightly erratic, technically gifted left-sided centre back, initially given a lot of grief by fans after some ropey performances who has come through it, won the fans over and now he's even scored a free kick. He's finally gone full Naby.

Fantastic work Gillesphey 👍🏻
I totally agree, football is a team, no, squad game. Which is why I think as fans we are always way too quick to judge players when they come into the club.
MG is a good player at this level, I don’t think there’s any doubting that, but he needs a certain set up to thrive - and although you have individuals who can do well in bad squads they’re always going to better if squads play to their strengths as well.
Which is why the management, coaching and recruitment is so important.
And that’s without even going into the influence we don’t see behind the scenes towards the ‘culture’ etc.
It was a clever free-kick as I don't think the keeper expected Gillesphey to take it. I didn't expect him to. That may have contributed to him messing up the save.
He needs to put in a stupid-good tackle-assist combo, score a goal where he wanders into the box in open play and actually score a free kick before we start talking Naby levels of aura

Absolutely. For me it's the main reason why a lot of players do well before signing for Man U and thrive again after leaving. The whole environment there is a mess and it shows in many players performances.
Four goals and two assists in the league this season from 2,891 minutes on the pitch. We have three strikers on our books who, combined, have a total of three goals and three assists from 1,752 minutes. In fact, only Godden, Leaburn and Berry have been involved in more goals than he has in the league. And that's not his "day job".

Agree. From reading Gillesphey's quotes from Louis, he said to Berry he fancied it as opposed to just being the decoy. The set piece coach will be gutted as he was getting the credit but it was just a decision by Chuck and Macca while standing over the ball. 😃 Can you Adam and eve it 🤔
