My thoughts on Gumbleton have been fairly consistent through-out and I still hold them.
A) Injuries have meant that he has not produced what we expected/needed from a top 2 pick
B) Irrespective of whether or not he now turns it around, he has lost 6 years of development that others around him have had
C) I don't see how Gumbleton fits long term with Hurley, Crameri and JD coming through
D) I thought Gumbleton has always shown glimpses however never to the level or consistency I would expect from pick 2.
E) I think Gumbleton is seriously over-hyped on this board.
I'm happy to stand by my opinions eth-dog and put them in black and white WHILST also respecting the views of those around me. However it shows how desperate you are in your dogged defence of Melksham that you would introduce my views on another 50/50 player as evidence.
As a side note, I have seen Gumby play 2 nice games this year and the others were average to below average. Gumby still struggles for long periods in games and looks terrible below his knees. That is not to say I don't think he has some excellent qualities and I am hoping he gets an extended run at it. I had NO problem eating humble pie and congratulating Gumby on his performances earlier this year. It's a shame you don't bother to actually read or engage in reality.
