Dwight Gayle (now playing for Hibernian)


Recommended Posts

Could do something with Styx' Come Sail Away chorus

 

Dwight Gayle away,

Dwight Gayle away,

Dwight Gayle away with me!

I'd feel very sorry for Cartman if that became a thing, mind.

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime,

Gayle, I want to be with you all of the time.

The only time I feel alright, you're in the side.

Gayle, I want to be with you all of the time.

All day, and all of the night.

All day, and all of the night.

All day, and all of the night.

 

Sure a Dwight could be fit into the last night somehow but that's something I could imagine catching on just because it's easy to sing like the Ritchie one.

For the last 3 lines there "Dwight Gayle, he scores left and right"

My mate said we looked worse when he came on, said our play at the moment is suited to having a target man upfront.

We need to change our style of play, then. The long ball stuff has led to far fewer goals and far more draws.

If de jong was still functioning he would been a good player for us to play behind Gayle

 

I've heard Stephen Hawking is a canny centre mid. If he ever gets out of his chair he'd be a good player for us.

Not sure we can with Colback in the team, and Benitez isn't willing to try an alternative to him without Hayden available, which is quite vexing.

Kaka is right in thinking we have to play long ball stuff and sacrifice our best striker by a mile just because Jack Colback's in the team? You get thicker by the day, like, Ian.

 

Would you care to offer an explanation for our move to a more direct style?

He's right that Benitez won't consider an alternative to Colback, and he's right that Colback makes it harder to play better passing football. Sheesh.

It's either due to an injury to Gayle leaving Daryl Murphy as the best option up front, or getting the best/negating the worst out of Jack fucking Colback. Easy to be completely stumped as to which is more likely to provoke Rafa Benitez into changing the system, like.

Didn't we win loads of games in a row whenever Colback was in the side earlier in the season? It's very simplistic to say he's the only reason for the change in style

I think it's more to do with confidence of the side and how teams are setting up against us.

If Gayle was fully fit and up to speed there's absolutely no chance he'd have started on the bench.

 

I disagree with that, he was fit enough to start vs Fulham.  I think Rafa started Murphy as he suits the way in which we are playing at the moment.

Murphy's in better form than Gayle at the moment, regardless of the system.

 

Has the system really changed that much by the way since Murphy's come into the team? Shelvey still looks to hit it long for Gayle a lot of the time; the only difference I see is it goes over the top rather than at his head as it does for Murphy.

It's a bit harsh on Gayle to say Murphy is in better form than him when Gayle has averaged a goal a game or something like that all season

 

He was poor against Fulham (mainly because the whole team were terrible) but he did score against Huddersfield and not had much chance to build up form.
