Based on absolutely nothing, Sherwood may have though that this run of games up to the end of the season was too important to be integrating a new player and therefore has seen it as an opportunity to get Gil used to the club/players/language, indeed work on his core strength, as others mentioned, without the pressure of performing each week. By the summer he should be speaking with a brummie accent and ready to go.

By the summer he should be speaking with a brummie accent and ready to go.It's not the worst theory, and I'm certainly hoping for it. I reckon he'll be very important as security in case Grealish (knock on wood) gets a niggle or goes through some typical young-player growing pains; and to keep CNZ on his toes. If we can get into Europe, he should be very valuable to have there as well.
I think Cole is on the bench mostly for experience. He's had a couple of cameos when we've been up in games where he's come on and kept the ball well and just used his many years of experience to help us see out games. I don't think Gil could do that. Pre-season will be key. He'll adapt or he'll go and we'll always be left wondering. It's a shame because he looks immensely talented but for one reason or another he's not been able to break into the side. The Stoke game said a fair bit. He got bullied and retreated into his shell. By contrast you see Jack who's 12 years old and stands up to be counted. He gets knocked from pillar to post but never shies away from the ball or tries to evade a physical challenge. He's also really stepped up and become integral to how we're playing and he's influencing games so Gil has got his work cut out to get in the side. If Grealish gets injured I suspect Gil would get a chance because Cole isn't a 20 minute player.I know it's a mistake but you're probably right, he's blowing after ten.

Also having Jack, Charlie and Gil in the midfield is one to many of the same type of player. Should be on the bench though
I hope Carles gets a game against Burnley (fingers crossed he starts ahead of Jack so that Jack is fresh and injury free for Wembley). I really hope he has a great future at the club. If I was Carles I'd be feeling pretty down in the dumps and it would be a nice bit of man management for him to have a bit of a lift before next season. I miss the little fella.
Injured according to Sherwood.
