He epitomises everything I am beginning to despise about football and footballers.

Me too, but Steve Bruce saw him as a tool in the box today.

In fairness his arrival stifled them when they were in control. In that respect it was a smart sub.

I see him as a tool everywhere.

Good point. As it was at the scumboid stye he was booed anyway.
So who knows?
SB wouldn't have reintroduced him at a home game.

Decent percentage of you are treating him like he killed someone. Football is a fickle game, he could score 5/6 goals and nod in the winner in the play off final and he'd be the hero again. Everybody deserves another chance, the bloke has scored 84 goals for us

He's treated the club you and I love with contempt, he's got a lot to do to make it up.

Will always have a soft spot for Gabby to be fair. Obviously he's been an absolute let down the last couple of seasons but it'd be good to see him back to some sort of form.

Absolutely. The hatred on here for him is laughable. I hope he gets himself match fit and then terrorises Championship defences because we need him.


There is absolutely NO chance of that happening.

Was probably our best player when he came on and helped give us a bit of momentum. Bruce likes him and is going to use him so we should get used to it. Hopefully he repays the faith and tries to make it up to the fans.

Chant of fast as fcuk before the game and think he got applause from the away end when he came on so surprisingly positive although think that was just down to who the opposition was.

His part in our demise won't be forgotten but if he can play a role in our comeback, so be it. If he does go on to prove his worth, I would hope the club would be very careful about giving him a new contract though.

Yep.  I don't need to like players.  If they can contribute and the manager wants to use them then so be it.

I think there is a bit of forward thinking in relation to the African Cup in January when we might possibly be without Kodjia, Ayew and Gestede.  If Gabby can perform for that month so that we do not have to spend money on another striker just for covering one month, then so be it.
