Same time as Lambert, wasn't it? And Westwood, I think.

Could a lack of self-respect could be a symptom or consequence of depression? Why not? I am no expert though so please don't bow.

Yes it is a symptom.

It's possible, but I'd imagine if it was the root cause of his dwindling input, the club would be aware and Gabby's situation would've been handled in a more sensitive way than pretty forthright tweets by Dr Xia.

[Bad English]

Don't worry! This depression idea was an ancient musing; I think he's a piss-taking c***.

[KevinGage]

Gabby still being as technically deficient as when he started out is on us.  In his earlier years he did seem keen to work, and perhaps Bibs n' Cones during the O'Neill era wasn't the best grounding to get in the game.

But Gabby eating his career away from about 2010 onwards is on him.

[Matt Collins]

I'd actually say he improved massively from the guy who first came through - who really did look brainless and devoid of much skill - to the guy who could lead the line by himself. It looked like he'd worked really hard

It all went wrong when mon left and gabby decided he needed to bulk up. He's had about ten good games since

[footyskillz]

Gabby must do better

[adrenachrome]

There is no comparison whatsoever between these two players, me old whingeybash, and I fear you may have lost the plot and should cease digging fortwith lest you disappear into the lower levels of the earth's crust and be fossilised.

Bruce has stated  gabby deserves his chance. He doesn't care about past and clean slate. The fans need to buy into this as much as gabby getting up to speed and assets .  Bruce said agbonlahor played 300 plus matches at prem league level and scores 80 off goals. -you cant discount  that.

[PeterWithesShin]

Alan Shearer scored hundreds, doesn't mean he'd contribute much if he played against Cardiff.

For what it's worth, what i've seen of Gabby since he came back has been better than I expected but it was a very low bar he has set over the last few years.

I honestly thought he was poor on Friday night, to me he has lost his one major asset and that is his pace

I think if Bruce can get another forward in, during the January window, then it will finally be the end of him at the Villa

[oldtimernow]

Straight comparison between GA and RHM...........no choice for me RHM every time

No it will not. That will be on the tenth of September 2018 when his contract expires.

Unless of course they give him an extension!

I would imagine that his contract will expire at the end of the 2017-2018 season and to be honest it can't come soon enough and we can all move on!
