Wisdom has had two really solid performances in the last week, its unfortunate for him that the Liverpool game has come around just as he has started to show form but I believe Gamboa will be our first choice RB in the months to come.

Will he start on Saturday or will Baird get the nod?

As Baird is only just come back to training from an illness, I very much doubt he will be considered.

One thing I do like about AI's team selections has been that every player needs to 100% fit and ready before they get a start...

I think his done well in the last two games and formed a solid defence with the other players, his attacking was also improved against Burnley, the plus side of him being out is we get a proper look at Gamboa against a top team. This can only be good for the squad. If he plays well I agree I think he will keep his spot for a couple of games at least.

Irvine has already stated on the offical site that Gamboa will start. Good news

He also says he will not restrain him, he wants him to do what he does best and attack! Positive words indeed and, looking at them last night, I don't think they'll relish the thought.

I thought sterling looked really jaded ast nioght, I can see Rogers resting him.
I suspect we will be facing Borini, Lallana and Lambert

Morany · « **Reply #382 on:** October 06, 2014, 08:58:29 AM »

Not had chance to watch the highlights/full game. How did Gamboa get on?

BaggiesFacts · « **Reply #383 on:** October 06, 2014, 09:38:26 AM »

Linked up well going forward, had one run in the first half where he left the whole Liverpool side for dead.

I think we're going to see plenty of assists similar to the one for Dorrans' goal against Burnley in the coming months.

Nice one thanks, I see most people still saying Wisdom as first choice moving forwards, Gamboa not so good defensively?

BaggiesFacts · « **Reply #385 on:** October 06, 2014, 09:52:54 AM »

You might find it'll be a horses for courses approach with Wisdom playing when we need to shape up more solidly, that's not to say Gamboa can't defend either though.

Would be interesting to see Wisdom as a right sided centre-half in 5-3-2 formation with Gamboa playing wing back.

smethwickw · « **Reply #386 on:** October 06, 2014, 01:12:35 PM »

I see no reason why Gamboa can't be used wide right of a 5 man midfield. We are crying out for pace and width further up field.

Sounds bad

I do like wisdom though can see a decent footballer in there.

Dexy · « **Reply #390 on:** October 14, 2014, 04:49:52 PM »

Fingers crossed , players do get stretchered off for lesser things these days.

Adamstv · « **Reply #391 on:** October 14, 2014, 04:58:06 PM »

According to a website he was substituted at 84 minutes. Nothing said about a stretcher but who knows

Chipperfan · « **Reply #392 on:** October 14, 2014, 04:59:07 PM »

No mention of it on his Twitter feed, just a pic of him and the team looking chuffed with being undefeated.

Just checked Nigel Adderley's Twitter too. Can't actually see any mention of Gamboa on there either.

Perhaps he was mistaken and took the tweet down.

Either way, I wouldn't get too worried until the club say something.

No mention of Gamboa being injured in the wrap up of International games on the Albion site.

KnaveofAlbion · « **Reply #395 on:** October 15, 2014, 03:17:08 PM »

I just asked him if he was injured, because we were hearing he was.... This is his reply.

@Cris_GamboaCR Albion fans are hearing you are injured? Are you? Hope you're good, looking forward to seeing you kill Man Utd!!

Cristian Gamboa â€@Cris_GamboaCR 4m
@KnaveofAlbion no i am ok mate , i will ready for Man Utd !! ðŸ‘ cheers

So that's that. He's ok, on a side note, god bless the internet and Gamboa seems cool. Interaction with the fans is a big plus for me.

Quakes Fan · « **Reply #396 on:** October 15, 2014, 03:20:32 PM »

He was stretchered off in los Ticos' game against the Netherlands at the World Cup. Maybe that tweet got stuck in a time warp.

Morany · « **Reply #397 on:** January 05, 2015, 04:23:08 PM »

Anyone think his time could be up already here ?

I for one really hope not and hoping he gets a look in under Pulis but I just can't see it. Could potentially be utilised on the wing, although by his own admissions he doesn't like playing there.

Got an assist today for what it's worth. Hope Pulis gives him a chance, very exciting player
