He's 6ft so quite tall for a winger

19 year old forward yet to gain any league experience. Bit of a strange signing tbh but Garner must see something in him

Concludes our business for the transfer window. So, it’s the closest to a striker we’re going to get.
Hopefully he’ll be more successful here than the previous 2 loanees from Brentford.

hmmm.
if that's all then it's a lot better of a team than I hoped for.
but it's also frustrating to be so close to a promotion challenging team, a striker away
(yes. obviously imo)
still, if whoever we wanted fell through, and nobody was available then what can be done

Not sure he is exactly what we need.
I guess he adds depth.
Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose.

We can still sign free agents. |

Breaking into a top championship team last season is a million miles away from being a decent league 2 player if given the opportunity! |

If we have been after him for 4 weeks then the 2 Ben’s are clearly seeing something promising in him and hopefully something different to what we have already

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Doesn’t fit the profile of what Garner said we’d be after so there’s a striker somewhere else we were targeting. Hope he works out. My expectations have been managed by today.

I can’t see that he was the player they were watching as he was described as a player who’d played abroad. Whoever it was it didn’t happen. Gilbert is mainly a left winger so has been bought in as back up I assume |

I would have liked an experienced striker in this window. The Ben's have obviously liked what they see in Gilbert so let's see what he adds to the team
