does Gibson have an above average ability to play from deep?

His previous clubs weren't exactly known for it and he looked pretty shaky doing it against Leicester.
He looked fine last year, but then most Championship teams were scared of us and dropped off deep as soon as we got the ball rather than pressing high, thereby making it easy for us to play it out from the back. As we have seen so far, Prem teams are not scared to press high and are giving our defenders much less time and space to play it out.

        I think he is better than the players we have, Andy O has the potential to be better (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Sep 17, 15:52:31
        
        He looked very, very shaky on the ball v Liverpool too (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 17, 15:50:38
      - Imo, Big Andy is just as good on the ball as Gibson, if not better (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Sep 17, 15:43:15
        
        VMT. If we are going to drop Andy for Gibson... (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 17, 15:51:23
