I think less hot potato, and more what he used to playing for Chelsea
lots of one-twos, moving the ball quickly, forcing the opposition to chase the ball a lot.
Unfortunately, Gibson, Hanley, Rupp and Mclean don't play that way. They take a long time to get the ball under control and then often take several touches while deciding what to do next. I think we'd be a lot more dangerous in an attacking sense if they adjusted to Gilmour's style rather than he adapted to their slow paced build up.
