He seems to have got worse, which is most worrying... He wasn't this bad last season was he?! Such a shame :(
... is playing up front.
It is a frustrating position; you spend most of the game chasing shadows and lost causes, you get clumped by central defenders, called offside tons of times and get naff all protection from the ref.
His temperament is debatable at the the best of times and this is doing him no favours at all.
After his ban, I would bench him until an opportunity arises for him to play at the back on a regular basis. That is where he shone and that is where he perfoms best. Then I'd seek to offload him to the first interested party - and there will be one, because the guy is a terrific player.
But a striker he ain't.
Yep, was thinking along very similar lines. In defence Bilel can focus and play his natural game. His performance there against Burton was calm and composed and there was no hint of the sort of petulance we saw tonight. He simply has to be a centre-half only from now on.... is playing up front.

IF.... I'm sure more would have been made out of it from both ends if a player attempted to stab an opposition, clearly its not something that gets treated lightly. The bookings were harsh but he deserved to go, the ref couldn't wait to get him off the pitch. Needs some time out of the game to get his head clear in my opinion, so much talent but so little control.If this scissors story is true then i'm shocked the club have stood by him. He's lucky he's not inside, there's no place for nutters like that in society let alone our football club.
Get him out !
Not withstanding his antics, which even by his own standards were stupid, the sending off was harsh , Richards was lining the freekick up for a ball down the left channel , Moshni walked past the ball , how he was expected to get into a defensive position without being within 10 yards I cant fathom , and was walking away to Richrds right, Richrds then turned through at least 90 degrees and took the kick (which without Moshni there would have goon straight out of play having gone knowhere near another Gills player). I imagine the booking was for " Delaying the restart of play (includes deliberate time-wastingtactics)" Yet Richards actually kicked it sooner than he was going to because Moshni was there .
I was surprised that throughout the game no one was really talking to him, encouraging him, calming him down or generally mentoring him, I would have expected that from at least the captain, if not the other senior pro's. Which begs the question, did we have any leaders out there or have they got that p'd off with him that they can't be arsed ?
