What’s everyone’s early impression of our new captain?
I was made up when he signed as he came with rave reviews from Gills fans & always looked like a classy operator for them over the years, but for me he’s been the least convincing of our three main CBs so far (Ehmer-Baldwin-Harries).
Feels to me like he always has a clumsy error in him & looks by far the least comfortable CB we have on the ball (which isn’t ideal for how BG wants us to play...).
I’m sure there’s more to come from him & I’ve no doubt he’ll improve as the season goes on, but I’m a bit underwhelmed with him so far.
Am I being harsh?

I don’t think that’s too harsh. Expectations were very high (with me anyway) - not a disaster but just not quite lived up to them yet. I’m sure there’s better to come.

Sadly not, just hope he's taking his time finding his feet, he's got a tough week coming up with Shrewsbury & Accrington away games coming up, problem is Kigour was performing even worse before he was dropped.

Solid but unspectacular, he seems a bit flat footed and I've noticed he gives a way a fair few fouls but in truth he hasn't done too much wrong apart from his error against Ipswich. Hopefully he's just settling in and will get better.

Hopefully he's just settling in and will get better. Definitely gives away too many cheap free kicks for my liking. As you say, hopefully he's just settling in and will get better.

I think he is doing fine nothing special just solid defending. I just think Baldwin and Harries have been excellent the last 3 games and are better bringing the ball out and passing. I think Kilgour won't be playing that much this season only cup and the odd game to rest a player,unless one of the 3 picks up an injury.

He’s got a good record in this league so I think he’s a good League 1 CH. Harries and Baldwin look better ball-playing CHs and Ehmer more or a stopper, but we need that as well, just a shame he didn’t launch the ball into block A of the Dribuild yesterday. But I think he’ll get better and prove a good player for us. I’d also like him to be more vocal and do a bit of shouting at our relatively inexperienced midfield, in a positive way of course! We need leaders on the field. UTG!

He’s looked better with Baldwin and Harries than in any other combination and like much of our team he’s got better as the season has gone on. Familiarity in football terms can lead to a better understanding rather than contempt and I’m hoping they’ll get a much better understanding over the coming months.

thought Harries was poor yesterday, gave the ball away a lot.

thought Harries was poor yesterday, gave the ball away a lot. Defensively he was excellent I think the way Burton set up didn't allow us to play out and through midfield. I see alot have criticised Westbrooke but he had the same problems Burton were stopping the balls out towards the flanks which led to quite a few sideways and backward passes which then the centre backs went direct. I give quite a bit of credit they certainly done there homework and tried to frustrate us.

I actually don’t mind that as at least he was trying to play out from the back. ehmer a lot of the time was hitting it long and wide to hanlon who was then out of position to receive the ball, and once he had it had no-one to aim for. but in fairness to the defence, I didn’t think Grant and tutonda weren’t requesting the ball enough meaning less outlets to play out. everythijg was going through westbrooke really.

Been reasonable so far, goes about his defensive duties well but as people have said, he's very liable to give away a cheap free kick.
Though it's a good problem to have, I fear for Alfie Kilgour's playing time if I'm honest. With Harries as our undisputed left centre back, Ehmer as the club captain and Baldwin in good form, I can't see Alf getting many minutes aside from the EFL Trophy and occasional midweek game.

Ehmer is solid in my opinion, gives away fouls but he is not a fairy fluff player and is good at proper man's defending. It seems he is often played slightly out of position, I think he should be at the center of the back three.

Have to say I've been underwhelmed so far - like you I had very high hopes.
That said, he's only played what - 5 games - competitively for his new club. As such he does deserve a fair bit of time yet and I'd be hopeful there's every chance he'll turn in to the player (or at least closer to the player) we thought we were signing.

Needs to display the leadership qualities we bought him for. Kilgour seems out of favour what do we think about him at the moment?

It will soon be easier to count the number of players who haven’t been scapegoated this season than those that have.

I dont think your being harsh, I've actually thought the same myself. Still think there's more to come from him but he doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence
