Danny Gabbidon (Defender)

Danny Gabbidon
CwmbranPosition: Defender
Born: 8th Aug 1979 (Cwmbran)
Signed: 5th Jul 2005 (£2,000,000)
Contract: 4 years (signed August 2007)
Previous Club: Cardiff
KUMB Awards: Player of the Year 2005/06; Best Signing (runner up) 2005/06
Welsh international Gabbidon proved an instant success at West Ham; over 50% of voters chose him as the club's best performer for the first half of the 05/06 season in a KUMB poll.
A ??2m signing, Gabbidon would probably fetch a far more significent figure than that were he to depart East London now, such an impression has he made since joining from Cardiff in the summer of 2005.

Sunderland
0-3: Sunday, 22nd MayGuilty of being as anonymous as an 'unnamed Premier League footballer' for the second goal when he backed away from Sessegnon rather than getting a block in.
Blackburn Rovers
1-1: Saturday, 7th MayShowed composure on the ball but ran out of ideas for distribution as the game progressed – the lack of quality movement in front of him had much to do with that.
Chelsea
0-3: Saturday, 23rd AprilA good performance save for the last five minutes. He coped well with Strikers worth almost £100million combined.
Manchester City
1-2: Saturday, 23rd AprilNot a bad game, he dealt with Johnson quite well. Did well for an out-of-position player.
Aston Villa
1-2: Saturday, 16th April(Replaced Da Costa, 14 mins) Another who looked like he’d rather have been anywhere else.
Bolton Wanderers
0-3: Saturday, 9th AprilDid not play.
Tottenham Hotspur

Stoke City
1-2: Sunday, 13th MarchDid not play.
Stoke City
3-0: Saturday, 5th March(Replaced Parker, 90+2 mins) Didn’t put a foot wrong in the, er, 20 seconds or so between his arrival and the final whistle.
Blackpool
3-1: Wednesday, 2nd FebruaryLooked a little out of sorts before the hamstring did for him.
Nottingham Forest
3-2: Sunday, 30th JanuaryAppalling in the first half – his control was all over the shop. Much, much better in the second half.
Birmingham City
1-3: Wednesday, 26th JanuaryDid not play.
Everton

Wolverhampton Wanderers
2-0: Saturday, 1st JanuaryOk, but there were a few occasions when he got forward where he delayed getting the ball over when we had players in the box.

Wigan Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 27th NovemberDecent enough up to the point that Wigan switched N'Zogbia over to his side whereupon Cleverley and Insomnia combined to give him a hard time – witness his lunge for the penalty.
Liverpool

Blackpool
0-0: Saturday, 13th NovemberSeemed to lack a bit of urgency for some reason – didn't seem tight enough to his man on occasion.

Arsenal
0-1: Saturday, 30th OctoberFine performance marred only by his little nap etc etc.
Newcastle United
1-2: Saturday, 23rd OctoberGot dragged out wide for the winner. Which wouldn't have been so bad had he actually done something to block the cross.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
1-1: Saturday, 16th OctoberGot nowhere near Doyle, allowing him to hold up the ball and set up Wolves in our half; a masterclass in how not to handle a lone striker.
Fulham
1-1: Saturday, 2nd OctoberBeginning to settle in nicely at left-back. Unlucky to be booked for a nothing challenge.
Tottenham Hotspur
1-0: Sunday, 26th SeptemberKept Lennon very quiet with the exception of the one run that ultimately produced Green's wonder save. One might think he'd let him past deliberately so that Green could show off!

Stoke City
1-1: Saturday, 18th SeptemberSurprisingly, a good game playing out of position. He looked solid and stood up well to whatever Stoke threw at him. Just a shame he decided to announce on Twitter 24 hours before the game today that he would be playing left back.
Manchester United
0-3: Saturday, 28th AugustIt's easy to forget how good he used be. Some excellent challenges; welcome back!

Everton
2-2: Thursday, 1st April(Replaced Stanislas, 90+4 mins) Barely warmed up but his introduction wasted a few valuable seconds deep into injury time.

Manchester United
0-4: Saturday, 5th DecemberGot one superb tackle in late on. Unfortunately his indecision cost us at least one goal and his failure to block a cross arguably cost us another.
Burnley
5-3: Saturday, 28th NovemberRecovered from a shaky start to look ok for much of the game – until Burnley went with two up front.

Sunderland
2-2: Saturday, 31st OctoberDid not play.
Liverpool
2-3: Saturday, 19th September(Replaced Upson, 25 mins) A bit off the pace – understandably so under the circumstances.
Wigan Athletic
0-1: Saturday, 12th SeptemberLooked a bit out of position for the goal and, whilst he is no stranger to the left back spot, I’ll be a bit happier when Cheri returns.
Blackburn Rovers
0-0: Saturday, 29th AugustDid not play.
Millwall

Beijing Guoan
2-0: Friday, 31st JulyNice to see him back and a well taken goal to boot.
Danny Gabbidon did not play for West Ham during this season.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 1st DecemberOutstanding. The partnership with Upson is coming along nicely and he seems to have put the nightmare of last season, when he never got into his stride following an injury lay-off, well behind him.
Tottenham Hotspur
1-1: Saturday, 24th NovemberFairly strong but there were a couple of lapses down by the corner flag late on.
Derby County
5-0: Saturday, 10th NovemberWill take a lot of confidence from a decent run-out in which he easily snuffed out the early threat from the home side.

Bolton Wanderers
1-1: Sunday, 4th NovemberNot really at the races today, and was lucky to see Davies' header clip the bar when he temporarily fell asleep.
Coventry City
2-1: Tuesday, 30th October(replaced Ferdinand, 85) Did enough to keep City at bay.
Aston Villa
0-1: Saturday, 6th OctoberPlayed very well up until the goal. Maybe Collins would be a better choice for Sunderland in a couple of weeks.
Aston Villa
0-1: Saturday, 6th OctoberHis first start of the season, looked a little ring-rusty.
Arsenal
0-1: Friday, 28th September(replaced Ferdinand, 48) Produced a great tackle when one-on-one. Some good headers.

Fulham
3-3: Saturday, 13th JanuaryJust when Danny returns for a couple of games, he gets injured. I still think he’s vital to this League battle; off the pitch his impact could be greater than when he plays.
Fulham
3-3: Saturday, 13th JanuaryA good game, yet these injuries are so frustrating.
Fulham

Brighton & Hove Albion
3-0: Saturday, 6th JanuaryBest display since his return from injury on Boxing Day. His form is paramount to the survival struggle which has to kick off against Fulham next week.
Brighton & Hove Albion
3-0: Saturday, 6th JanuarySolid and comfortable in what might be a useful confidence-builder before more sterner tests to come.
Portsmouth
1-2: Tuesday, 26th DecemberRusty, and a little casual.
Sheffield United
1-0: Saturday, 25th NovemberWas playing well up to his untimely finish. Hopefully his hamstring problem isn’t as bad as it looks.

Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberMuch better from the Gabbidon of a few weeks back. Very secure, and did not deserve to be punished for a tame free-kick.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberAnother one who is improving after not the best of starts. Shouldn’t have sneezed so close to Drogba though – well there has to be some reason why he went down so easily.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberAnother solid performace, last year's POTY is rapidly finding his form.
Chelsea
0-1: Saturday, 18th NovemberFoul on Drogba aside, Gabbidon continued to maintain his recent revival.
Arsenal
1-0: Monday, 6th NovemberBar one moment where he switched off almost allowing Arsenal to score the Welsh centre-half was back to his very best. He made several crucial tackles when Arsenal threatened to push on and open the scoring.
Arsenal
1-0: Monday, 6th NovemberThe manager described his performance as “awesome” and it’s hard to argue with that. Took charge once Ferdinand had left through injury and the timing of some of his challenges was breathtaking. Outstanding.
Blackburn Rovers
2-1: Sunday, 29th OctoberA massive improvement on last Tuesday night although he will face a lot better in the weeks and months to come.
Chesterfield
1-2: Tuesday, 24th OctoberVery poor. Such a disappointment after looking good against Tottenham in the previous game.
Chesterfield
1-2: Tuesday, 24th OctoberSimply shocking. The Player of the Year hoodoo appears to have kicked in once again.
Tottenham Hotspur
0-1: Sunday, 22nd OctoberBack to the Gabbidon of best perhaps?
Tottenham Hotspur
0-1: Sunday, 22nd OctoberThe timing of the challenge on Keane was superb. A bit more solid than of late.
Portsmouth
0-2: Sunday, 15th OctoberNot really troubled but his touch looked a bit dodgy on occasion.
Portsmouth
0-2: Sunday, 15th OctoberLooked very average. A microcosm of what has gone wrong in this side.
Reading
0-1: Sunday, 1st OctoberDid everything he was asked to do.
Reading
0-1: Sunday, 1st OctoberHis best showing of the season so far. Gabbs kept the dangerous Leroy Lita in his pocket although again, once Reading had taken the lead they rarely threatened to add a second as they chose to concentrate on their defensive duties.
Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 23rd SeptemberReasonable.
Manchester City
0-2: Saturday, 23rd SeptemberOk, but missed Ferdinand more than any other player.

Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberRecent improvements in his form as his match fitness has improved just went out of the window. A complete mare for the second goal.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberAfter showing signs of improvement, Gabbidon looked unsettled again. Awful error for the second goal.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberAnother dreadful error that led to the second goal, Gabbs is another woefully out of sorts right now. James Collins must be a close call for Man City.
Newcastle United
0-2: Sunday, 17th SeptemberWhat has happened here? A shocking mistake. I would not mind seeing James Collins drafted in against Man City. I rate Gabbidon as our best defender but he has been below average so far. Perhaps his lack of a pre season has hindered him.
Palermo
0-1: Thursday, 14th SeptemberAnother solid display from the Welshman, showing what a class act he is.
Palermo
0-1: Thursday, 14th SeptemberBack to something approaching his form of last season. Looked cool and calm throughout.

Aston Villa
1-1: Sunday, 10th SeptemberMan of the match for me, solid and secure in the heart of the back four.
Aston Villa
1-1: Sunday, 10th SeptemberFinished well but the start caused the premature birth of whole litters of kittens in E13. Corners were a particular worry.
Liverpool
1-2: Saturday, 26th AugustFinally showing the form of last season, and this was needed on a busy afternoon for the back four.
Liverpool
1-2: Saturday, 26th AugustBest run out of the season so far as the match fitness returns. Not back to his best by any means but encouraging signs that he’s getting there.
Watford
1-1: Tuesday, 22nd AugustHad an injury-interrupted pre-season and doesn’t seem to have quite got match fit yet. In particular his anticipation seems to be a little off at the moment. A few more games and he’ll be fine. Hopefully.
Watford
1-1: Tuesday, 22nd AugustDanny missed the entire pre-season calender this year, and it shows. He looks a long way from the player we saw last year at present, and his fitness is clearly lacking. Rightly replaced when Pardew changed to a 4-4-2 formation midway through the second period.

Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustGave away a needless penalty, nearly presented Charlton with a chance to go two up. Second half was more reassuring - but the opposition threat was non-existant.
Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustRecovered from a shaky start but really shouldn’t have been waving his arm anywhere near the ball irrespective of whether or not he made contact.
Charlton Athletic
3-1: Saturday, 19th AugustOn another day he might have seen red for the handbasll which led to Charlton's penalty. As per last week against Olympiakos, he struggled to come to terms with the pace of the game.
Olympiakos
1-1: Saturday, 12th August(Replaced Ferdinand, 45) Not the best of starts, Gabbs looked like a man who hasn't played for a while. Which, of course, he hadn't.
Liverpool
3-3: Saturday, 13th MayNo further comments.
Liverpool
3-3: Saturday, 13th MayOne or two vital interceptions although he was guilty of playing Cisse onside for Liverpool's first goal. West Ham's player of the Year - and rightly so.
Tottenham Hotspur
2-1: Sunday, 7th MayGot my vote for HOTY and Kept Keane fairly quiet.
Middlesbrough
1-0: Sunday, 23rd AprilAnother good battling performance. Stuck close to his man and restricted Boro’ to efforts from distance.

Manchester City
1-0: Saturday, 15th AprilRemained firm throughout despite being on the end of a number of strange decisions from ref Bennett. One heart in mouth moment as he misjudged the bounce of a long ball.
Manchester City
1-0: Saturday, 15th AprilVery imprressive, our best defender on the day.
Manchester City
1-0: Saturday, 15th AprilVery imprressive, our best defender on the day.
Chelsea
1-4: Sunday, 9th AprilLooked good for most of the match but showed an uncharacteristic hesitancy at set pieces which ultimately proved costly.
Chelsea
1-4: Sunday, 9th AprilProbably his worst performance of the season. Should have done better with Drogba's shot for the first goal - and was at fault again for the second, giving away possession far too cheaply.
Charlton Athletic
0-0: Sunday, 2nd AprilThere must be any number of Premiership sides kicking themselves for not nicking him off Cardiff. Tough. Another near faultless performance.

2-1: Wednesday, 15th MarchWhere would we be without him?
Bolton Wanderers
2-1: Wednesday, 15th MarchAnother superb performance from West Ham's Mr.Consistent; he was always on hand when it mattered.
Bolton Wanderers
1-4: Saturday, 11th MarchIn general play he looked solid and wasn’t at fault for any of the goals. The question is who’s the blame for the fact that we looked completely inept at defending the Bolton set-pieces? Going into the game, we know that their strength is in their midfield and at set-pieces and we seem to be trying to cover their strengths as presumably that’s what the two defensive midfielders were for. But what about their set pieces? Even though Gabbidon is the senior player at the back, I don’t think it's his responsibility? Where’s that guy they just named the Manager of the Month? But in all seriousness, it is a coaching and management issue.
Everton
2-2: Saturday, 4th MarchBit of an “oops” for the second equaliser, though his clearing header at the death redeemed him a bit.
Everton
2-2: Saturday, 4th MarchStruggled well.
Bolton Wanderers
0-0: Saturday, 18th FebruaryIt seems a touch pointless compiling comments for Gabbidon as the word 'flawless' generally suffices. As it does again today.
Birmingham City
3-0: Monday, 13th FebruaryRemember when Chris Sutton scored goals in a Premiership–winning side? Gabbidon wouldn’t have had any problem with him then so the seemingly past-it wearer of Birmingham’s coveted no.40 shirt was certainly no problem for the Gabster.
Birmingham City
3-0: Monday, 13th FebruaryQuite simply didn't put a foot wrong and had Chris Sutton in his pocket all night.
Sunderland
2-0: Saturday, 4th FebruaryDealt with what little Sunderland produced in his usual accomplished style.

2-1: Saturday, 14th JanuaryOutstanding. The fact that the recent dry run occurred whilst he was absent through injury is definitely no coincidence.

1-0: Saturday, 5th NovemberNothing much seems to faze this guy. When the opposition plays the ball on the floor he’s comfortable. When they throw it up in the air he’s equally happy. Excellent match.

Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 23rd OctoberLooks to be enjoying every minute in the premiership. Even the introduction of Hasselbaink and the fat Aussie Viduka didn’t worry him.
Middlesbrough
2-1: Sunday, 23rd OctoberShielded the ball well but misjudged a few passes.
Manchester City
1-2: Sunday, 16th OctoberGot stuck in well at the back in his usual dependable manner but got caught out a little for the second goal where he inadvertently set up Cole.
Manchester City
1-2: Sunday, 16th OctoberMade some decent interceptions and tackles but seemed to lack a little understanding with his team mates. Left horribly stranded by Repka for the first City goal and unable to stop the second despite a valiant attempt.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberThe only defender to really seem comfortable on the night. Just as well given that his colleagues weren’t at the races.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberWhat some might consider most worrying about the performance of our four defenders was it came against perhaps the league’s poorest forward line. Maybe they brought us down to their level. Either way, it wasn’t an easy day, on what looked to be our summer singing’s strongest physical test thus far, for Gabbers. Booked just before half-time.
Sunderland
1-1: Saturday, 1st OctoberHmmm ... whilst he was probably the pick of the bunch at the back today it wasn't the greatest or most confident performance we've seen from the Welsh centre-half. Troubled by pace, he looked uneasy with players running at him and once or twice gave away dangerous free-kicks on or around the perimeter of the box. We'll see much better from him this season.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberAlan Pardew said at the start of the season that he expects Gabbidon to be in the running for Hammer of the Year come next May - and it was clear to see why going by today's performance. Yet to put a foot wrong since making the move to East London.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberThe other half of our centre back pairing mirrored Anton in not putting a foot wrong all game. There is a refreshing no-nonsense attitude to his play that compliments Anton’s slightly smoother style. For someone making his debut in the Premiership this year, he couldn’t look more at home.
Arsenal
0-0: Saturday, 24th SeptemberOn a day when there were a number of excellent performances at the back Gabbidon shaded it for the MOTM award for me. A lot of Premiership sides had a look at him at Cardiff and weren’t sure. Their loss!

Fulham
2-1: Saturday, 17th SeptemberExcellent performance – strong in the air and his late clearance off the line secured the points at the end.
Fulham
2-1: Saturday, 17th SeptemberCalm and assured, this Premiership lark is proving to be a breeze for the former Cardiff centre-half.
Aston Villa
4-0: Monday, 12th SeptemberDare we whisper it but we seem to have a genuine centre-half partnership on our hands here. Another strong game.
Bolton Wanderers
1-2: Saturday, 27th AugustFairly solid but there was the occasional concentration lapse. Needs to sit down and have a chat with Carroll.
