I agree he did look to control the defence well for them but did we really impose ourselves enough on them thus making him look good. I did though, like how he carried the ball out well and pushed his team upfield. Also he was always a threat in set pieces/corners.
Here is his time with Mansfield town. Reading between the lines even Nigel Clough thinks it's time to let him go.
On 12 January 2023, Kilgour signed for League Two club Mansfield Town for an undisclosed fee on an eight.een-month contract, bringing his sevent.een year association with Bristol Rovers to an end. Alfie scored on his full debut for Mansfield with a half volley from 16 yards which saw the Stags beat Doncaster Rovers 4-1 at Field Mill. His impressive start to life at Mansfield continued across the second half of the season, winning the club's player of the month award for three successive months between February and April 2023.
On 15 August 2023, Kilgour was stretchered off just sevent.een minutes into a 2–2 draw with Doncaster Rovers, revealed to be a ruptured achilles that would rule him out for the remainder of the season. In January 2024, he signed a new eight.een-month contract extension to keep him at the club until June 2025. On 5 October 2024, he made his return to playing, 418 days after suffering his injury. Having struggled for regular first-team playing time following his return, manager Nigel Clough admitted that a loan move would have been ideal following the closing of the January transfer window.
Kilgour was released upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.
Just about sums up he's no longer up to League 1 football.....so it's a no from us.
