The problem is that the place for this ambush was no pre-planned
Um, yes it was.They had not known where—or if—the gholam would attack him, but Guybon had done his job well, getting everyone out of the nearby buildings, then picking a hallway that the Kinswoman would make the gateway into. He'd sent a member of the Band to tell Talmanes where to go.
Er... That means that Guybon had been tracking Mat and quickly picked and prepared a place for the gateway while the attack was happening. That is not enough time to learn a place for a gateway (even holding the power).
