Bimpy474 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Well Darlow or Woodman whoever it is should be seeing this as their moment, their chance to keep us up. A players injury is anothers opportunity to become a hero for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 He's let a couple of easy goals but otherwise Elliott has been very reliable this season. Let's not kid ourselves - he'll be a big miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 He'll only be a big miss if every Darlow game is like that WBA game, but I severely doubt that'll be the case. He'll probably be just as mediocre as Elliot in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Relegation won't hinge on a Rob Elliot injury ffs. He's had a solid, 6/10 season but nothing more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll probably be just as mediocre as Elliot in the long run. Absolutely, the best thing from a club's perspective is that this run of games for Elliot has put a price on his head, some silly club may give us a million or two for what is in essence just an average championship standard GK, he's just had more chances to excel at Newcastle because of the atrocious way we defend. It's more worrying that we aren't developing the likes of Darlow or even Woodman, players that may have some future at the club. If Elliot was our future number 1 then our recruitment was worse than I thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatwax Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Darlow in goal until the end of the season, currently in the relegation zone and only 8 games left you say? http://49.media.tumblr.com/8c5500274d92429efd47c07ddecc15c2/tumblr_mjijuo86Pg1qh1g19o1_500.gif Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Blob has been s****. Doesn't command his box, doesn't come off his line, slow, awful at one on ones. One of the many reasons we are in the s****. Don't be fooled by good shot stopping, that is a basic at this level. Whilst I wouldn't be quite so harsh. I kind of agree with this. The last line in particular, is spot on IMO. I often hear people saying "yeah, well he's a great shot stopper." I mean FFS, you're not going to be a pro keeper, if you've got really good distribution and you command your box. But you let in shots all the while, as you can't dive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'm firmly in the this is the nail in the coffin camp. Darlow was really bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPL Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How come it feels when we have a goalkeeper crisis, we don't seem to have the emergency loan option? Yet I'm convinced, when it happens to the bigger teams, they seem to have the emergency loan option granted. E.g. Man City had Taylor and Given injured but still had at least 1 goalkeeper fit http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_city/8644269.stm Yes we have 2 goalkeepers fit but it was more aimed at towards last season when we only had Jak Alwnick in goal and we all knew how that ended up. Let's hope Darlow can step up to the plate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Elliot has been excellent this season, mediocre ffs. I'm not saying I like him, nor am I saying he's a great keeper but this season he's been superb and far out performed expectations. He will be a huge miss. One save might be the difference for us, in the same way that one goal might be. It shouldn't be this way but that's where we find ourselves. From what I've seen, he's a better keeper than Krul, who can barely kick a ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I'd say Petr Cech has generally been excellent this season. Would you say Elliot has really been as good? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He's made some decent saves, but then every PL keeper is capable of making some saves that look good. He's still made a fair few errors in my opinion, so I don't think this is quite the loss it is being made out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He hasn't been excellent at all, he's played quite well and been better than the disaster we expected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He is a better a kicker than Krul, I'll give him that. He's still absolutely terrible at it though Aye, compared with most other keepers I'd usually say the improvement in his kicking was a complete myth but Krul would genuinely hoof the ball out of play 4-5 times a game.
