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. Just wow. Let's be honest, your football commentary has been "just wow," for a long time. "Cringe worthy," innit.

He's been our player of the season, no matter how small pathetic an award that may be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 How can you even say a goalkeeper has unequivocally been a side's player of the season, especially when that side are 19th in the table and have conceded the 2nd most goals in the league? It's a completely baseless accolade that you could say for 4-5 other players if you were trying to big them up. "Sissoko's been our player of the season, no matter how small pathetic an award that may be." "Wijnaldum's been our player of the season, no matter how small pathetic an award that may be."

Scoot Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Another fucking nail in our coffin. ANOTHER great move by the club not to bring in another keeper on loan. At least they saved a few quid though eh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just as much confidence in Darlow as this bloke tbh so while it's not ideal it's not the end of the world some are proclaiming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1pe Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 There was a stage when I was bricking it every time he was in the team so it just shows how things can change. Darlow was thrown in at West Brom and was awful but he's guaranteed 8 games now regardless of how good or bad he is so hopefully with less pressure we'll get to see the player the Forest fans were disappointed to be losing.

Mick Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 HA typical, another stupid tight arse decision backfires on the club again. As soon as Krul was crocked, they should have put the feelers out for a loan keeper in January. When will they learn. They tried but Enrique wouldn't come back.

We have conceded so many goals because we have a shite team and an even worse defence. If it wasn't for Elliot we would have zero away wins. He won us 6 points on his own, at least, at Bournemouth and Spurs. He's been excellent and our lack of forward thinking will cost us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest Elliot won us 6 points on his own is, as you say, the most amateurish shite I've ever heard. And again you can say the same about other players in other games (Perez for example in the exact 2 games you mentioned). I think he's done a fair enough job in goal, certainly better than I thought he was capable of, but I find the praise he recieves for literally 'being a goalkeeper' absurd. People jizz over his Bournemouth performance but for all they botted us silly they were awful infront of goal. Him getting PotS is as baseless as giving it to the retired tea lady, he isn't good enough and it'll be madness if he's our number 1 next season.

Kanj Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The last GREAT GK performance we had over a course of a season was Krul in the 5th season; prior to that probably Shay during Bobby's reign. Elliot has improved massively since coming into the team this year and he's been responsible for a few of the points we have amassed this year; but we're still 19th man. No player of the season at all for me, like anyone on the team. All have been shit overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 He's exceeded expectation if that is the same is excelling is debatable.

thomas Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Look, sometimes PoTY is because a player has been genuinely outstanding and a true game changer. Sometimes (this time) it's who has been least shit out of a bunch of shit players in a shit season and it's almost meaningless to pick between them. Might as well be Elliot tbh. Honestly think it should just be skipped in the latter situations. Maybe give it to Armstrong for being a scoring machine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Is it all to do with the 'not liking him' shit? Not to do with the fact, that he's a bang average keeper, who is slow off his line and who's distribution seems to get worse with every game? He's alright. No more, no less. To call him player of the season, is a bit ridiculous. Nobody has played well on a regular basis, so fuck knows who would win that award. It's probably why we're utter shite and in 19th place.

I disagree with you, I don't think he's been great for us by any means and I think some of his performances have been greatly exaggerated, you mentioning Spurs and Bournemouth just reinforces my opinion more as they're 2 of the games I can remember hearing he 'stole us points' but I honestly couldn't see it myself. I don't like him granted, but then again I don't like Sissoko but I'd make the argument he's been more valuable for us this season than Rob Elliott, an easily replaceable Championship/lower-tier Premiership goalkeeper. But aye, Rob Elliot being our best player this season is literally the only argument that can be made or something, well done on actually saying that.

I'm not going to spend all day defending a player I don't particularly rate (I said he had an excellent season, not that he's a good player), even if you don't agree. I'd suggest you watch those saves again. He made all the saves he could, in those games. Without him we would have never got back into the game.
