Pilko Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 It's always nice to hear when our players fall in love with the region, like. In a way, a cockney doing so is more surprising than an African or South American player doing so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 People still believe that shit? it quite obviously happened like. Not sure why you're so sceptical of literally every encounter someone might have with a player or person in the game out in the world but it happens. People meet people. Not everyone is some massive attention seeking liar looking for internet credits. It's in the past now though, not just those quotes which are nice, but he's got on with his job well enough. It still annoys me that we never improved on him but, when we do, he'll still be handy to have around as back-up. EDIT: What you're suggesting here is that TheGuv got in from a night on the piss and his first thought was get straight onto the internet to concoct some massive conspiracy in an effort to defame a pointless NUFC player for absolutely no reason. Not just "I saw Elliott being a cunt in town", but to actually sit at his PC and construct an entire conversation at 3 in the morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If the Pardew stuff is true it's a bit snide, but I've moved on. He clearly is attached to area, and I thought the quotes were great tbh. Ultimately, if we want to get better, we'd need to improve the GK position next season. But he's had a decent start to the season, his attitude is right, we got him for £250K, which is super value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Didn't we put a derisory bid in for him too before that £250k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Didn't we put a derisory bid in for him too before that £250k? Aye, I think might have been £130K or something? Ultimately I understand the differing opinions on the lad, but we can all agree we got him for a cracking price. Tbh we've had a quite a few "smaller" buys that have worked out as very decent value in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Personally I've never thought it was such a big shock that an average championship standard keeper bums a manager who he worked with at Charlton and then brought him to the prem to play for us, when he's obviously not up to it and let in 51 goals in 35 games in league 1 the previous season before we signed him.

Dinho lad Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Couldn't give two flying shits what he said. I hope he will improve further as he's still relatively young for a keeper. Good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Couldn't give two flying s***s what he said. I hope he will improve further as he's still relatively young for a keeper.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 His kicking has improved massively over the last two games. Another superb save to keep us in it, for a keeper that doesn't make good saves. TCD talking shit, as per. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 He had one kick in the first half which was particularly terrible. Good goal line clearance of the line mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think i've ever called him Blob or whatever. Don't care about his comments. Defended him before. I just think he looked shakey besides a world-class save. Always slow off his line and has to rush clearances etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think you do this for attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I think you do this for attention. The save was a worldie. My comment was at half-time. I didn't say he made any massive shakes he just doesn't fill the defence or me with confidence. Whenever they put a ball on him in the box there was a nervousness throughout and he contributes. From low-pressure situations put one clearance out of play and another into a dangerous area. He had less to do in the second half and overall can't complain. Just felt he looked shakey in the first half - sheeesh it's just an opinion not a dramatic one at that.

joeyt Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Nearly all goalkeepers are good shot stoppers at the top level. It's the other attributes to their game that shapes them in being really good keepers. His kicking is poor which puts us on the back foot and he's still susceptible to shots from distance. Was an excellent save on the line today mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were a bit weak, but it's normally one of our strengths and there were two fouls in there. Of course it is, but the marking on that set piece was horrifically slack. Potential foul on Mbemba but the two lads marking Hemed were poor too, for our usual high standards it was horrendously sloppy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
