Sho Time Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I really don't get how they can justify putting this bloke ahead of Steve Harper as backup, fair enough he's young and has a bit of time, but we need to get shot of him on loan to find his feet again as he's looked utter shite every time I've seen him.

Fenham Mag Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Good craic on twitter though. 10 grand a week for his craic on twitter. Bargain! I doubt he'll be on that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmelads Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 He doesn't look ready. Would much rather have Harper as backup and send Elliott out on loan. Let him make his mistakes in the lower leagues and if he doesn't progress, get shot of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If that is the case it makes a bit of a mockery. Yes, he's the club's long serving player and might not want to be travelling the country to sit on the bench at this stage in the career, but if that is the case then just retire. In my opinion, you can't be contracted to a club, picking up a wage and then dictating when you do and don't travel, particularly given he is well aware he is a backup goalkeeper. However, I have no idea if it has actually been confirmed if that is actually the situation? Shameless self plug, (and I probably shouldn't be doing it - feel free mods to delete) but these are my thoughts on who should be second choice http://www.ifsholascores.wordpress.com/2012/07/21/whos-two-28/#more-236 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Excellent performance, more like that please. I was also impressed with his communication from the back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Better option than Harper. He actually runs around his box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPalAl Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Excellent performance, more like that please. I was also impressed with his communication from the back. Agreed. Looked like Andy Woodman has been spending a shit load of time with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thought on the whole his performance was very encouraging, at least he doesn't take 10 minutes to hit the deck like Harper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Thats the best game i've ever seen him play, was pretty solid throughout, commanded his defenders in front, looked composed, distribution was decent and apart from the save near the end where he "shovelled" it round the post his handling was very good.

SiLvOR Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Pulled off some very smart saves and kept us in it a few times. Said it in the match thread, but I was loving his constant talking throughout. Hope he continues in this vein of form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginola Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Excellent performance, more like that please. I was also impressed with his communication from the back.

Mick Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 His first save was the pick of the saves he made, he hasn't looked that good for us so far and isn't third choice for nothing. Hopefully has can prove he's worth playing as we could do with a better 2nd choice than we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Excellent performance, more like that please. I was also impressed with his communication from the back. I have a feeling this may have been highlighted by the complete lack of atmosphere. All keepers have a bit shout on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Better option than Harper. He actually runs around his box. Should definitely be our number two. Hope he plays at the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Said before, he isn't going to go from a highly rated youngish keeper in league one to a completely hopeless wreck like some thought he was. It is a hell of a jump but he could be decent backup, nice to see him do well and hopefully he continues when given the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
