I'm always surprised when people form very strong views about subtle differences between keepers. Aside from seeing a series of glaring errors or cracking saves, I find it difficult to judge. I don't know enough to differentiate on positional sense, or other choices they have to make. So from that position of authority, Darlow looks good enough to me, seems really agile: finger tip save and the way he got up and spread to cover the shot off the bar looked excellent.

Decent keeper better than Sels but not as good as Elliot, though nobody will admit it because of something he may or may not have said in a night club.

 

Bollocks.

 

This and WTF, I know nothing about this so called night club incident. I'm just of the opinion Elliot is just fat and useless, got nothing to do with conspiracy theories of nightclubs or anything.

If you don't rate him thats obviously fair enough, but from my side I saw him come into the team, pull off cracking saves, have decent distribution and generally perform excellently and win player of the season (not that there were many candidates admittedly) but the pre conceived notions about him on here mean everyone has jumped on the bandwagon of thinking hes shit.

 

All it takes on here is one popular poster to voice a strong opinion and the rest fall in line sometimes.

I can't remember which site it was, but I found a stat where he had one of the worst shots saved ratios in the league. And that was supposedly his strength.
