Fenham Mag Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Impressive how much Elliot has improved whilst being seriously injured, overweight and never playing. He was our POTS so don't think people are overrating him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to do with Darlow consistently making bad mistakes lately than people thinking Elliot is good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magorific Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 If Darlow makes more discernible "errors" than Elliott it's because he's a far braver keeper (ie braver in his decision-making). Look how he claimed cross after cross at Wolves. Would Elliott have done that? A keeper who doesn't look to command his box may not make as many glaring mistakes, but the pressure he creates for his back four will ultimately cost the team more heavily. For me, anyone who thinks Elliott - a decent shot-stopper but nothing more - is a better goalkeeper than Darlow needs a serious word with themselves.

Guest Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The mistakes Darlow has made is nothing to do with being brave or commanding. The QPR one I can give him a pass on, but the Rotherham and Norwich mistakes were schoolboy mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 There's been quite a few which he has got away with too. I like him, I think he's a decent keeper but we need someone better next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Was at fault for Brentford's equaliser the other week too I've got more confidence in him than the other 2 keepers here though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulivye Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 i think he simply took his eye off the ball & so whiffed. he needs to stay focused & he'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, anyone who thinks Elliott - a decent shot-stopper but nothing more - is a better goalkeeper than Darlow needs a serious word with themselves. This is what I was saying earlier. If you just want a shot stopper, then Darlow could probably do that better than Elliott if he just stayed on his line. His mistakes come when he comes off his line to either take the cross or as we saw on Saturday, clear the ball like a sweeper. He's making mistakes, but he's trying to command his area like a top keeper should. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 People are fuckin mental. Darlow made one mistake, came back from it and had a good game afterwards by all accounts. Elliott is a nothing keeper and never has been, Darlow will grow from that. Amazing how people have jumped on him, he's better than Elliott already with plenty time to improve.

Guest alijmitchell Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Darlow I'm totally undecided on, but I really like some of the stuff he does, he's fairly confident in the box (QPR aside) and is a decent shot stopper. But of course has made big errors that have essentially cost us 4 points. Sels/Elliot in that position would rightly get pelters. I still wouldn't want Sels back because I don't think he brings any confidence to those in front of him. And Elliot, well I just don't really like him as a player or person.

He's made a mistake in most games for a while now He's also made countless catches and commanded numerous situations which fatty Elliott and Sels would have watched unfold from the supposed safety of their goalline, no matter the pressure it piled on their back four. Darlow's a young keeper. Young keepers make mistakes, but the best of them remain brave enough to keep trying to do the right things and learn more about their trade along the way.

It's depressing to contrast the amount of leeway Krul was always given with the criticism of Darlow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter how many catches you make if you make as many mistakes as Darlow has lately By the way being a brave keeper doesn't have anything to do with slicing a ball backwards or leaving a ball down in the box for an opposition player to take Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
