The College Dropout Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Good job we're in the Championship then. Aye he'll be one of the better keepers in the division. But unless he improves we'll probably want to upgrade on him after promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 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. He's shit and we got relegated. Least shitty shit is not an award of any relevance. You weren't saying that at the time like. Basically everyone was agreed that he had played decently during his run in the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 They didn't like. He played well in quite a few games and looked a 'good shotstopper', he definitely improved coming back after his injury, but he cost us atleast 4 points directly due to basic errors (Everton and Stoke) and made a couple more howlers. He was incredibly slow off his line which I doubt gave our defence much confidence. I remember people gushing over his Bournemouth performance but other than a header at the near post it was routine saves and shite finishing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland game when coloccini was sent off, I still maintain that should be the GK's ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That Stoke goal was ridiculous, I assumed Shaqiri's shot swerved massively in the air and thought Elliot had no chance before the replay but it was right next to him and he didn't even try to save it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievably bad from him on that one. At least fucking recognise that the ball is moving towards you and attempt to save it FFS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Up to about 6 weeks ago I thought he'd be enough to see us through next season but not now. It's like with Bramble. It's all well and good him looking top class for 89 minutes but if these brain farts that are standing out are going to be a regular thing then it's no good. We're effectively starting at 0-1 every 2 or 3 games in the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be some hefty investment needed next season, but keeper wouldn't be the priority for me. Fuck me, we had Jak Alnwick in goal not too long ago in the premier.

Disco Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Rob Elliot is a fat cunt, he wears a fat cunts hat And when he's in the bakers, he says I'm having that He's scranning all the pasties, he's scranning all the cakes And when we see him in our goal we all go for fuck sake Disappointed this never got an airing before Ritchie stole the tune.

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. Reality, I don't think any of them are good enough for the prem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Absurd to blame the keeper alone for dropping points the other night. Mitrovic should have rendered Darlow's mistake irrelevant. Are you his Da? I've criticised Mitro enough in that thread so won't bang on about him in here (my opinion on him hasn't changed yet). But Mitro not scoring some fairly decent chances (where there is a fair probability in each case he might not score) is not the same as Darlow essentially hoying the ball to their striker in front of an open goal. Maybe criticising him for throwing away points at QPR is harsh, and in that game there were multiple offenders, but Darlow vs Norwich was by far the biggest mistake that cost us points IMO Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if Krul stays like. Very rare for a regular first team player to be loaned out in the prime of his career to come back, particularly when we paid for a keeper in the summer.
