Twinport53 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 If Elliot had been playing we would've let in at least another two. Considering Elliott is massive, he never makes himself big. Darlow is straight in with the flying star fish, ready to take one in the knackers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Should have saved the first goal, but offset this would two or three cracking saves he made. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Made some impressive stops today and couldn't do much about the goals, keep him. Elliott would have been blamed for at least 2 of them on here. The hypocrisy levels of this place is unreal What the fuck are you on about If he did bad then everyone here would've pointed it out, there is no agenda for the guy or against Elliot, the later was praised when he had good games too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nit picking, but could he have stood up longer for the first goal? Wasn't exactly hit into the roof of the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hypocrisy levels of this place is unreal What the f*** are you on about If he did bad then everyone here would've pointed it out, there is no agenda for the guy or against Elliot, the later was praised when he had good games too What I'm on about is that Elliott was blamed on here for Watfords third goal last week because the ball came across this 6 yard box before it was put in the goal, yet Darlow has conceded 3 goals in 2 games from crosses into his 6 yard box yet doesn't get any criticism. Shay Given said in the studio at half time he could have done better with the 1st goal yesterday if he'd stood up instead of going down on his knees although personally I think that shots hit into the ground are always tricky to save.

Lush Vlad Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Wallsend Mag is like Rob Elliot’s knight in shining armour. Always willing to fight for his honour. Similar to how triggs used to be with Sissoko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Nit picking, but could he have stood up longer for the first goal? Wasn't exactly hit into the roof of the net. Watching MOTD he clearly was going down before the ball was even hit, maybe anticipating a strike low down? You can’t fault him for any goal really.

Similar to how triggs used to be with Sissoko No I don't think he's good enough to be a PL goalkeeper and nor is Darlow. Just found it odd that he was blamed for every goal we conceded on here yet nobody criticises Darlow for conceding similar goals (balls put into the 6 yard box with him nowhere).

He also said that he was expecting it to be hit true, and not into the ground and that's what through him off. There are probably only 2 keepers that save that in the league imo.

I’m sure you used to have a go at others for defending Elliott, and now you have a go at those who criticise him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Elliott's ok at instinctive shot stopping but my god the other parts of his game are lower championship level at best. Darlow's a better GK but his confidence was shot to pieces at the end of last season. Ideally we'll buy a new GK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Darlow is a better keeper and Rafa clearly agrees, I don't really know what else there is to say. Never thought I'd see Elliott fan boys but here we are I don't rate either and I don't think the manager does either. Started last season with Sels, replaced him with Darlow, then had to take Darlow out and replace him with Elliott when his mistakes started costing us games. Started this season with Elliott and has now replaced with Darlow. In amongst all that he tried to sign Pepe Reina. They're both not up to the job but just don't get all the OTT criticism of Elliott on here yet not a word said about Darlow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got hammered plenty for mistakes in the past. I don't think either are good enough but Darlow is the better of the two by some way imo. We should have got Begovic Agree with the last sentence. He's not better than Elliott by some way though. If he was Elliott wouldn't have 13 PL appearances to his 2 this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 He's a much better 'keeper than Elliot technically but is mentally fragile and sometimes struggles to concentrate. Your argument is weak. If he wasn't better than Elliot why did Darlow have 34 appearances to Elliot's 3 last season? Given you are Elliot's number one fan on here you might want to start spelling his name correctly.

Also didn't Darlow get put in by Rafa when he first came here? I think Rafa expected us to get a better Keeper and was trying to sell Darlow as he was the most desirable of the two to potential buyers. When Ashley f***ed him, he was in a strange situation as presumably he'd told Darlow he could leave and Elliott that he was staying No that was due a bad injury.

We did try and sell him tho iirc No to Elliot which is why Rafa played Darlow from his 3rd game here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both poor "technically" as you put it so I don't know how you can say one is much better than the other in that respect. In fact both of them have very few strengths to their game and several weaknesses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact both of them have very few strengths to their game and several weaknesses. He was fit from January (made his comeback in December) and couldn't displace Darlow. Darlow really is far, far better than Elliot. Darlow is comfortably a decent Championship standard 'keeper. You'll find better 'keepers than Elliot at most clubs in League 1, which ironically is where we got him from, funny that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
