gbandit Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Great composure on the finish, that’s the most impressive thing. Despite weaving and passing a few players the finish is so calm given he only has a small area to aim at Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Somerset Gas Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Deservedly awarded MOTM today. Didn't put a foot wrong, didn't give the ball away. Created chances for himself and the front two. Joy to watch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I work with a guy who was en ex pro footballer in Div 3/4 in the 80s and 90s, but still knows his stuff and trialled/played with/against a lot of top level players in his time. He’s a Bristol Rovers fan and watches them every week. He’s convinced he’s like ‘a Young Gascoigne’. The Bristol fans now have a nickname for Anderson, which is Billy Elliot because of his footwork and coming from Newcastle (I know it’s Durham but close enough!).

HawK Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) This lad looks so special. I looked at this clip and thought Gascoigne, Beardsley, and the next two posts after said the same. He could do a job for us in the PL next season. You just don't go to League Two and dance around seasoned pros who'd love nothing more than to clatter a young PL loanee to the ground. This is the loan that's meant to ground him and show him the true hard physicality of grown-up, men's football. And he's literally taking the piss out of everyone.

A season-long loan in the Champo next year would do him a lot of good, assuming he can get regular playing time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoreboard82 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Good to see some Bristol Rovers fans in here. I was down there on an awful night in December as part of my "doing the 92" bid. You were having a good go at coming back from 2 down to Port Vale with 10 men until you had another man sent off. I hear there's a new stadium in the pipeline so I think I might have to return?

He is still to hit the heights of decent previous players we've had such as Rickie Lambert, but he is the first to get people watching intently when he has the ball, as did Lord Lambert. He has certainly shown more than enough to want to keep him for next season, and the way things are going that will be in League 1. IMO if he is happy where he is, and he is playing like that is the case then there is no harm in him spending a season or two toughening up in the lower leagues. But that of course is a totally bias view! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there's a new stadium in the pipeline so I think I might have to return? It took a while to forget that nightmare game! The standard of refereeing in the lower leagues seems to subside every season. There is a new stadium in the pipeline, right on the doorstep of the 'darkside' where the shirts are mostly a horrible red colour, all part of a complex planning application including housing and business complex next to Temple Meads railway station, and the river that used to traditionally split red and blue. I think we have seen an artist impression of about 5/6 grounds now in the last 30 years, so the fact that nothing has been printed in the paper on this one may just be a good omen, and get a modern ground. Did you sit or stand that night? Spoken to may visitors from other prem clubs who loved seeing the terraces, and the fact we have three stands down one side of the pitch!

Dokko Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 No chance of BR getting in to l1 next season? Hope so and he can stay there. It won't harm him to get at least half a season there and judge whether he can step up to championship. I reckon if he goes straight there next season he'll not get much game time and be a waste of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stroudgas Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 This lad is incredible. Can’t believe we actually managed to get him in for 6 months. Looks like he’s always going to do something with the ball, is super physical and has confidence through the roof. I love him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Clearly should be playing at a higher level (said this at the time when he was loaned out) but I guess getting a good run of games will do him good and he can have a season in the Championship or equivalent next season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fear in this lad whatsoever, Barton gives him the freedom to roam in our system so the opposition are left guessing whether he is going to pop up on the left or right. He is so eager to get on the ball, and very good at creating space for himself on the flanks, and not shy in letting his team mates know if they don't spot him in acres of space, which is always great to see in league two. What a joy to see a player running at defenders, brings back memories of Gazza. Into the play offs we go, and Elliot is certainly standing out, that said the whole squad are on their A game, we are on one hell of a run, 1 defeat in the last 12, playing the best football I've seen us play for many years, UTG.
