Elliot Anderson (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[The Butcher]

Would start him against Arsenal.

Scunny fan on the radio yesterday saying they only made 2 changes from the previous weeks draw with Hartlepool so hardly wholesale changes. Maybe they are bottom because they were poor and have poor players?

 

They're bottom and going out of the football league because of spectacularly criminal mis-management of the club by Peter Swann. He deliberately ran the club into the ground once he realised that he couldn't achieve what he wanted to achieve - a business empire built on the land owned by the club. He's the lower division Mike Ashley, fucking hate the cunt. 

 

But yes, the current set of players would barely get into a sunday league team. Not their fault though.

Chronicle talking rubbish then!

Only registered because I felt compelled too.

 

"Billy" is a fantastic player, Eddie has great form with youngsters in his previous roles. Just hope that the lad gets a chance, thoroughly deserves it.

 

UTG, and good luck to the Toon next season.

Shame that but be good to get him around the first team squad when he’s full of confidence and for Howe to have a proper look at him regardless. Interested to see how genuinely good he is.

[andycap]

I thought he was classed as an u21 squad player therefore doesn't need registering.

I believe it is he is on loan until the transfer window opens then comes back to us, we can only use him in special circumstances with FA and/or PL approval (lots of injuries)

It's a different kind of "registration" really. He doesn't have to be registered as part of our PL squad because he's U21 as you say, but he still needs to be registered as a Newcastle player which they won't allow outside the transfer window.

[Raconteur]

Promoting one of U-18 players (who is probably still in therapy) is sound evidence for us to claim an injury-exemption and allow him to play. Interesting litmus test of the PL’s feelings towards us…

 

BTW are we going all in on the Billy nickname?

[Gashead 73]

Bristol Post have an article today with Barton throwing their request in the hat with Newcastle to bring Billy back on loan for next season with a promise of first team football as per this past loan spell. 

It's up to Eddie Howe I guess but wherever he is this coming season then Rovers fans will wish him well, and will be monitoring his development. 

 

Love Rovers & Hate City

Makes sense so he can see him up close and decide what's best for his development. Stay or loan out and if so what level to loan him to.

What mind of player is Elliot Anderson? I'm seeing him is sort of our answer to Mason Mount? Tidy on the ball, can move it forward, very attacking focussed, can drift out wide and use it or drive at goal create chances and score. Is that a fair comparison in terms of player? Or is he something else?

 

Remember Sean Longstaff was banging in goals for Blackpool years ago on loan, but he seems nothing like an attacking player. 

Who knows what would have became of Longstaff it Rafa had stayed.

Might have turned out like Mbabu or Toney

Anderson gets a good write up in this sky article covering the best young EFL talent this season.

[Holloway]

How exciting, what a talent he looks. Excellent finishing with both feet

[Skeletor]

Just as well he's coming through now. Ashley would have sold him for a packet of cheese and onion.

[David Edgar]

He's done really well but my main takeaway from that is how poor the standard is in League 2.  

 

Nice that he will get time with the first team in preseason.  I'm sure Howe will know quickly if he has the ability to play for us or whether he's gonna need more time out on loan to develop. 

 

Still don't have a handle on how big a prospect he is overall.  Would be magic if he makes it.

[80]

To the Gasheads, have you seen his game change much while he was with you? I heard you say he stood up to the physicality quickly, but anything else? Maybe got more consistent in his contributions, or adventurous or clinical?

I've only seen glimpses of this lad, but he actually looked quite strong, in addition to being technically gifted. He didn't look like a lightweight ball player who would get bullied at the top level. 

 

All the current signs point to him making the grade.
