Smal Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I thought he looked good. Could do with getting a bit wiser though as I thought there were a couple of situations where he could’ve tried to win a penalty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 He’s not ready, I really wish he’d gone to a top 10 championship team, and was playing every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I know you’re a scout and probably look at a ton more data than we do and I agree he should have gone on loan for hai development in September but I think it’s hard to say whether he’s ready or not given he only gets ten mins here and there. I think he’s had times where he’s looked really sharp and other times where he’s looked a bit out of his depth but it’s hard to know based on the minutes he’s had Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 My opinion is no more valid than anyone else’s, I genuinely haven’t looked at anything on him aside from the games. I just felt his start against Sheff Wed was a big indicator of where he’s at. He hasn’t done anything majorly wrong in these little cameos it’s just little things with him. Agree with the inconsistency which imo is going to happen with being young/not playing enough The offside thing is whatever, just young mistakes, bound to happen, it’s just a really key part of his development right now and I’m always a big proponent of getting game time. I really think he has a lot of potential and if he got a start every week in a really competitive division it would do him the world of good. I’m a fan of his, I want him to develop. Would have loved him at say a Norwich. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 He’s only year younger than Gordon, but you can see the benefit Gordon has had from playing, and how further he is as a player imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I agree that his one start was the worst performance hes had by a distance. Real shame, he’s here now until the end of the session so let’s hope he gets time on the pitch to develop. I think he has a role to play for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I always just want young players to be playing at his age, games >>> anything else Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen enough of Gordon to believe he will be a full international/top player. Don’t have same belief re Anderson, though maybe flash forward a year and we’ll know/be confident one way or another. That said, he’ll probably have to go elsewhere next season for him to realise his potential/find his level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Can stilli see something of s player in there,hope he gets increased minutes and finds a part to play for the last third of the season. He has the stamp to make it I'd say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m not saying he never will be but he’s not there right now, I would like him to play more, and it’s better for him. I don’t see him as CM, though I’ll defer to Howe if he does. His worst performance was in midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 He’ll develop more by playing competitive games. He should’ve been loaned out in January if our squad was filled out. He’s a proper bit part player. That Garnacho at Man U will get many more minutes this season and is a few years younger. That’s the gap Anderson will be missing. Although Garnacho looks another level of prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Anderson He isn’t the answer, to slow Longstaff isn’t either Both need upgrading Burn has been outstanding - but we need an attacking pacy left back for home games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You needed hindsight to see that? I think even with Shelvey he would have needed to stay. Shelvey +1 and then he goes and gets regular game time. But FFP init.

The tone was very ott, like; and there's no certainty that a season surrounded by Howe, his staff, and players in his position like Bruno - in a season where the club is reaching cup finals and pushing for CL places - is going to hamper his development, or be any less valuable than a year at Oakwell. And he's only just turned 20, there's still plenty of opportunities for useful loans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

magvicar Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If Elliott Anderson keeps learning and sticking in then he'll get more game time as time goes on, but as for now, with what we have and the way we're trying to break into the top 4, we need ready made experience. He's shown glimpses of his talent when afforded the time and he may turn into a regular like Longstaff but as it stands it really has to be kid gloves when you consider the pressure pot we're in with trying to stay relevant at the right end of the table.
