Elliot Anderson (now playing for Nottingham Forest)

[Ronson333]

He’s shown just as much as Gordon for us despite his limited playing time, actually against Forest second half he played very well. Gordon has much more experience than him too at PL level.

At the same time, it feels strange to be bringing in other players so that he can be loaned out. The competition for places would be even more fierce when he comes back.

Let me know when we do. 

[Sempiternal]

Loan him out if he isn’t playing. He needs to play at his age

I actually think he has shown more - on a technical level and in terms of decision making on the ball, admittedly based on a limited showing so far. Probably slower than Gordon although that pace hasn't been utilised effectively so far. Both have some good instincts when it comes to occupying space on the left. 

 

If it's correct that Anderson's best position long-term will be out wide then the Gordon signing makes even less sense. 

[NUFC]

Always thought he looked tidy but nowt spectacular.

 

I'm not convinced he will be a PL quality player but will have a decent FL career. He will be 21 in November according to wiki so if he was going to make it he would have broken through and been a more regular player for us, his only real experience is at League 2 level

[mikejaxer]

Yeah I agree that Anderson has shown more than Gordon despite being younger. Which makes it baffling as to why we even signed Gordon at all. At the very least he should have gone out on loan.

Think this is the wrong way of looking at his development. Footballers don’t develop linearly. Some are better at a younger age. 
 

he would have been out in loan in a championship club a couple years ago had Bruce decided to send him out. 
 

 

he still has good technical ability, and I think under Howe, he’ll come good. Not least because we need a certain amount of homegrown players for Europe.

Really wish we’d given this lad more minutes this season. In almost all of his cameos he’s looked raw but he’s also had moments of real quality. He’s such a direct player and if he’d had more time I’m sure he’d have been involved in goals both scoring and creating

Wish we got in another CM and Let this lad play regular football in the Championship. I’m sure he’s enjoyed the ride but it has been a bit of a wasted year In his career development. What is likely to be a 20-year career at best.  

[Skeletor]

It's pretty wholesome how Gas fans still get excited when he plays for us

If we can get a win against Leicester I'd love to see him given the last game to impress. I think like Gordon he's itching to do something, be it assist or goal, and once it comes I think it'll unleash him somewhat. 

[AJ9]

Well done lad. Came into a high pressure game and didn’t look out of place at all.

[Newcastle Fan]

Well done to him today, he showed that he can work in this level and this season could be huge for his development.

[The College Dropout]

Thought he was very average but glad he got the game time.

Yeah a little disappointing. But that just from his own cameos when he just had 5 mins. 

[Pilko]

Thought he didn't look out of place which can only be a good thing. Nice end to the season for him.

[Smal]

he was good considering the context of it being his first significant game time at this level. His only real minutes before this have been in the 4th division but you’d never have known that watching him. He had the right ideas, for sure.

[Kid Icarus]

Absolutely not the game for him but needs must. A more stretched game would have been better but he'll learn from it 

[Chapo]

Thought he was fine tbh, was always looking for Isaak. 

[mikejaxer]

He didn't look out of place which was the important thing, considering this is only his second start in the Premier League.

 

I feel like he needs to play on the LW though.

[duo]

He was always wanting the ball - credit to the lad. I thought he did ok - was a difficult game. Leicester basically parked the bus.

[Viana]

He looks of the level, but I think he needs more football to figure out how he can consistently cause teams a problem.

I honestly think he just needs to play more games - he was always wanting the ball, making the runs but he wasn't always getting it.  He clearly has the confidence and no doubt the ability. 

[Smal]

I mean, it’s important to remember that he’s basically had no football this season as well. You can’t be disappointed when he’s not come in and immediately replaced Willock or Joelinton. He’ll have been rusty so to play as well as he did was very promising imo.

Yeah he’s not a bad player, but sometimes when he gets the ball it’s not obvious to him what to do. As you say, games will fix this. 

[LiquidAK]

Thought he played well - some nice link-up moments with Isak.
