gbandit Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Hmm, maybe it’s more like Bale. Less blistering pace than Bale but similar strides Edit: just looked back at some Bale dribbles and they’re not that similar actually Edited March 16, 2022 by gbandit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gashead 73 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 You sure you lads what Billy back? This lad was unstoppable last night v Colchester and 2 goals in 2 games. This lad is something special' but in respect this is league 2, he needs to be tested at a higher level and if its not in league 1 with Rovers next season then he needs to be loaned to a decent League 1/Championship club. Small steps are better than big ones into football oblivion. Take Care Toon Army, speak soon UTG KTF HATE BRISTOL CITY Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 We need a pre-season friendly with Rovers, preferably away as Bristol is one of my fave places. Let him play 45 for them, then 45 for us. Proceeds going to food banks in both cities! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 The boy wonder The number of young families coming to watch Rovers in recent weeks has certainly grown in line with the team’s epic run of form, and those who are getting their first taste of Rovers are witnessing something special. Elliot Anderson should not be playing in League Two, but somehow he is and Rovers are the lucky beneficiaries. This is a match-winner at just 19 years old, capable of scoring the goal that kids want to recreate the next day in the school playground. Anderson does have a knack for making it look like child’s play as he utilises his weightless feet and strong core to dance past one challenge before bulldozing through another. He added another superb goal to a growing collection on Tuesday, producing a pinpoint bending strike into the top corner to break the deadlock on an evening when Rovers had struggled for flow in their attacking play against a deep-set defence. Beyond the goal, there were more than a handful of moments where he drew gasps of amazement from the terraces. He had the beating of any defender one on one and doubling up did not work for Colchester either. Harrogate had the same trouble on Saturday and Anderson will be causing managers headaches over how to plan and prepare for a young firebrand in such dominant form. A player destined for the big stage, Anderson will never play for Rovers again after May and anyone of a blue and white persuasion needs to get down to BS7 to see the boy wonder in the flesh. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/boy-wonder-inspires-bristol-rovers-6809352 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Interesting to see what we do with him here. Under Ashley he’d just have quietly been released after Shola had ruined him for a couple of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Hopefully he takes Bristol up and stays or gets a move up a division or two or to the SPL. All he needs is regular football and if it’s playing in a team that keeps it on the deck then all the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronson333 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Sounds like we’ve got something special on our hands according to Bristol Rovers fans on their forum https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/19350/billy-elliot?page=1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I think I’ve found a club I now quite like, reading their history, their forums and obviously now they have one of our players, plus Bristol is one of my fave cities and I had an amazing few days there watching Gateshead away a few years back. I hope they get promoted and continue to prosper, a proper club with proper fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we have the next Gascoigne according to their forum! Great experience for the lad, next level should be a championship team but with the right type of football, something similar to what we play here. Also like the fact that the link up with joey barton seems to be working, we can send more loanees to develop there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, although it seems he should be playing a level much higher and I think a stint in The Championship is something we should consider, however if Bristol Rovers do go up then letting him have at least 6 months could be more valuable as he will likely continue to get games and we know he's being utilised and developed.
