Fair plat to him today he got 2 chances and buried both well. His second was superb. You could tell he was lacking match fitness. However you could tell he loved every minute of it. He ran his socks off.
Very good game and took goals very well. Second especially! Nice to see a forward hassle a defender into making a mistake when we're on the counter attack, pick his spot and bury it even though he had the option to square it! So many times over the years we've had players who would have given up half way through that attempt, or gone for the pass and is fluff the chance!
It is only one game but if he can take this form into future fixtures then he will deserve his place in the team!
Be interesting to see if McG walks back in on NYD, or if Robins sticks with his principles and rewards players who put on a show!
Elliot is the future,Goldie may not be
He's 29 though
a late developer then
Agree goldie has been excellent but how can he drop Elliot after that?
What a great headache. Clarke mcg or Elliott for nyd?

To think last week the usual suspects were piss tasking his headed miss vs Preston
tbf it is slightly differentWe said the same about Barton after the Donny game then with hindsight people changed their mind and said we should have played Baker.
As well as Elliott played today, Mcgoldrick had to come back in - he'll be fired up for his last game for us.

Well thats what Robins is going to have to consider! Dropping Elliott may damage his confidence, but playing him may result in us regretting not bringing back McG!
I say if we haven't done a deal to keep McG by the game, we play Elliott. We have got to prepare for the rest of the season after all, rather thn just one game.
Or we play both? I know we play 4-2-3-1 but i would like to see us have a go at home.
Robins will decide whatever is best for the team.
He will not be suckered into this nonsense about keep a winning team he will decide on the best team to get a result.
This is the difference between a football manager and a popularist fool.
He's the one that said that players will be in the team on merit and Elliot earns merit today
Nice of him to make her travel home alone on the trainSat in front of his bird on the train home! Random statement, but true

His first goal came off defender
Slick finish for his second tho
How was his all round play? I know he works hard but did he hold up ball as and contribute to build up play like DMC does?
So merit is one game not 15?

He held up well until hw was fouled but the ref was shit and didn't give it
