we're family friends of tony lochlan who was assistant manager of sunderland and ipswich whilst roy keane was there, head coach of watford under sean dyche and currently head coach of burnely under sean dyche
and tony said that elliot is a great finisher rom when he used to train the team at sunderland and that he'll become a valuable asset for us if he gets match time
I always thought he was under-rated by many, espeicially when he has had little chance to show us what he could do.
I have liked the fact that he is clearly willing to get himself about and chase the ball down. He has an eye for goal and with more match fitness think we have a player there who will definately help in our push for promotion.
His second goal at MK was quality very strong in the tackle most would of gone over at that point (I was in that corner) and his determination to beat his player and score was fantastic, and then his delight was beautiful to see he ran directly to us and even when the lads where pulling him away from the fans to restart he still wanted to high five the fans, to say he was ecstatic is probably a understatement - I love seeing our players celebrate with the fans...never gets old!
I thought at the time he should have squared it, but looking at the replays i didnt realise how far behind him Sheffers was! Should hve had more faith in the lad!
Top finish though! To out do his marker, pull it back to (what i presume is his preferred foot) and place it around the keeper was just top notch!
I spoke to my mate after who was sitting more central and he said the same as you (sw88) I didnt even see Sheffers I was to focused on Elliott's feet.....the way he was moving them it was more like Billy Elliott!
Agreed, it was a top class goal all round. His goal against Sheff Utd earlier in the season proves that he can finish, not so sure why so many have doubted him this season.
