Elliott’s a weird one - was being hailed as our best player 5 games ago. Had an awful game against PV (I think it was) then another dodgy game and then right out of favour

Suspect he won’t be here next year either

He may go on to tear it up with another L1 side, but actually I suspect he'll be one of those players who it never quite comes together for. Has 3 or 4 clubs where fans know he has potential to be the best but fitness and form prevent him from consistently showing it.

That was all rather premature based on one excellent sub appearance.

I may be unfair here, but Elliott and Doyle look more concerned about their YouTube reel than their work rate and contributions to team performances.

I'm not sure I know what this even means.

I think Elliot thrives when he is played consistently and not in and out with cameo sub opportunities. At this point in the season, I don’t think anyone knows what our best team is. Over the last two seasons, it has largely picked itself.

I think our goal on Saturday is one of my favourites in a while. Just a really quick, well worked move to manufacture a clear chance. The sort of goal you see on MOTD regularly and which a PL fan wouldn't bat an eyelid at, but which is rare at this level.

Much more satisfying than a Wing screamer.

great pass from Savage followed by a very sweet ball from Ritchie followed by a clinical finish Marriot. Very nice goal. Midfield still looks leakier than a sailors arsehole though.

And yet his best performance was a sub appearance vs Bolton, followed by three league starts in a row which were at best mediocre and in one case dismal.

Take your chance or lose it, seems not unreasonable in this case.

I had a feeling there was another class team goal I prefered, but now no idea what it was. And looking back at the league highlights, can't find it, so maybe I was dreaming. Cup game maybe? Or a shot that didn’t go in?

2nd goal in the League Cup v Wimbledon?

I'm not convinced Elliott is fully fit (or is managing some sort of minor injury).
