    Elliot

    Very poor distribution from him again today. Practically kicking the ball straight ti the Soton players, on our half.

    I'm starting to think he'll never pick up this part of his game.

    yeah its making me nervous watching him, flapped at the early cross too. No wonder Rafa wanted a new keeper

    In his 30's - old dog and new tricks come to mind.

    I think we'll be back in for a keeper in Jan.

    It's a shame as I like his attitude and I think all other aspects of his game have improved.

    Agree, though-Rafa was very keen on a 'keeper in the Summer and I'm not sure he'll have changed his mind.

    I've never rated him.

    great lad, but nothing more than half decent as a keeper.

    Aye - you can´t fault his attitude and I think he´s a good shot stopper generally but we need better distribution and aerial command at this level.

    Seems we are getting outdone with players running across the box and shooting - Shaquiri and now Gabiadini. Not saying this is Elliot´s fault (although he could´ve done better with Shaquiri´s) but it´s something that needs looking at.
