mottaloo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 If nothing else then at least he's match fit. Seems to have a good attitude. Needs must I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournmouth - promoted with them 2015. Aston Villa - promoted with them 2019?? It would appear that every 4 year cycle Elphick is part of a team that conquers promotion. He has been recalled just in the nick of time if you ask me. So he's been at the heart of 2 defences who have been promoted out of this league. It's funny how these players keep rocking up here and looked crap for us. I am confident Smith will bring him back to that kind of form. Oops, I see the Brighton promotion was to the championship not out of it, but nevertheless still a successful team.

PompeyVillan Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 He's probably the first name on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two promotions Tommy will do us proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Willing to give him another chance as needs must really, hope he proves me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Been playing well for Hull by all accounts. Always thought his attitude was fine - from memory he was pretty easily outfoxed at times. Hope and think he will start today. In his short time here DS has only played square pegs in round holes when he has no other option. Edited January 1, 2019 by hippo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Come 5pm if he has just headed in our winner while keeping a clean sheet, he will be loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 You can see he has had a run of games, he looks assured and confident. Early signs that he and Chester can can be a good CB pair. As I wrote in the match thread it's nice to he how both of them are constantly givning directions and talking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Don't think I've ever seen Elphick play confidently for us. He did well and I hope it'll continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_gary_cahill Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Very good performance by him today, I can’t understand some of the criticism of him in this thread by some, he’s a very good Championship centre back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Excellent today. Glad he is back and will suit Smith's style of football. Looked extremely comfortable in possession and solid defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2019 Decent first showing back. His diagonal balls to el ghazi were nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
