rodders0223 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Looks like a pissed up 55 year old in the pub car park at chucking out time. I feel embarrassed for the lad. Edited September 24, 2016 by rodders0223 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Shit! I'd have Clark back over this clown. Great idea by all involved to spend so much on attacking players, but next to **** all on the defence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 He is shit ! I never wanted him, couldn't understand the hype, leader my arse. the guy is a spent force even at this level. I want to be proven wrong and have these words rammed down my throat. Hopefully he will be first player replaced if/when we go up as he would get slaughtered in the Prem. This is not based on the og today. I've held these thoughts since day one but gave him a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Will give him the benefit of the doubt. We have looked generally solid this season, no idea what happened today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic_bouma Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 It's not looking good is it. Seems like another impulsive brainless twonk of a defender who likes to shout a lot to cover up his weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not helped by playing in a three at the back system where nobody knows what they are supposed to be doing though. I think that was the main reason, three at the back that hadn't played together in that formation before. Chester suddenly on the right hand side and Elpfick given some old sweeper position. It looked so much better in the second when we reverted to a back four, and then we even still had Bacuna in that back four... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Ability wise he is just an old fashioned centre half who should be lumping it into row Z, yet despite this he plays like he think he is Beckenbauer - trying to do complicated things on the ball, go past players and spread it around. He really takes so many unnecessary risks on the ball when he should be doing the simple stuff instead. He really is a perplexing player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Seems very hit and miss, I can't understand some of the stuff he does. Was the worst I've seen him in the first half but he did improve in the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) First half was One of the worst centre half performances since the days of Paul Elliott in the 80s Edited September 24, 2016 by Eastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Had a very bad game tonight, but is usually good for us. However, at this stage of the season, we need to see improvement, not regression. Over to you RDM. Ffs, manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 24, 2016 Author Share Posted September 24, 2016 First half he was absolute dog shit terrible. But i will give him credit second half he turned it around and didnt crumble so should be praised for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Elphick is a definite miss as regards transfer window success. He may well be a good professional, a great leader etc but he has been barely above ok throughtout all his games with us. He doesn't think, he tries stupid things, he slashes at the ball loads (wonder what the stat is on his sliced clearances this season) and has looked off the pace. Today was absolutely awful, I mean Curtis Davis 'Pub player' awful. Captain or not, I would be playing Chester (who's settled well) and Baker as first choice. Unfortunately Baker is made of glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I like him but he had an absolute shocker today and think he be first to admit it, still think him and Baker is still our best defense partnership though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
