In my opinion we can blame him for a lot of errors, but not the goals Nottingham scored. Edited February 6, 2017 by Taxahunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker was very slow to react and God knows why Chester allowed the forest player to have such space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastie Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Elphick was the best of the three against forest in my opinion . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I think the Cb,s are missing Jed. I don't think ours naturally dominate like the Leeds 2 do.Hence they need someone in front of them. Edited February 6, 2017 by TRO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a routine save very pathetic goalkeeping. The tea lady is as much to blame as elphick was for that goal. 100% lame Johnstones fault I stand corrected and it was also Chester and not Elphick..................... but the second goal was schoolboy ballwatching in the 6 yard box ,criminal...............

Yup, typical, we get brilliant box to box and attacking midfielders, only to lose our enforcer which would allow them to play. Villa luck! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion we can blame him for a lot of errors, but not the goals Nottingham scored. In my opinion they were all at fault. Baker and Chester should both never be headering that ball but Elphick also has to cover there, he is ball watching and doesn't notice the free man. I just put it down to reaction time and being able to read the game. Too often these two attributes let him down, he is often slow thinking and it gets him in trouble. So in my opinion you can say he was at fault for the second goal, I wouldn't say to blame at all but if you watch how he reacts to the situation is isn't the best.

Villa luck! lol Yea.....I think it has scuppered any notion of balance to the midfield, yet. i think Jed is crucial to it all, but I am not foolish enough to not see his downsides. I would like to see a more mobile younger version be signed in the summer. He is at the wrong end of his career for us and we are relying on him too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted February 11, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted February 11, 2017 Another slip that led to a goal. Is this guy a total liability or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tad harsh - we limited them to one shot on target and no surprise it went in . Elphick is not a liability but maybe we shouldn't have even playing with 3 central defenders at home to a team in the bottom 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Doesn't look a good player from what I've seen. Agree 3 at the back didn't make sense today - then again a lot of what we do doesn't make sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 That sort of thing could happen to anyone. Prior to that, he was fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've been as critical as anyone towards Elphick, but I've had no issue with him the last month or so when he's played. Can't really fault him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Didn't do much wrong yesterday but has been extremely shite this season and a bad signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I'm worried his apparent positive personality & leadership qualities on and off the pitch are overriding the fact he is lacks ability and is actually shite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
