MrBlack Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Put in some decent first time crosses, but way off the pace and only useful when we were on top. Needs to be the emergency option off the bench he was before Cash injury, which means Kessler has to start (or recall Guilbert). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lexicon Posted February 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's a hell of a jump up from sitting on the bench for months to having to deal with a pacey, in-form winger like Barnes. He wasn't that bad at all given his age and the average skill level he's shown over his career - made a lot of tackles and intercepted the ball etc. It was always going to be a difficult one today and Cash would definitely have struggled too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not sure what people were expecting from him. He's second choice for a reason. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Brilliant pro but should go with our best wishes end of the season. Fine for playing likes of Burnley and Newcastle but today was a little too much. I actually though he might've got sent off second half as Barnes was central and ahead of him and our other defenders were a bit behind so that would've been interesting if that happened and who we'd have stuck at RB next week.

PaulC Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Not his fault hes coming into to replace a really good right back against one of the best wingers in the league. Cash would have struggled today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It was rough at times today for Elmo. It was to be expected though really, Cash is a far superior fullback the difference in quality is huge. The Cash injury is almost as bad for us as Grealish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Elmos a nice guy and dont want to be harsh on him as he has been a loyal servant. It wasnt for a lack of effort, but age catching up with him now and certainly not up to the standard we require to progress. Wish him well for the summer but its time to move him on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's going to be another season or so before our squad depth improves. I won't hold this against elmo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yeah can't blame Elmo for anything. Hasn't been a regular, and thrown in at the deep end. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 He actually did well apart from the goals, he made some great interceptions and was positive with his passing. Of course we can't afford to have those mistakes but I back up the above that it's a bloody tough game to be thrown into at his age and lack of game time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is our biggest loss when injured, but then I'd have Cash, Targett and Watkins not far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or play for that matter? He's a good professional, but not a starter on this level and at his age. I don't mind his performance at all, and think he'll do better against Leeds.
