Guest Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Seems like Eliasson has been on fire in preseason. Set up 2 goals today, looked superb in clips of training. His potential is ridiculous. Desperately need him to sign a new deal. He can be a huge player for us this season. It's not just his crossing ability, but his consistency at getting in those quality balls, and his ability to always get balls in - which is not easy. It looks like he has put on a bit of muscle now. And will hopefully keep developing physically. Needs to come inside and score more as he could potentially score a lot imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the part of his game he'll have to improve on, for sure. But his cross to Famara at Wimbledon was a peach so he has it in him to be an attacking threat. If he can be consistently productive in the attacking third, as well as defend solidly, he has every chance of becoming our first choice Right Back.

Brownhill gained 14% over the past year. Opi Edwards has gone from a tiny little lad to a stocky terror on the wing. Gilmartin is an absolute mountain of a man. We are a big, heavy team. Those stats as said by LJ at the open training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure he will ever be brilliant going forward from full back, as he is naturally a centre back. But if he has someone brilliant ahead of him like Eliasson, then really all he has to do is work hard, go on the overlap just as a decoy to create space. Do the basics well which he can do as he is good on the ball. And he is a good crosser like you say. Rotherham fans said he whips in a great cross.

That's the main thing that changes everything for a young player is what they are like when they are physically developed. Imagine Eliasson being able to cut inside and hold players off whilst trying to get a shot on goal. If that side of his game keeps developing then he could be better than I think any of us can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't mentioned. But yes he's a big lad up close. Looks like he's naturally a little less lean than someone like Brownhill or Paterson, but he's a solid unit. As an aside he did pretty well at LB in the rained off game v Derby. I think for many of them it is a result of not only hours in the gym but also that natural maturing you go through in your early 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty strong evidence that they don't even get on the pitch when they can play as many as they want. I really like Taylor AND Watkins, as they both try their hardest. But both not good enough for where we want to be imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He specifically called us a "heavy" team and then gave those two players as examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Length of service/experience isn't a qualification in most professions. To be fair otib did a thorough research of Moore's progress to come to that conclusion - They saw him play badly a few times a few years back when he was about 19-20, mainly playing out of position at right back. What he has done since then is irrelevant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
