Otter1991 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 it was the one dimensional part of his game that we have been missing badly in the centre of midfield though This.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threshersleftboot Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I find it funny how all these people knocking elliot are the same people who use to say he had to do two mens job in midfield when Lee Johnson was here....... Thats because at the time it was true. But unfortunately hes gone downhill since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he hasn't he had a serious knee injury, You mustn't have a lot of faith in Del's judgement as he handed him a new contract in december Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't he's not match fit, but then again he didn't play for the devlopment squad last night so maybe, Who would you drop, me personally it would be skuse as pearson is knocking in the goals and I've felt skuse has gone missing in the last few games (not in the bad way just not invloved as much as he should be way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboBCFC Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Really why didn't you tel McInnes when he got a new contract then? Didn't Millen extend his contract? May well be wrong there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I fully expect Marv to be in the starting 11 tonight. Unlikely. It'll be Skuse and Pearson again. The only change I can see is either Stead or Taylor making way for Baldock to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboBCFC Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 He signed his contract extension in decemeber I'm led to believe del was appointed in october Had a quick google and can only see this one where Millen extended it over the summer? http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Bristol-City-chairman-insists-club-fund-potential/story-13147485-detail/story.html Not sure how much of a part Elliot will play this year as he's a similar player to Pearson in that they both cover a lot of ground and get forward too. We do miss his presence in more physical games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldlandReddies Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Yeah, well done Marv. A lot of doubters on here but Del clearly rates him (and he knows best) and he was just what we needed after our midfield was outplayed at the weekend. Always a big threat in the box and plays with his heart on his sleeve. Very good squad player and one that plenty of other clubs in this division would love to have.

bearded_red Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 As everybody who actually watched this club closely should know, Elliott remains an important part of our squad. McInnes clearly rates him and I simply don't understand those that have suggested otherwise. The way he treated Elliott last season (playing him when unfit etc) and the way he spoke about him when he suffered his injury and when he returned to training clearly showed that McInnes highly values him. There was an Elliott thread on here before the season started attempting to write an obituary on his time at club and at the time I suggested that he wouldn't start the season due to Skuse's excellent form at the end of last season and the fact that the manager clearly appreciates what Pearson brings to the team, but it would only take two or three losses for Marv to be the man that McInnes turned to. Well I don't want to seem smug, but... Marv, like every other player on the pitch, was poor in the first half tonight. (You would never have believed that you were watching two teams in the second tier of English football). But after the break he was more like his normal self. Getting round the pitch, breaking up play and providing us with a foundation to go and play. He also nearly got on the end of one or two excellent Adomah crosses. I can understand those that personally don't rate Marv due to his obvious limitations, or even those that fail to see the job he undeniably does for the team. I don't agree with these views, but I can see their point. But for anyone to suggest that his time at the club is numbered is simply guesswork, when all the signs would lead to McInnes highly appreciating the role that Marvin will always do for the team. After all, he always makes an issue of having players he 'can trust' and is patently obvious that Elliott would always fall into that category.

Eco Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think Monkeh was referring to the following quote from your good self. 'I said at the start of the season that Elliott would be restricted to cameo appearances this season' Last night wasn't a cameo hence you're wrong again.

Port Said Red Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Sometimes long term injuries can refocus a players mind and rekindle their enthusiasm for the game. We all saw what a fresh enthusiastic Marvin can do when he first came here, as long as the medical team have done a good job on him he could be like a new signing this season.

wayne allisons tongues Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 He's had a long term injury and has played one game against bottom of the league. Let him play 10 games on the spin and judge then, if he's still in the team he's playing well and got over his injury. If dropped he's not playing well and maybe surplus to requirements. Personally I think he's differant kind of player to what we have already and will be ok, but time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 we would of scored as our goals were created from wing play not through the middle Please stop being niave, you are usually a very good poster on here. The football we played in midfield in our three home games this season would not have been possible with Marvin in the side. The goals we scored would not have been possible because we wouldn't have had as much possession. I get that this week you're on a defending Marvin mission, but please accept he's a very limited footballer and it will never be possible to dominate possession with him playing a part in a two man midfield. He's useful, we've all accepted that, but he ain't capable of passing a ball 5 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
