westertonjagfan Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I thought he was immense today-one of the stand outs on the park.. Wonder if Archie will play him in that position more regularly. My MOTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Definitely deserves a new deal. Great to see him & Craigen stick it up the haters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco77 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Yeah thought he was good today. Great cross for the goal. Wonder if we could turn him into a fullback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MOTM. Thought he did really well in the right wing-back role and more effective when he moved back there from midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westertonjagfan Posted May 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Think he made a very good, mobile, defender today with excellent overlap play. And, most of all, he plays with guts and passion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I thought he did really well today as well and if his contract is expiring deserves at least another year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robphil Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 May not be the most talented player ever to wear the thistle on his chest but surely one of the most passionate and determined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibberish Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Always been a stand out for me, plays with a passion and rawness which is what I like about him, I think the problem he has is he plays in that many positions he has become a bit of a utility player, nail a position and he will excel, mention for lawless the kid give his all today be a shame to let him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westend Jag Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Been critical of him this year as I don't think he has enough quality but he impressed today at right back and I like the effort the boy puts in, he deserves to be part of the squad for next year as he is useful to have around.

johnkebab71 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Still view Elliot as an impact player from the bench but he was impressive at right back. Looked more of an attacking threat than O'donnell so if he can work on the defensive side then no reason why he can't push for that place. Chances are the squad will be bigger again next season. Definitely would be offering a new deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
read'n'yell Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think if we are being serious as challenging for top six next season we can't keep players that have been a bit part in division one and this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think if we are being serious as challenging for top six next season we can't keep players that have been a bit part in division one and this year. We can't always sign excellent players, most of the time we can't, we have to buy players with potential & improve them. No-one could say Elliott hasn't improved greatly & is clearly still improving, he's worth a new deal 100%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Superb determination to shake his opponent off before putting it on a sixpence for LT to convert (beautifully). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one could say Elliott hasn't improved greatly & is clearly still improving, he's worth a new deal 100%. yes and equally so I think the same could be equally said of erskine if he is not kept on at Dundee united. The same is the case for balatoni, lawless, Fraser, banningan craigen muirhead etc which is why they should be cut some slack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm not sure why we're particularly lauding him today.Christie has all season shown he can adapt to different positions. What he lacks in natural skill is well compensated for by some improvised stuff. Just because he has no default position doesn't make him some sort of headless chicken as some of our more black & white posters try and brand him.

kennymac29 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Whilst he played well today at right back in the second half his first touch is horrible, he always has the ball at least 3-4 yards ahead of him and at right back if ur caught out then your in trouble as your usually the last line of defence. His cross was great for the first goal but I worry if he's our new right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibberish Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Kennymac who said he was our new right back u worry too much, and with regards first touch, watch his assist via first touch in hearts game, watch his first touch in long ball lost ball off piccolo today, if it was Doolan u would be singing his praises, u talk as though Archie is blind and sees different quality a to yourself, the boy plays out of his skin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartaytonspeaksfrench Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 This guy has gone from a bit of a joker to a super option. Shows what some good work in the gym and self belief can do. I hope he gets re-signed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U name 3 times he's done well, compared to the numerous times his touch is honking. He tries his best and I appreciate he does that and has limited ability but his first touch is the worst at firhill and it's something he's needs to improve. If u play right back then ur the last line of defence and u lose the ball it's a goal, simples. His cross was great I agree, however is that a right backs main job? No. It's defending. And with that touch we might get in bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
