Doesnt even make the bench tonight with academy keeper Woodman even ahead of him.

Really disappointing stuff because hes miles better than Darlow and Woodman (That could change if Woodman develops well)
Really needs to move at this stage

Out of contract this summer. 

Has Elliott actually played in a competitive game for us? I know he's played a few friendlies but can't think of any competitive game where he featured. 
Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been.

He's only played four senior games for Ireland  according to Wikipedia which surprises me.

Slipped down to 4th choice, up to 3rd since Woodman went on loan, place on bench for a cup game as good as it gets. Seems to get injured after 10-15 games every time he got a decent run in the side

Fourth choice but he got a big money contract a few years ago that he's finishing off this season.

A grand keeper but gets injured loads probably because he's in very bad shape for a professional athlete

The best thing for him, might actually force him to look for regular playing time rather than wasting his decent ability.
We're decent enough..

Some truth there yeah, not sure if he had just became comfortable with picking up his wage.

I will sayinjuries didn't help him.

Obviously he was brought in as a backup to Tim Krul, when Krul got injured he became pretty much first choice in the relegation season before getting injured and losing his place to Darlow (Who I actually rate him higher then).

The Championship season Rafa brought in Sels who didn't adapt and Darlow was brought back in, Elliot I believe played 2 or 3 games during that season but again injuries meant he fell behind Darlow again.

1st season back in PL he started the season as number 1 but a mixture of bad form then the recurring thigh issue he's had ever since seen Dubravka come in as number 1.

Rafa last season told him he could leave if he wished but he still had a role in the team.

He is obviously as well quite invested in the area as he runs a goalkeeping school in North East and of course he has a young family so that has probably been one of the reasons he has stayed too.

Yeah, he should have been out of there at least 2 years ago when it became clear Rafa wasn't fussed on him. He certainly had the ability to be a good goalkeeper for a high-end Championship side; hopefully he hasn't left it too late in the day to make that happen.

Leaving Newcastle next week.

Has the 2nd most unused sub appearances in EPL history behind who was also a backup goalkeeper at Newcastle, Steve Harper.

Rob has made 68 appearances in 9 years.

To summarise - If you aren't first choice GK at Newcastle, it's best to leave LOL
