Rob Elliot Goalkeeper

Yeah Darlow is number one and isn't doing too badly, Sels who was brought in has been dodgy kind of similar to Karius in my eyes, new league which he needs to get used to I still rate him

A few quotes from Rob below:

“It’s just nice to be back, nice to play a game and nice to get it right in my own head. I’d like to crack on now and get back closer to the first team and just put the injury behind me. What’s nice is that we’ve got a team playing so well and Karl’s doing really well, so if I’m waiting my turn it’s because the team’s doing well.

“I want to keep getting stronger and stronger with Simon (Smith) [Goalkeeping Coach] and really crack on in the New Year.”


 “I just thought it was typical. I conceded just before I got injured and then I conceded again without touching the ball.

“Still, that’s football. It’s a funny game. A year ago I was barely involved with the first team so to be back playing, back involved with the first team and having signed a long-term contract and being part of the plans I’m just delighted.

“I can’t thank people at the club enough for supporting me and getting behind me. It’s just brilliant that we’ve got a club where they really look after you.

“Being a bit on the outside I’ve seen the shift in the club from the outside and I’m even more desperate to be part of it. It’s a really good place to be and I just can’t wait to be a part of it again.”

Thought he may have played myself, but he is still working his way back. I'm not too sure about the Krul story asked a Dutch Ajax supporter I work with and he says that it is a non runner, current keeper is doing well  enough to keep his place (similar to say how Darlow is doing ) it was one of the reasons he didn't go to the African Cup of Nations as Krul is breathing down his neck that he is back in full training he says he expects Krul to stay and if the young guy makes a mistake between now and end of the season Krul will come in.

He didn't go because he wasn't picked, otherwise FIFA would be all over Ajax and rightly so.

But he was similar to Matip that he asked not to be picked

Darlow made a absolute howler of a mistake for Cameron's goal last night, might be time for Rob to step in

Three, even, given that Wednesday a currently occupying one of the playoff spots.

Good to hear

Very similar to that other lemon on here Gooba or gluebag whatever his name is

Another Irish  goalkeeper in the PL next season
