Maybe not but it's the best game Elmohamady has had for us so far

In fairness we are in "highest mountain in the Netherlands" territory there.

Elmo's been really good for us all season in my view.

My view of him has probably been tainted by the bloke who sits next to me on the Lower Holte, who loathes him with a rare passion.

oops I sit in the lower Holte, and I have been known to vent my frustration at Elmo in fairness though my mates do try to point out the err good stuff he does, so if your in the lowerright side , my apologies.

And me.  I don't think he's good enough to be on the wing any more, but then we don't really need him to be.  He's a better, more balanced right back than Hutton, although Hutton is better at left back anyway.  He's worked really well with Snodgrass, and after a bit of a shaky start, has been pretty consistent.

I think that's about the most positive thing we've said about a full back in a long time.

Consistency in a positive way is what you want isn't it?

I think he's been very average, I don't think he's added a great deal but he's been a reasonably solid 6-7 out of 10 which is probably good enough for a full back in this league.  I'd still have preferred it if we'd used the wages to get a decent left back but Hutton has done a good enough job there to make up for that.

Pretty accurate assessment

Yes, absolutely.  And he's got 5 assists, which isn't too shabby.

He's like most of our squad, decent/good Championship players and good enough to get a team into the play offs. Would be embarrassed and shown up in the Premier League though.

I think it was a sensible move bringing him in. Bruce knew exactly the type of player and person he was getting and I can't think of too many games where he's let us down.

Round talked a really good game at the Trust AGM about how they go large on profiling character in scouting and recruitment now.
