I do think the comparisons with Elliott in terms of game time do look weird. It’s not all about stats and there is some value in how his efforts have helped Cash in being really good this year.
But, he’s played 14 games for us and has 1 goal and no assists, and being honest if you’ve watched most of his games those stats look fairly reasonable. He hasn’t created a load of chances that have been missed. That is obviously nowhere near good enough and I’m pretty sure had Elliott been given an opportunity his output would have been better - even in the right forward role. It might have had an impact defensively, but there are some games, like last night, where it could have been tried.
Now, hopefully it’s all about settling in and there’s much more to come. But at the moment his output is way short of what is needed.
