Robbie Elliot
 

On loan Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Rob Elliot will remain here at Accrington Stanley till the end of the season.

The 19 year old shot stopper joined us at the beginning of December, and is sure to be a key member of the Stanley squad in the second half of the season.

TAKEN FROM THE OFFICIAL SITE!!!

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

wonder how they decided between him and darren or was the choice made by charlton I wonder. Good luck for the season Robert :D :D you'll do us proud I'm sure

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Shame Darren won't be back but it is great news never the less, as is hereford going to st james's park and beating exeter 2-1 tonight :)

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Bit off topic but,

Anthony Elding has been told by his manager Westely he wont play for Stevenage again, do you think he is worth a try? Good striker and can guarantee goals...

overpaid primadonna.......with bad hair.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Apparently he's in talks with Exeter already.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

It's the best news we could have had that Rob Elliot will be with us for the rest of the season.

After the Boxing Day game I was having a drink with a young friend of mine, Matthew Sewell who's a good 24 yr old amateur 'keeper in Halifax.

Matt watched Rob Elliot from the Bus Depot end (oops, sorry, the South Stand) at the Shay and was mightily impressed.

He told me that everything that Rob did, his whole persona, his body language and his command of his territory, was redolent of a particular goalkeeper - Peter Schmeichel. And this from a committed Shayman !

Rob Elliot is surely our key signing to get Stanley back into the League outright. I don't know how it was negotiated or how much it cost to get him, but I'd just like to thank ASFC's Directors and Staff for giving us the finest possible New Year present !

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

yeah also he has an ace throw on him he could probably get it to the other side of the pitch to set up a counter attack with his arm

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

That's right, Keyco.

And , believe me it was remarked upon by several Halifax supporters.

Both 'keepers had a good game on Boxing Day, but in the case of Town it was an exceptional performance by their bloke, whereas for Stanley it was just another good day at the office !

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Shame about Darren but Im sure he enjoyed his time at Accy and perhaps is a bit envious of Rob!! A valuable addition to the squad. Well done all at the club who were involved in getting his signature right until till the end of the season - its just what the back 4 and the side need - a permanent, regular keeper... :thumbsup:

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

yeah we can thank the club but the only reason we got darren and rob is because of andy dibbles contacts with other clubs

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

So A Big Thanks To Andy Dibble Too :D

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

an Officer AND a gentleman

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Brilliant that Rob's staying but I can't helpfeeling sorry for Danny

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Im sure Danny will get his chance, he's had some bad luck with injuries.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Such great news. He looks very solid indeed, hopefully he wont get injured.

I take it Charlton cannot re-call him?

Id have to agree with the comment about Alcock.

feel so sorry for him as i believe hes got the ability to be stanleys number 1 in the near future, and i feel he wont get the chance now.

I take it his deal expires at the end of the season?

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

Im so glad he staying, a good solid young keeper who made some good saves against Halifax yesterday

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

yes i think charlton will be able to re call him with like a weeks notice but wouldnt see why as he is gaining experience whilst he is with us rather than being in the reserves

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

maybe, southport have made a bid for the guy...Plain cheeky or ambitious?

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

I thought he was suposed to be football league standard, so why would he go southport?

Dont think southport will be offering high wages to tempt him, will they?

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

I think the bid was to take Elding on loan.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

to be honest i dont think he would even play reserve football considering they have got .......


1. Dean Kiely
2. Stephen Andersen
3. Thomas Mhyre
4. Darren Randolph??

and i think that they are all fit.

article shows we were interested in signing elding....he chose kettering finall over a host of other teams.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

just like Twiss, Elam etc etc

disgrace to football choosing money over ambition.

Re: Robbie Elliot
 

glad we missed out if we were interested. Elding, Twiss long gyppo hairstyles money over ambition, maybe a pattern developing. Mully could do with a new cut
