Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Rob has been recalled to Charlton today. See their website - it certainly won't be on ours!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

shame, i wonder why they recalled him... Hope coley sings a goalie quick.!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

I'm gutted!!:mad: :eek: :(

Gud luck to Rob, hope you get some first team action for the rest of the season.

Anybody seen Fearon play?

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

OH NO :eek: gutted too.

here is what is posted on the charlton website
Rob Elliot's erratic tenure at Accrington Stanley has taken another twist following his recall to Charlton on Friday.

The 19-year-old goalkeeper endured a miserable start to his second season in Lancashire, finding himself playing second fiddle to Ian Dunbavin despite the fact that last term he was named the club's player of the year in Stanley's first promotion to the Football League in 50 years.
It was only around the turn of the year that Elliot - who had signed a season-long loan at the Fraser Eagle Stadium - forced his way back to first choice for manager John Coleman.
But Elliot will be back at Sparrows Lane on Monday and he immediately set his sights on claiming ownership of the reserve-team gloves.
"To be honest, it's good to be back,” said Rob. "I missed the quality of the coaching and the facilities and hopefully I can get straight back into the reserves.
"Overall my time at Accrington was a great experience. Things didn't go quite according to plan for me this season but last season was fantastic and I'm sure I've improved my game.”
Elliot has been involved in 11 games for Stanley in the first half of the campaign, with the highlight of his season surely being the three penalties he saved in the shoot-out of a League Cup game against Carlisle United in October.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Shame, he is a fantastic keeper. His performances recently have been a shadow of last season, but I think his confidence has been severley knocked by the way the club have handled him.

It's interesting that he points to the quality of coaching as a major plus in his return to Charlton, shows how comments made in other threads about the loss of Dibble are bang on.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Good on yer Rob, I hope you go on to bigger and better things.

If you are reading this then stop now cos I'm gonna be cheeky. Rob will go on to be a successful keeper but I fear that he will have to keep a tight check on his weight because, being a big framed lad anyway, he seemed to have put a bit on after the injury this year. Didn't stop him floating through the air to pluck bullets out of the top corner though!

You can start reading again now Rob. Good luck with the rest of your career and I am sure you will now appreciate the coaching and facilities even more. Any chance of sending me the other glove to your pair? I can tauction just one can I?

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Gutted but I think we all knew it was coming - no premiership club are gonna loan out a player only for him to warm the bench of a league 2 club. Can only hope that if the fans knew it was coming then so did the club and that they're on the brink of bringing someone in, no offence to Fearo but I don't think he's quite ready to fill in for Bavs if he were to get injured. Good luck Rob - you'll definately be missed.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Wow - get a central defender and lose a Goalie. Releasing Francois Dubourdeau (or however his name is spelled) seems a bit silly now. Yes Ian has been playing well, but now we only have one keeper to cover who we all know - time to stand up and be counted Mr Fearon. On another point, good luck to Rob at Charlton. He has been a fantastic servant to Accrington Stanley and has to put up with a lot of abuse from the management of the club! Don't aim for the reserves - aim for the first team! They need all the help they can get.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Good luck in the future Rob - top player

This bloke is ,I believe,off contract.Accy needs a Kiwi connection.:)

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Pleaase don't tell me Dunbavin is going to be our number one for the remainder of thr season. Our back four is shaky enough as it stands and a lot of that, I believe, comes from their lack of confidence in Bavs.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

The thing is, our squad keeps shrinking. We're no better off now than we were before the transfer window.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Dunbavin is going to be our No.1 for the remainder of the season, Dunbavin is our No.1, Rob has only ever been on loan.

Rob has been absolutely brilliant in his time up here, can't thank him enough for his contribution last year, and it's been great seeing him coming back lately.
As has been said above, aim for the first eleven, you'll cope.

Good luck for the future, keep fit, stay lucky and keep smiling.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Shame but good luck Rob. You have made many friends up here & hope you don't forget us. You have always put on a big smile & never baulked from talking to the Stanley faithful, even putting up with some of our jokes- sorry bout the one about your shirt the other week but you knew I was having a laugh! You are still young & can move on further than reserve football at Charlton, just demonstrate the confidence & you will achieve. Don't forget to drop in when in the area.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

******!!!

think the northern water must have kept shrinking his cardigans!!! :) good luck robbie

Its now Ian Dunbavins chance to step up and prove his quality

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Anbody know how good Craig Mawson of Halifax is.
I was talking to his Grandad a bit back who said he was interested in playing for Stanley.

Good Luck Rob !

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Don't know what he's like now but he came on trial 2 or 3 seasons ago but was rejected as not good enough, he then ended up at Hereford I think

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

From what I hear a certain Mr Randolph is currently available.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

That would be great although i cant see Charlton wanting to send him if Rob has given us a less than favourable report.

In all fairness tho id say what a play Rob has been for us and if it wasnt for him last season we simply would NOT have won the league.

So a big thanks from me and im sure u will be in the Charlton first team squad soon enough

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

In todays LET, John Coleman says that Rob being recalled came 'out of the blue' and was a shock. Come of it Coley, if most of the fans could see it coming, given the fact that Rob had hardly played this season the club must have been aware that it could and probably would happen. Also says he's hoping to bring a keeper in this week - although I'll be happy if we do, I won't hold me breath

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Only to him it would seem.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

I thought some of you may want to know that a certain Danny Alcock has made the England Non-League XI..

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

LOL




ANY CHANCE OF HIM COMING BACK?

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

No


Bavs will keep the gloves... on stanley on

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Ah bless, good for Danny. The lad always had potential, just had bad luck with injuries & by the time he was fit to play we had Rob Elliott. Good luck to him

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

I'm sure I can't be the only person on here who believes that Bavs just isn't good enough. In spite of his shot-stopping abilities he does not command his area and is, I believe, one of the main causes of the defence's lack of confidence. Without another keeper I think we will really struggle to stay up. I hope I'm wrong!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

I don't think you a re wrong. Bavs has cost us games this season with mistakes that another keeper may not have made. If this carries on we will struggle.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

I'm with Oldgobbin and JEFF on this. Dunbavin does not appear to inspire the defence with confidence, they always looked more comfortable with Rob Elliot in goal.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Yes, well done Danny.

Meanwhile another one that has slipped through our fingers is sat on Walsall's bench, Bertrand Bossu, funny old game :rolleyes: .

Good luck to Dunbavin for rest of season, and Fearon if called upon.

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Stick with what we have at the moment

In my eyes, a proven goalscorer is needed more than another goalkeeper, when all ours has is a distinct lack of confidence

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

what is the point of scoring 3 if we let in 4????

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Isnt that where the new defender comes in?

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

u honestly think 1 player is the answer to our prayers???

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

If all that is wrong with our goalkeeper is that he has a distinct lack of confidence and we stick with him then we are in serious trouble

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Jeff, I think he must have meant INSPIRES a distinct lack of confidence!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Cheers for that link Jeff, just hope Rob brings his trophy back in time for this seasons presentation night :)

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

We've signed a goalie on loan from Bolton. See t'fishy site. Can't wait to hear the fans chant his name!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

How on earth is that pronounced! I feel sorry for Lee trying to fit his name onto his shirt in time for tonights game :)

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Apparently, his nickname is "Shrek", so the Ultras should be able to work something around that!

Re: Elliot recalled to Charlton
 

Shrek eh? I can see where that comes from, apparently in Polish the 'cz' in a name is pronounced as 'sh' so it'd be easy to change the last part of his surname a little. Or maybe it's just that he's as big as an ogre :)
