We’ll probably release him in the summer so I think bringing him back in January will be a last resort anyway. Axel is learning his trade.......Elphick is a mature defender.....one will eliminate an error a game, the other is unlikely to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate that but every player will make mistakes so it’s wrong to single out his error against Birmingham after he apparently played so well in the previous 10 games. Im not saying he is a good defender. But I think he is adequate for this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of fans love to see them lose but I personally couldn’t care less what they are doing. They are too insignificant to care about. We must beat them to get back in the promotion race. They must beat us because that’s all that matters to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not adequate as a starting centreback for a team supposedly fighting for promotion. (imo) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now now. Total waste is over the top. He did after all give us this. However the remainder of the time here was probably a waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Tommy is like that lad who shows up in most offices every once in a while. He talks the talk, he's confident, outspoken, he has an air about him that he is going to get on. Everything about him suggests he knows what he is doing and he is fully capable. Happy days. A month later you realise that for all the talk and appearance he's **** useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not been privvy to his games at Hull.....but a centre half has to be reliable above all else......maybe if i saw his games at Hull, I would have a different opinion. Personally, he looks a bit ungamely for me( I like to see tidy work)....not something, I like in a player....just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Elphick has looked monumentally shit almost every time he has worn a Villa shirt. Leave him in Hull, I think he is wank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 He's been playing well at Hull, but he did make a very bad error for Che Adams first goal on the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players just cant handle pressure to play for Villa. Gary Gardner looks good at this level but never once for Villa maybe Elphick is the same 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A month later you realise that for all the talk and appearance he's **** useless. Apart from the fact he's been the standout defender for Hull this season and Bruce canned him after his best game in which he scored. Regardless of him being a starter or not he needs to be recalled it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hull's best defender. Great. He is shite, and for the 2 wins at the start of the season he was all over the shop and made numerous unforced errors and bad passes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 As he can be recalled in January does anyone know if that means he could play for us against QPR on January 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
