Yes he should be the favourite. He was brought in, made captain, and the sole reason of him being here is to get us promoted. 2 months ago everyone was writing Elphick off as a dodgy 4th choice centre back.

That's because Elphick had previously played like one whereas recently he's been solid and looks the part. Why spoil that if it's working? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I think should leave Elphick in. However I'm that bothered if Terry plays although I'm prepared for the Bruce thread meltdown if he does play and we lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Can't risk him at his age. Rest up and get 100% for the run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 fine, Elphick didn't deserve to be dropped anyway, so there we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's harsh on Elphick but that's why you start John Terry. We looked so comfortable today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't argue with that although, for me, Chester has been our best defender this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Good to see him back.He and Chester slot together like they’ve been playing as fellow CMs for the whole of their lives. Can’t really believe some people were arguing Elphick should retain his place despite Terry being fit again.

Wasn't that largely based on Bruce saying in his presser that Terry had rolled his ankle in training? Anyway, great to have him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I heard Terry had a shocker in the cup so maybe wasn't fit. I would have been happy regardless of who played. But it's great to see our Captain back.

Terry is twice if not more the player that Elphick is so if his breathing is even showing signs of getting back to regular I would select him.
