Vive_La_Villa Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I do wonder why it took an injury for Elmo to get back in the team. Such a better Right Back then Hutton and it’s not like we were winning games. Edit: maybe it was more a confidence thing. He is one of those players that fans are quick to turn on when things aren’t going well. Edited April 26, 2019 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I'd play him against Leeds but consider resting him for the Norwich. Let Hutton have the send off at home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's been signed by Bruce something like 3 times for different clubs. Alot of fans on here seem to hate Bruce, and i think Elmo symbolizes Bruce for alot of them so they are maybe quicker to turn on him more so than others. I don't dislike Bruce nor do i dislike Elmo. Bruce is a good manager at this level that sadly didn't work out at Villa and Elmo is a good player at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VillaChris Posted May 27, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Unsung player of the season for me. Not a signing I'd have done or liked at the time (just though it was lazy SB signing him again) but have to say he's been a very solid player for the club. Also done well this season to bounce back from a poor December when he seemed to lose all defensive nous against Stoke and especially Leeds. Good mentality, has 1 year left on his deal and premier league experience with Sunderland and Hull so keep him around the squad. Probably the best crosser in the squad, that one for our first was a beauty. Edited May 27, 2019 by VillaChris 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Agreed has to be a squad player, at least for continuity and togetherness if anything. Another fantastic cross again, he does one at least once a game. Thanks Elmo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Yeah it was a beautiful ball. A great move on the defender by El Ghazi as well, but the ball had to be perfect and it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Excellent season, worked his socks off and has been terrific going forward for the most part, certainly hope he's kept on, good to have in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Major reason why we are were we are tonight. He was a revelation when he moved into RB when Hutton got injured. Edited May 27, 2019 by HeyAnty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwivillan Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Absolutely brilliant. One of my players of the season. What's his contract? Would definitely have him as back up next season Edit: oh 1 year left. Excellent Edited May 27, 2019 by Kiwivillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 He's been a great signing for the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted May 27, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 27, 2019 His crossing, especially in the last couple of months, has been excellent. The whip and curve he gets on those deep crosses is **** sublime. Highlight reel stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I’ve been critical of him at times this season. There was a spell where defensively he was all over the shop, allowing people to cut in from his wing. He was giving away a lot of fouls and even penalties. However, he he turned himself around and recently offensively has been very good. Another great cross for the goal. Did he get the most assists for the team this season?

WakefieldVillan Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Steady player all round, played well yesterday and provided a superb delivery for the opener, I have not seen anything of Guilbert but I do hope however he is going to be an improvement on Elmo and make the right back slot his own. Elmo for me would offer more than Adomah at RM so would definitely keep him next season as a squad player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we may need to be a bit more solid next season, and try and keep the better players in the squad, I can see him on the bench a lot for RB/RW cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 We wouldn't get anywhere near promotion if we had stuck with Hutton. Thank you Elmo you've been so consistent the last months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
