He’s playing as one of two number 8’s whereas he was wide left for us. I’m biased but he’s the best player on the pitch at the moment. Must be confusing for the commentators

I watched most of the game and he was pretty good, just kept things simple. I did notice how deep he was coming to get the ball, and didnt seem to want to take players on like he did for us. Still think he is best out wide left getting chalk on his boots though. Maybe wrong, don’t feel he’s quick enough to lay wide at prem level. Obviously different tonight but you need pace to play wide in attack. Elliot doesn’t posses pace so maybe long term position is an 8 / 10

Speaking to a colleague today (Newcastle fan) he was impressed with Elliot last night and expects big things from him. He also thinks that because Newcastle will likely sign one or two more players before the end of next week, there's a good chance Elliot will go back out on loan. Probably not until deadline day and we both agreed it'll almost certainly be to a championship club!

Makes good sense: close to home and shouting out for someone like him to get them back to the Prem. He'd have two promotions on his CV as he turns 20.

Not sure the toon army would be happy about that,besides can Boro guarantee him a starting place every week ?

Can't be denied Elliot has just helped to get that equaliser. Lovely chipped pass over their defence.

Tells us all we need to know a great 10 minute or so cameo by the lad. He's going nowhere.

He doesn't look out of place on a PL pitch, to no one's surprise on here.

Good cameo performance overall. First few minutes, he was trying to hard and gave away a silly free kick. You could see Howe telling him to relax. After that he was quality. He's good at finding that pocket of space and turning with the ball. Great pass during the build up for the goal and unlucky not to win it with the header, although I think he should have scored. Then great feet on the edge of the box to win the free kick in the last minute.

Perhaps he should have scored but he was under pressure from a Wolves defender, not like the last far post header he needed to score! And tbf his performance in that last 10 minutes was very good, went at players made them foul him and could have turned a defeat into a win. Looked perfectly comfortable, as we knew he would.
UTG!

Zero chance now after yesterday's cameo, lets just hope other clubs have noticed how EA, Taylor and Thomas developed last season, then send a few more of their future stars our way.
