The best strike partnership we had here at town for ages? Scored what 43 goals between them, and Liam never scored in his first 10+ games. Elding was on bench for first 15+ games. And never really got there partnership going until what October, November?
Hearn 28 and still not finished.
Elding 15 and still not finished.
We love both to be firing here together next season.

Yer very good point, i tend to forget the both had very slow starts, i remember at the start of the season Elding was getting absolutely slated and became known for missing sitters and was braded by a few a waste of money. I admit i didnt think he could hit a barn door ealrier in the season, but what an asset he's turned out ot be and now the fans love him! He is an absolute work horse, great hold up player, poacher and all round striker in my eyes, perfect at this level and to put the icing on the cake, it is clearly evident from his goal celebrations/interviews that he is loving playing football for this club and the current form it has provided him with.

Elding still can't hit a barn door at times, thankfully finishes the slightly harder chances

Elding just likes to keep us on our toes, he's missed LOADS of sitters this years, and I mean loads. Get a few difficult ones and he buries him.

I Agree we have lost our way when either have been out of the team. Both work tirelessly for the tea.
Always difficult to change it around when you have such a good partnership.

Even the greatest teams would miss their star striker who's scored 28 goals.
A partnership that has proven itself like that is always going to impact on the team...

Well i cant be assed so come on then someone work out the stats it would interesting. How many games have they played together to get the goals and as someone pointed out they probably hadnt scored any goals till bloody end of september or something. I bet the ratio of goals in the partnership per games is superb

How about Elding's brilliant attempt to lob the keeper from distance early on against York. If that had gone in it would have been a contender for goal of the seaon. Fantastic vision ans skill.

or alternatively, as this is how i saw it......what about Elding wasting that opportunity by not realsing the space he was in and shooting too early....funny old game!!  |

Yes Moosey two sides to everything, but he made a decision and went for it. It depends whether you a glass half full person or a glass half empty person. Half full for me every time!!

A poor decision by Elding to attempt the lob, for me. He could and should have run clean through on goal rather than attempting a difficult lob from the edge of the box. You've got to back yourself to beat the keeper on a one-on-one given the opportunity to do so.

I dont think Elding would back himself one on one with the keeper. I definitely wouldnt!

I like Elding but would you swap him for Shaw at Gateshead? If the answer is yes, then we should sign Shaw next season. As one of the biggest clubs outside of the football league then we should be signing the best of the rest.

Wrong decision imo,why would you try lob a 6ft odd keeper from 18 yards out when you are clear on goal  he makes a lot of wrong decisions cost us a point against york and could of cost us more if townsend wouldnt of scored the free kick against fgr (penalty miss). i do admire his attitude though he clearly wants to play for gtfc. |

Honestly some of you lot on here are absolute jokers..all you seem to want to do is sit and wait for mistakes from players etc, and come on here shouting excrement.A player wants to be here, show great passion for the club gives his all week in week out, always the first to encourage other players etc yet he's crap, makes wrong decision ie try to score a lob when clearly the keeper was just infront of the peno spot. Obviously some don't understand or see the bigger picture.. It was great awareness which was finger tips away from being executed..now talk of would you swap him for shaw? Why? Because shaw has scored more goals? Elding has played 30 odd game scored 15 not bad in my reckoning 1 in 2...and he has the attitude and passion FOR THE CLUB to go with it.. Yeah misses chances so does the best players in the world.. Before elding signed, an someone said he would run his absolute balls off for the club, show great passion for the shirt and score 15 in 30 odd games- 1 in 2.......would we have taken it... A BIG FAT YES....so stop moaning about the misses etc and appreciate what he actually does for the team..

think i would have to agree with this..should concentrate on what he acttually does for the team rather than what he dont..this is a football forum and thats what fans do.. |

I dont agree. We've hit a sticky patch and lost out on promotion in the process. After seeing us against Cambridge I genuinely thought we'd make the playoffs but we're still some way off. These missed chances are things we need to put right for next season.

; Myself I said last season top 10 this would be ok been as we were in rebuild but any thing else would be a bonus and I still stand by that to get out of this league a club as to build and weeded out any week links and be selfish just like crawley and fleetwood then when we are out we may lighten up a bit. So Iam going to keep believing because thats all we have at least we are not like lincoln their fans have just about given up I can see them folding all together I have heard from a good source that a builder as already got plans drawn up and in a safe stashed ready for the day.UTMM IN YOU WE TRUST

Wasn't fit at the start of the season - simple as. That said I think he's a bit over-rated - anyone would think he's in Hearns class. Another top quality striker next year to push him (and Duffer) for that place please. |

bit over rated? you dont be a pro for what 13 years if your not any good, if he was over rated then he would have been found out and not have had the career he has... o yeah just because theres a few saying bad things about elding, you soon jump on the bandwagon AS USUAL..and in the same breath the name duffy is always mentioned... 1 duffer as you say will be gone next year. 2 elding takes 25% wage cut to stay, so he certainly aint playing for the money.. and could really toss it off if he wanted but i think he far from does that.. |

Not talking about that, I mean he's clearly being hero-worshipped in some quarters of the fishy.
o yeah just because theres a few saying bad things about elding, you soon jump on the bandwagon AS USUAL..
Boo hoo I gave an honest opinion so I'm a Elding hater am I ? The only bandwagon I'm on is GTFC. Fans like you make me laugh - you talk about bandwagons but the slightest bit of criticism, it's toys out the pram time and a load of BS personal innuendo and finger pointing. Personally, I think it's fans like YOU who are to blame for our demise - by apologising and making excuses for every reallity you can't deal with you're lowering expectations for everyone. No fookin wonder the players haven't rolled up their sleeves and taken the p*ss for god knows how many years - they've got all the pre-prepared excuses they need !
and in the same breath the name duffy is always mentioned...
And your point is what exactly ? By making a flippant joke I love him ? Or I hate him ? Get a grip man.
1 duffer as you say will be gone next year.
Never said that but you might be right. But like Hurst says it's good to have other options. Personally I think we can do better than both but hey, don't mind me, I'm just into promotion more than player worship.
2 elding takes 25% wage cut to stay, so he certainly aint playing for the money.. and could really toss it off if he wanted but i think he far from does that..
You're far too quick to leap to assumptions. Never said Elding should leave. And if we're getting 25% off that's good news, just saying we could do with more competition. Are you against that ? Or do you need to check if competition for places is ok with King Anthony first ? Anyway, what makes you think it's gonna be cuts next season ? |

Oh really, like what ? Saying he should go ? Never said that did I ? So what then ?
who you gonna get with better pedigree than anthony for the wage hes taken? and the track record hes got?
Difficult to answer - don't know how much he's on. Good track record I don't disagree. |

Mind. Blown. I love Elding, he's been brilliant here BUT. Just because Hearn hasn't got his breakthrough til now doesn't mean he's not a better player. Elding failed spectacularly at Leeds and only really achived anything in terms of goals at Stockport. Oh and Hearn not got a better ratio than Elding in his career? Your wrong in that mate I'm almost sure, I'll work it out soon. On your wise summary Jamie Vardy is not as good as Elding. Any ex league striker is better than any late up and coming player. Absolute stupid statement and determental to all brilliant late starters in the game. |

Anthony Elding 362 games - 116 goals. Which is a goal every 3.12 games.
Liam Hearn 187 games - 110 goals. Which is a goal every 1.7 games.
Probably best to not try undermine our best player and be spectacularly wrong in the process.

WLLW - ended
still like to see him in the team tho 
he makes a lot of wrong decisions cost us a point against york and could of cost us more if townsend wouldnt of scored the free kick against fgr (penalty miss). i do admire his attitude though he clearly wants to play for gtfc.
