Anthony Elding

Quoted from mariner91

but effort alone does not make somebody a good footballer.

Quoted from slide to unlock

For someone like elding that's puts lots of effort in has had a very good career.

Prob had the best career out of our squad. In fact has you don't play for Leeds, Crewe, Ferencvarosi, rochdale and many more if all you do Is put effort in.. That helps but must have something about him..

As quoted before he's had nearly a million pound in moves to and from clubs not bad if you ask me.

Quoted from hook line and sinker

1. poor touch
2.misses sitters 9 times out of 10
3. imo opinion he doesn't link up with hearn at all,even though they played uptop together they play as 2 individuals
4.decision making isnt the best e.g giving the ball away cross field against york at home in the last seconds resulting in a away goal and win
5. for his size he isnt all that strong on the ball
6. challenges for headers and always comes off second best
7.admire his passion and effort but he runs around like a headless chicken quite a lot, wer as if you watch say doncaster in the first half pre season game they was good players everything was simple and effortless as they let the ball do the work.

anyways this is elding summed up imo, hes much like marmite love him or hate him,i'd much rather see cook in the starting 11 this season but i'd rather have elding at the club than not, he's a great professional role model and like i said his passion is second to none.utfm hope he proves me wrong!!!!!

Quoted from Stranger in the Park

How many of Hearns goals were of his own manufacture? As his partner Elding did a lot of the leg work for Hearns.The parnership proved quite fruitfull were as the new guys are unknowns and could cost us vital points before gelling and I think that everyone will agree -we need to make a good start this season.Getting on Eldings case is counter productive and I'm sure the comments will get to him and then who's to blame if Town suffer.What has to be remembered is that when Hearn wasn't scoring(quite a few barren patches) at least Elding was! As for the new strikers ,Cook has a reasonable record but it doesn't mean he'll fit in here. He looks a strong lad but as with Pearson I've not seen enough to be overlly impressed but I do have faith in S & H so will have to wait and see.

Quoted from kevikov

Its not just about linking up though, movement is every bit as important as ball control in football. If you're not moving, dragging players with you and creating the space for others to drive into then you're on the end of it all and running towards the ponny/lower findus! I like Elds, like his passion (something bradders is commended for), like his vocal encouragement and like his belief. However i do not like the fact he misses more than he scores and sometimes manages to do the easiest things completely wrong, probably why he's performing in  non league and not the championship tbf. Good squad member and will do his fair share this season. The type of player who, if not in the matchday squad will gee up the other players and push them all the way in training, ensuring those players play their very best.
