Maybe. Or maybe he's just showing the right sort of attitude and application in training etc. to warrant tbe starts.
Said on the radio the MS and Ellis had some sort of brotherly moment when he was substituted.
Could be that working hard together is paying off.

Could well be, certainly hope so can only benefit us.

Or......maybe got a few FANTASTIC strikers at the moment who love to play for the team, and like going up the leagues together. UTG!

To be fair, Taylor has been dropped at certain points over the last two years. Its not as if he's been an ever present every week.
Suspect he will start Saturday.

Darrell likes to tinker and I say that respectfully. I think it's more to do with the amount of games that we've played early doors (quite big games too) and keeping the strikers fit/rested particularly as Matty didn't have a full pre-season.
Personally love the fact Ellis is getting game time tho as he's always been a favourite of mine. UTG

Me too. I realise that I'm risking a 'cool story, bro' but I met Ellis when he had just signed his first contract with us, when he was about 17. I was living in Newport at the time and a friend of mine knew his family and we happened across him walking down the street. I wished him well with the Gas and he was buzzing over getting the contract. He came across as a nice guy but as daft as a brush (nothing's changed there!) and I've wanted him to succeed ever since.
