Looks like a confident young lad and don’t he just love to get the ball and run with it.Could be unplayable at this level but will also get a few ‘welcome to division 4’ tackles.At least he doesn’t have to face that terrible thug team Ben Garner keeps on about though.

Creative with an eye for goal. Looks VERY promising. Strong, skillful, good range of passing to unlock defences and an eye for goal based on this evidence. Seems to allow himself the extra time on the ball that the best creative players can.
I just wonder if he is too similar to Anthony Evans?
It may be that he is competing with Nicholson and Thomas for game time, rather than Evans or Finley.
Can also play in a wider role like Thomas or Nicholson 👍

Seems the majority rate him. Very surprised they have five pages on him since he's only played one and a teeny bit times for them. Perhaps he's a bit of a gem in the making and Newcastle fans watch their young prospects as eagerly as our very own Pirate. Thought they were all Berty Big Bollocks who only comment on players with transfer fees over £10m. I'm so judgemental.

Perhaps we should follow the South Americans and just refer to the Andersons as "Harry" and "Elliott" to avoid any confusion? Might sign Gerry Anderson ....thunderbirds are go!

Didn't allow himself to be bullied by the league 2 cloggers. Comfortable on either foot. Excellent the lad scored his first league goal in front of the travelling gasheads. (that's if it's his first!?)Looks a real prospect, enjoy him while he's here!

Don't think he's good at all, Newcastle Utd if you are reading this you may aswell get rid while you can, I suppose we could sign him just as a favour

Apparently, according to JB’s post-match presser, the lads in the team have taken to calling Elliot Anderson “Billy Elliott” - that’s an easy song right there . . .

"We knew the quality we were getting with Elliot. Billy is what they’re calling him, for Billy Elliot, Geordie boy, a bit of a ballerina. It’s starting to stick now as a nickname. That’s a sign of where the group is at with him.
"He’s been a real bonus. We were trying to get a player that we thought would improve the quality of the squad but that didn’t materialise. Ok
"We ended up taking Elliot quite late in the window, and if I’m honest he’s much better than the player we would have taken. Sometimes, as I say, the sun shines on the righteous and today I thought our lads came of age in the blustery conditions."
Who do we think Joey is referring to? He said last week before the Mansfield game that they had outbid on us on some players. My hunch is we wanted Matty Longstaff but they outbid us and we ended up with Elliot Anderson instead?

Really enjoying watching him play, quality with the ball at his feet running at players, good passer and has a goal in him. We have some good loans this season.

Callum camps Ah yes, you could be right. Although Mansfield did say that Longstaff was supposed to be going somewhere else but that didn't materialise so they got him at the end of the window. Who knows

He is the closest thing to Jamie Shore that we have had since, his mercurial talents were lost to our club.
