I said last season that he should get some games and some sub appearances this year, and was informed by someone else with God-like authority that he was years off that. Well, he isn't. When you get someone at that age with skill and pace, you can get two phases of their development - the first is just feeding off their complete lack of fear and their drive to impress; then the later phase is when they've strengthened and grown more tactically aware. But you don't keep players like that away from the action, as if they're a banana ripening slowly in a bowl. Treat them carefully but start easing them in.  He's too exciting to ignore.

Elliot looked a special player this time last year.  Until people started expecting him to be performing consistently week in week out.

 

 

Elliott looks a much better player in these bit part roles where he gets minutes and improves his all round game. He's being managed well this season.
