Well said Charlie.

Macdonald has scored 6, Poole 5 and Elder 4.

Elder is our second best striker. Nough said. Give they guy some credit.
The three guys above are the ones who can take us out of this division. Complaining about Elder is ridicoulous. He is a battling ram up there and give the defenders a hard time during 90 minutes. Who else could do that in the current squad? Who else do it better in this league??

Keep going Nathan!!

Now that would be hard to mark...those horns could do you a mischief! ;)
 

Nathan Elder

Now signed a contract extension, for a further year, which I think is very good news, time to develop the beast!

Half decent defenders find him easy to mark as he's so predictible and he goes missing in games. I think if we had other options to partner Charlie I could see him banging in 20+ this season.
We have a rock solid defence until Rochdale then we lose the most talented centre back the club has ever had, IMO he's better than Turner, Ingamarrson and Sodje, but we'll have to do without him after Rochdale and it will be time for Mr Elder to do what he's paid to do....score goals..

Not yet... IMHO

tho i do wonder if that isn't a response to intelligence that a club's planning on coming in for him...
 

Nathan Elder

Great news. He is one of our best players and is always improving. Just needs to be a bit more consistent. But very good news!
 

Nathan Elder

Will be a Brentford Legend in years to come.

and will be out first player ever to be sold for over £1,000,000
 

Nathan Elder

Hermann Hreidarsson ?
 

Nathan Elder

Hmm, so how much did he go for?

OK...... Elder will be our first player to be sold for over £2,000,000
 

Nathan Elder

Wikipedia reckons 2.5 mil - can a statto confirm ?
 

Nathan Elder

My final prediction:

Jan 2011: Man City buy Nathan Elder for 3.2Million from Championship Promotion faviroutes Brentford.
 

Nathan Elder

I think Nathan Elder is just what we need up front as it gives us another route without him we would have Ochoa and Ademola or Williams none which provide such an outlet like Nathan Elder
 

Nathan Elder

If anyone went to the aldershot game you would of seen how at war we were up front in the first half because we only had mac and marvin upfront but when nathan came on he gave us something to aim at.
 

Nathan Elder

And i dont know if connel would give us that effect he plays mac role.
 

Nathan Elder

How many times over the last 30 years have we seen teams come to GP and beat us on their way to promotion, and we all walk away saying why cant we have players like that. Nearly all of these teams have a nathan elder in them. If you look at it from an opposition fans point of view they just see him battering them for 90 minutes running them ragged and creating openings.

The only thing with NE this season is he clearly is struggling to get fit after the summer operation. Last season he was awesome as he charged around up front winning every header and he looked super fast and fit. This season he looks a bit leggy and that is down to fighting to get over his operation and missing pre season.

Look at WW, they are top (I know they have been lucky and will get found out soon) but they have the genius matt harrold up front who has managed 1 deflected goal all season. I would take NE any day the week over MH.

Yes i agree and they have also lost Scott McGleish who was one of there best players last season him and Torres were the best players they had last season.

Nathan Elder is a very very raw player who needs to be given time , games ,experience whatever you wish to say before he can be blamed,judged ,accused .he has come from out of nowhere and we are blaming him for things that he shouldnt be blamed for .come end of the season if he hasnt cut the grade then lets start blaming him for whatever you wish to ,till then give the guy the credit he deserves.Andy Scott i personally think this is your best signing for the club you have made
 

Nathan Elder

Bloody hell cas. That's a bit sensible. :eek:

Nice.:cool:

Agree with the 'player needs time' part!! Ashame Bees fans haven't done that over the years. The amount of time I have heard cr@p shouted at young up and coming players it's mad. I do find it strange how some players are given more time then others though. One of the best examples I can remember was Marcus Bent and what about Leon Constatine, he was never given time, he was just as 'raw'.

I really do hope Elder proves me and a few others wrong. And I will be supporting him during games, like I do all Brentford players who give there all for our club.
 

Nathan Elder

Good to get NE signed up imo, but I believe there is some confusion about his age. I think he was born in April 85 and will be 24yo when the new contract expires so could walk for free.

He has not looked fully fit to me this season - not to say he hasn't contributed fully, just that hopefully there is more to come - & if this is down to the after effects of the op, it may be useful for him to have a couple of games out while Bowditch is here.

It will be interesting to see how Bowditch fits in as he is not a like-for-like replacement for NE, & my big worry for the season is the overall lack of physical strength in the squad. At present only NE has that real strength & we often perform poorly against physical sides wherever they are in the table.

That was me :wave:

I read August 87 somehwere, according to this it's April 85, which would allow him to walk if he wants :(
 

Nathan Elder

Agree,

Howver, it will be interesting to see if AS can get them to change tacticas, somewhat, no Nathan so no point in attempting to play balls in the air for someone to try and knock on. Most of the oppos centre halfs have been big and slow and I'm sure that Charlie and Bowditch will have the skill and pace to outwit and outrun if we find them with balls to feet.
If this happens we will for the first time have options and not come to rely on Nathans presence.

More important than the individuals up front for me will be the ability of others to supply decent passes to whoever plays up front.
 

Nathan Elder

Any news on his injury?

Listening to the game at Chester it sounded quite bad.
 

Nathan Elder

In Keith Hill's press conference today he said he thought the game was much easier for them because Elder wasn't playing.

Didn't get an exact quote but he said something about most teams in the division needing a plan for Elder and it being easier for him and his team that he didn't need to find a way to stop him :shrug:
 

Nathan Elder

Can anyone who has slagged NE off please tell me what they see when he isn't involved?

I've sen us be fairly crap at Luton, awful at Aldershot and fall into a hole at Chester. Then I saw us today and I sort of like it when he is in our team.

Yep, it was along the lines of him being our battering ram and him being very relieved Elder wasn't playing.
 

Nathan Elder

Totally understand what your saying about lack of power up front, but can't see how him playing would of stopped them scoring, and the link up play between Mac & Deano (and he's only been at the club a day or two) was better then when Elder partners Mac.

So what does AS do? Three up front??

West Ealing Bee said:
And that contract will expire when he is 22, so he can't walk for nothing :sorted:

Excellent if it were true but unfortunately he will be 25. Nathan is a colussus and if we had more goalpower in centre mid his knock-downs (allied to his likely goal tally of around 15) would make him even more valuable to us than he is already. Nathan Elder - top man!

These yellow cards are becoming a joke, yesterday's was a load of bollox but how many more times am I going to say that?:(

Quite a lot I'm afraid :(

Problem is anyone who tackles with big Nath is probably gonna come off worse & that's what most refs appear to see - never mind, at least we :love2: him :sorted:
 

Nathan Elder

How did he miss THAT chance today after Dickson's mazy run.............
 

Nathan Elder

frustrating isn;t he !!

but an essential part of our team.

He'll 'click' soon!
