Nathan Elder
When you consider our lack of goals this season....and the players we have brought in...I would welcome Nathan back.....
An agreement was reached with Shrews manager Paul Simpson and the player but the Crawley board stopped the deal when they found out what Elder was earning.
was in bournemouth on a lads weekend so decided to take in a footy game while we were there. this gave me a chance to check out if what these shrewsbury fans are sayin about nathan is actually true.
the verdict...... absolutly shocking and thats coming from someone who used to love the guy at brentford just for the sheer effort he used to put in.
on saturday he cant have won more than one header and in all honesty looked completly un interested. when they got the ball to him he either fell over or passed it staright back to the opposition.
It got that bad that when shrewsbury were attacking that actually chose not to pass him the ball and wud rather have a pop from 30yards instead.
make your own judgement but from the evdience i saw he is a shadow of the player he was at brentford last year.
I really do hope he has a chance to meet you one day.
Why? It's not his fault he is trying to defend him, albeit a wee bit half hearted.
He's a decent lad and put his neck/skull on the line for us as did Spencer too, Nathan got a very decent deal for his talent and commitment. End of.
That's why Andy was well pleased to get rid. Same with Kabba, Cort, Poole, Connell, maybe Mac & Taylor in Jan. Etc.
Sorry Davee, there was a response from the Shrews fan that he then deleted. I think he called Nathan an oaf amongst other things and I was replying to that.

Nice lad, does his best, strong ... erm and a very has cosy 3 year contract - he must be laugfhing on the other side of his face!!!
Would you really be wanting that to lead your forward line for the next 3 years?
Unbelievable deal for you - for him too, as he is having a total laugh at us fans - the end of Simmo for us too due to him, I suspect.
And so be if that is his eye for a 90K striker lol.
Good luck against that horrible club on Saturday!!

Do you not think it might have something to do with the public bashing from your manager and "fans"? That's if you can call yourself fans the way you slag off one of your own players.
Elders confidence has probably been shot to pieces. Maybe if you "fans" got behind your players it would give them the boost they need to put in the performances they are capable of.![]()

yes, and let us do that to Bean, Foster, Osbooouuurne and Kabba (if he comes back)...practice what you preach

Yeah. And there's only 2 o's in Osbouuurne :yes:.
What you on about? I don't slag our players off.![]()
Good luck Nathan....![]()
Prove Shrewsbury wrong Nath bag yourself a few goals.
Good move for Nathan too I reckon. Good little club, good chance of League footy in the not too distant and he'll hopefully be appreciated a bit more there. And, he can always pop down the road to watch the Bees if they drop him for not scoring any goals.................good signing for the Dons....................

A shame he didn't do it for your lot. If you had a decent manager, a decent squad and some decent supporters things may have turned out better. :shrug:
Have fun at Burton tomorrow.![]()
You forgot 'decent ground'. It was better when the man had to go out in a boat to fetch the ball back for a throw in :yes:.

Thank ***k for that !!! Bad news is it is only a loan :-(
See they were looking for a 'lump' according to their manager - they have succeeded
They can't have seen him play this year... as a poster on our board has put it ... """ was it his ball control, his vision, his hold up play, his dribbling, his shooting, his powerful well directed heading, link up play or just that he is a total goal machine which attracted them?"""
Who knows? Who now cares!!
Great result anyway - hope he does really well (highly unlikely) and they decide to take him on full time!!
Bang 'em in Nathan
