Young, less experienced and you forgot an important word "better". Anyways, you're wrong on saying he's less experienced , aren't you? 

Depends if by experience you focus solely on the number of first team appearances or include career games and years on the clock

True.  8th - 18th. 

You're entitled to set your hopes wherever makes you comfortable man 😊 that's the beauty of football.

You're right, I was being ludicrous. 14th- 18th😉

Is Branthwaite available for Saturday btw? Didn't see it mentioned on the club website which is unusual.

Well you said he's younger, so what did you mean by experience? I would say first team experience, including playing Premier League games would put him ahead of Carter. It shows he is ahead abilitywise anyway, doesn't it?

Yes, according to Sharpe.

But come May Ayala will still have 2 years to run and a dodgy injury record and Wharton will be barely half way through his absence with serious injury. Williams, Bell, Nyambe, Douglas, Braithwaite and Bennett all on their way meaning at least 6 decent defenders needed in the summer. 2x RB, 2x LB and 2x CB.

But I know..I know...and I am under no illusions. Given all the unsatisfactory crap with the squad, this loan deal helps a little-if only in the short term

The comments from Everyon fans are glowing

@roversfan99 and @JHRover may need to turn their frowns upside down 🤣

Im not sure they could have gathered too much from 4 games to have such a glowing opinion to be fair.

I dont have any issue with loan players necessarily, I am full of praise for the Elliott signing. I am just skeptical that an 18 year old loanee with such little experience will make a significant difference in getting that goals against column down.

Lets wait and see.

Doesn't matter who is in defence. What matters is who is in the dugout.

In fairness, you don't need 6 decent defenders to replace that. Bell, Douglas and Bennett are not decent defenders for us. Mixed opinions on Williams.

Of course you would know after 4 games at that level. You would know after 30 minutes.

And this is it basically.

This Everton kid might be class but this one player, in this one position isn't going to resolve much, short term or long term.

The players at our disposal are largely irrelevant when the man in the hot seat can't set them up or use them correctly.

[Bbrovers2288]

Personal view is that we are a move too late for the Everton lad, we should be looking at the Carlisle perm transfer to benefit us  rather than the one that benefits Everton who have  his contract

I have never seen a single person on here praise Douglas and Trybull, quite the opposite in fact.

With good reason!

Defender's ARE coming!

As a squad player I think we have missed him - gotta say he is a better right back than Buckley.

Thats true but would he have ever have turned down Everton to come here i think not.

Reading his rise from Carlisle youth to the Premiership - it reminds me of Jones meteoric rise at Rovers. Lets hope his improvement continues at Rovers - if it does both clubs will benefit.

So you prefer Buckley at right back - each to their own.

At least Buckleys mistakes didn't lead to goals.

The same can't be said for Bennett and Douglas.
