Regarding yesterday’s game what would have been Elliott’s position be regarding loyalty/tactics.
Would he have given the management team the complete low down on Norwich’s set up, players etc.
Whilst I appreciate we have our own scouting team analysing every kick going into every little detail.
Its small things that make the difference, so would he have given us anything?

We all know the situation re not playing against parent clubs but is it contractual they cannot disclose any information about the setup, after all it would be very difficult to police and the other side of the coin is he will under normal circumstance being going back to the them, we are after all only borrowing him so does he not tell us nothing.
How does it work?

Equally he could have told Norwich all about Hyppia's genius tactics.

Exactly. Five minutes watching the full backs plus thirty seconds heading practice ought to have done it.

I am guessing had he played it could have been like school cricket where each house team had to supply three fielders for to opposition that could not bowl or keep wicket.

The amount of dropped catches was alarming.

The cricket analogy is a good one. I had that experience once where I was 12th man and the opposition were a player short. I played for them and can assure you I worked my socks off! Nothing would have given me more pleasure than to beat my mates!

I can't see there being anything contractual in it.

Equally, I've always considered Elliot Bennett to be quite the gentleman, and extremely professional. I can't imagine for one second that he's the type of footballer for whom this would even be an issue.
