Current Player #5 Elliott Moore

Our thoughts go to Elliott Moore and his family at this very sad time.
 
The likes of Long and McGuane are (rightly) getting a lot of plaudits at the moment, but a word for this man. Like other 'secondary' OUFC CBs before him, has moved into the right CB slot after initially being shunted into the left and has been utterly imperious. Didn't lose a header all game yesterday. Massive massive credit to him, especially after the events of the summer.

I wouldn’t say he’s been utterly imperious, he’s been shaky at the start of the season, coinciding with our poor start, but he’s definitely getting better (ever since getting the captaincy really) and yes was very good against Plymouth.

Atkinson has been better than him so far this season however.
 
Although Plymouth's first goal was down to him
Arguably though, because after Moore’s pass was intercepted the goalscorer ran towards goal on McGuane’s blind side, wasn’t tracked back and had a free shot on goal. Not maligning McGuane because he had one of his best games for us but he looked the nearest to the scorer as he ran through on goal.
