Anyone know what his contract situation is? Was it just a one year he signed in the summer?
If it was the club need to be moving heaven and earth to extend it, easily our best player so far this season.

I know Mowbray was impressed with him yesterday |

If it was the club need to be moving heaven and earth to extend it, easily our best player so far this season. One year deal. Bodin has been our best player this season and our most saleable asset followed by Sercombe. Ellis has just grownup realised his future was not very bright unless he put more effort in. |

Maybe the rest should grow up then because he has been our best player for a couple of months both in attack and defence and if the rest of the team put in the same shift he has been putting in we wouldn't be in the position we are in. As an aside did you see Mowbray went out of his way to shake his hand yesterday |

Fair point, Padstow.
Ellis is coveted by some bb fans too according to their forum, but more seriously is widely regarded amongst some Gas as our best, most recently consistent, most improved player.
Some see him otherwise, but I saw Ellis trying his hardest at Shrewsbury when we were done, he's repaying the faith we had in him - or just doing his job - you work out which?!

Not really sure what clicked maybe confidence boosted by being told by dc he was the best centre forward in the club or maybe he has shook off the self pity of **************** and the attacks on him for watching a game of football who knows but I think we should start talking contracts very soon |

I thought all the clubs contracts since well before ellis signed a new deal were undisclosed in terms of length?
Club policy.

Think you will find dc said he had offered most of last year's squad 1 year deals.gaffney held out for a 2 year deal but had to accept 1 year. This is in some ways motivational but in others storing up problems because players like bodin and Harrison can sign pre contract seals in January and leave for free in summer |

Fans of all clubs, Rovers included, can see how a young players form and ability can improve with time. Ellis is learning through experience and looks to have improved in all areas; athletically, mentally and skill. What we see here is a product of both the individual and DC's coaching team and it puts those fans who were publicly (and ill-advisedly) over the top in the negative comments about him. Seems a long time ago that he was shipped off to Hartlepool for a loan spell

I'm hardly surprised Ellis isn't adored, it's obvious why. Shame really.

If he was white and Bristolian and "underperformed" he wouldn't get half the stick he does. He's black and Welsh though, means he's "lazy" and has a "bad attitude". It's pretty transparent as to why that narrative follows him around. |

I think he used to be a bit lazy and had a questionable attitude - hence why he went to the Monkey Hangers. Now he's hard-working, and really hard-working in defence, and a buoyant personality that could yet develop into on-field pizzazz (which he looked to have at the end of his breakthrough season). And seems to fit well at BRFC Linesy is white and Bristolian, and has taken a lot of stick for perceived laziness over the years (and still does for his proclivity for Hollywood passes) - which I think undermines your case maybe we stand with different crowds, and as a result hear different things. Or maybe you're right. Discuss! |

If it was the club need to be moving heaven and earth to extend it, easily our best player so far this season. In my book, he's the current front-runner for player of the season. For the first 8 or 9 games it might have been Liam Sercombe, but Liam's been a bit quieter lately. Taken over the 19 League games to date, Ellis has impressed me most. |

Most gasheads have a soft spot for Ellis but the simple fact is he never scores enough goals and never will. We all wear the same blinkers as Clarke on this one.

It's not always about quantity though is it, Ellis has scored some of the most crucial goals in our history. He's a f**king legend make no mistake. |
