'Ridiculous' - Cheltenham boss hails old team mate for Sheffield Wednesday comeback

Aidan Keena and Alfie May put the in-form Robins into a commanding lead and were denied on a number of occasions by the returning David Stockdale, however Aden Flint pulled one back for the Owls before a late Lee Gregory goal earned a point for Darren Moore’s side.

Wednesday had struggled to get a grip on the game until the latter stages and Eliott felt his side deserved to win a match that at one point looked like it could fall foul to the weather.

Elliott did though have a word for one of his old team mates for his part in the Wednesday comeback.

Elliott spent a season and a half at Bristol City where he played alongside Flint and the headed goal was all too familiar to the Robins boss.

“I am proud of the performance and I thought we were excellent for the whole game,” Elliott said.

“We take the point and it might be a big point. I thought we were the better team, but that doesn’t guarantee you are going to win the game.

“They get back in it with a free-kick, a good ball in and a great header [from Flint].

“I’ve just had a word with him in there because I have seen him do that loads of times. The leap is ridiculous and the contact is really good. It’s a great header, which gives them a lifeline, gets them back in the game and then it’s kitchen sink time.”

He added: “They can mix it up, they have the physicality and they have loaded the back line, got it forward really quickly and they've had a moment go for them to get the back in the game. In that sense, I am disappointed, but really pleased with the performance.
