... I'm not sure Embleton would tbh.

Elliott brings much more of a goal threat than Pritchard, which is what you need playing in no.10 role.
In two season Pritchard has scored 8 and assisted 16 all the while a division below himself according to most fans.
Elliott has mainly been played off the wing or bench and scored 11 and assisted 8.
Not bad for a local kid playing second fiddle to someone 6 year older than him.
His only downfall is his over the top tackles.
If we were 1-0 down with 30 mins to go I'd be more confident of Embleton getting us a goal
Both good players. Both different. No need to pick one and criticise the other.
I'd be more confident of Pritchard creating a goal.
It's not just direct assists, he moves us up the pitch and causes a bit of panic in their defence.

But the role he plays in comes with the expectation of being a goal threat.
I'm not simply criticising Embleton, I just feel he isn't progressing as he should ...
... he's had chances to establish himself and hasn't.
We're bringing in midfield players who look to be better prospects imo.
Him and Pritchard will both be looking over their shoulders imo.
Harsh. The league one season under Johnson/Neil was Embletons break out season and he contributed significantly. He'd been involved in most of our championship games up until his injury.
I like Embleton, but there's no question that Pritchard is the better player
He would just get on with playing football, and hopefully score plenty of goals.
We have no idea if he has even been offered anything by stoke or Southampton
I suspect one or the other will go this summer. Both good footballers but effectively both no 10’s and I think Bellingham, Ba and Rigg will get games there across the season.
Yeah I agree he has talent, but I always find him very inconsistent, he's either very good or non- existent in a game
I would be much more confident of Pritchard making something happen to change a game
While getting paid very little. Which is amazing value for us but something he wouldn’t want to do so cheaply for another 12 months. It adds pressure onto him to sign if you ask me and if he’s fit and taking us towards the top two won’t he be tempted to sign a deal that may get him more now while he plays, a premier league salary in 12 months and some kind of fair release fee if we don’t make it. I don’t think we should just sell unless we get a ridiculously high fee like plus 10 million
But Embleton will score more...
Roberts is a more talented dribbler than Clarke, but Clarke scores more.
