Don't believe I have read anywhere anyone saying that the game was anything more than a practice match. Don't recall anyone saying he starred or was a dominant performer. Posters who have been critical of him and have asked for him to do more and yesterday he did just that. Heaven forbid anyone give the kid a little credit for taking a small step in the right direction.
Nobody is asking you to change your opinion based on a JLT game in Wang. I haven't read anyone exaggerating Ellis' game, they may have highlighted a piece of play or pointed out that he did the things that have been lacking from his game but to say they have made it out to be a breakout game is where the exaggeration lies. That and claiming that Ellis' performance should be tempered because it was a JLT game, but claiming others may have locked themselves into a R1 spot because of their performances in the game.

Your defence was rather robust. Leave it at that!
Mate, if the content of these threads will ever improve (which people claim they want), it will take more than just yours truly to alter their approach.
And most of it - the bullshit - starts with the usual one or two trotting out the tired 'you hate player X ... in this case Ellis .... and want him to fail.'
From there the conversation quickly heads to a battle between what is perceived as ultra-positive to the point of farcical to ultra-negative ... no middle ground.
