@DangerousSausage It's not a bad patch, he's generally inconsistent and very poor.

This season he's been shocking under Kevin Nolan and still got picked, under Harry Kewell he's been awful and if he doesn't improve under the next manager it will be time to see him move on. He doesn't offer a lot, he just works hard and there's not enough positive assets from him that make me want to see him remain.

Last season he was outstanding most of the time but when you need him and Notts are poor, he goes missing.

Not many of the players have played well under kewell and that does excuse elliot hewitt but he needs to be his best.

Sorry, I don't agree. Hewitt is a good player and was an important member of the team that made the play-offs last season. He hasn't suddenly become rubbish. If we just get rid of every player who goes through a bad patch we'll just have an enormous turnover of players and will never achieve anything at all. How about trying to make the best out of what we've got?

Hewitt came to this club with no first team experience and played under a multitude of managers, all with their own ideas. Only Kevin Nolan had a firm idea of what role he was most suited for and he duly blossomed. This season he's been used as a right-back again, confidence has dropped and a period on the sidelines would probably do him good. But that's no reason to show the door to one of only two players we have who can give us a bit of stability in the middle.

Sorry @DangerousSausage"Hewitt is a good player".... I need to go to see a psychiatrist then for counselling.... Football should be an easy game, if you keep the ball, you have nothing to fear as Howard Wilkinson used to preach.

Seemingly every time Hewitt is put under pressure, he kicks the ball forward aimlessly and loses possession. If we to seriously progress as  a football club, we need better

i respect how hard he works most of the time but he just seems a wasteful player.

hes like haydn hollis, people say hes young and has potential but hes not done enough with his chance. i fail to see how elliott hewitt should start based on his home performances.

He's not a good player but a useful squad member, there are far better passes and players with technical ability but they don't cover half of the ground he does.

I think this is Hewitt last chance to prove himself to Notts.

Never a first team starter, he has only excelled when paired with players like Ryan Yates who did the stuff Elliott Hewitt simply can't. Good player to be in and around the squad but I feel his biggest down fall is the fact he will move to anywhere on the pitch just to play. He's not consistent enough at the best of times and this allows him to be become lost.

The next manager needs to access the squad and see which players can't perform to a level that is required and then off-load them and down the line replace them with better players. No player should be a "squad player" though, they need to be good enough to start.

He's not been that good
