No we don't but to suggest Eccles is a squad player is ludicrous

The majority of those at right back.
He’s not good enough technically to play alongside sheaf in the 352 system Robins is playing. Doesn’t have enough ability to receive and progress the ball.
I’m not saying get rid, he’s a great option to have but you’re kidding yourself if you think he can step into Hamer’s shoes.

he doesn't, as per saturday he can play the deeper role and sheaf can step forward
sheaf was brilliant on Saturday
we also are going to bring in likely 2 more midfielders

Eccles is the definition of a squad player, has never been first choice in any position for the team.

So many stupid throwaway comments being made without any foundation. Da Silva has been brilliant in his two league games so far

Were there two Coventry games on Saturday? Latibeaudiere got caught out multiple times with his lack of pace. Both of their big chances came from getting in down the left.

They both came from huge misunderstandings between our defenders
David O'Day

No he didn't, the one major chance came because most of the defence fell over the ball
David O'Day

Yeah it wasn't a lack of pace, it was multiple players not being on the same wavelength

That one wasn’t pace no, just generally poor play, but there were multiple times he got beaten for pace out wide.

Eccles has one of if not the best win ratio in the squad and id say is the most improved player. Not a shock being as he is playing in his natural position and is getting more confidence by the game.
You can be lucky in football but once luck turns into consistency then luck has fuck all to do with it, just means you have become a better player.

Not at all! He has the turning circle of a tractor and the pace of one too!Multiple times ?
Is this a troll account ?
Good in the tackle but I’m not sure he’s suited to playing wide in a back 3.

f*cking bedwetters writing off players. I think Lati has looked good - good on the ball, playing out of position on the left of a three and played three games in a week. He'll be great for us. Genuinely nothing to bitch and moan about this summer.

Oh and as was referenced in the match thread , that run back was not long after a crunching tackle . Looked like he was carrying a knock

Latibeaudiere had a decent enough game on Saturday but it’s also true that pretty much all of their decent opportunities came down his side.
Doesn’t do great for a couple of them in the extended highlights.

Watching the game live I was more worried with Van Ewijk being pulled about , funny how highlights can differ
And that's not a criticism of MvE either , just an observation
It took time for a new defence to settle last year and you could argue we are ahead of the curve on that already. I'm not too concerned yet.

MvE has the benefit of Bobby T behind him who looks absolutely top class as a defender.

To be fair he does , but also made a couple of mistakes in the first 2 games too ..

And I am pretty sure our record in those matches was much better than in the ones he didn't start.
Like Sheaf he will never appeal to some people but he is a talented player who played a important role in our success last season and has arguably been our best player so far this season.

Haven’t written him off at all, he will do a job but we will concede if he continues playing wide. I think he’d be better used as cover for Fadz in the middle.
I’m not out to slag off players, just pointing out areas in which we can and must improve if we want to be promoted.
