worrying cameo appearance today

Heads probably dropped as lampard clearly not a fan

Either that or doesn't see him in this system

 

[covcity4life]

Wasn't to long ago he scored 2. He will get back in at some point. Just needs to play well

Today yeah he messed up when refused to release the ball but I liked his no nonsense clearances at the end

 

[larry_david]

Squad game folks, remember that

 

[fernandopartridge]

Looks like he's lost a bit of confidence. That said, a difficult game to come into really.

 

[PVA]

Looked off it today and has been poor for a few weeks, but along with Wright was one of the best players for the first 15 or so games. He'll come good again.

 

[skybluecam]

Frank needs to lock him in a room and make him watch clips of Allen making nice, simple passes for a few hours.

he was also very good at home to Plymouth

Again..like Torp he did a job ...of all the positions...coming on and playing on left hand side is his least favoured position. Why cant peeps actually look at where je was asked to play ffs.

Regardless of where you play, you should be able to keep, shield and pass a ball. Looked knackered the minute he entered the pitch.

Lampard doesn’t rate him as a starting midfielder, and Lampard should know a midfielder when he sees one…

he’s too inconsistent, and I keep saying this, rubs some people up the wrong way

 

[zuni]

The amount of shit emojis I got for not worshipping Eccles, he seems a great lad, works hard but he is a bench warmer at best not a starter and yesterday showed that..he nearly cost us dearly when the simple option was available.

 

[covcity4life]

He is capable of being a championship midfielder. Has shown that with his goals and assists already this season. Just needs to work on his all round game and stop thinking he's better than he is that's all.

Probably doesn't help when you have middle aged men wanking about him because he came from academy.

If we sell mve he's our new right back

Eccles will bounce back. He will get another chance. We have few midfield options and it’s still one of our weakest parts of the pitch. His chance will come.

 

[AJB1983]

I’d been impressed with Eccles this season, however in recent weeks (yesterday and Norwich in particular) he has seemed to struggle coming off the bench and getting into the games.
He’s better starting in my opinion - not saying he should be as Torp and Allen have fared well.

I fear this actually could be the case as well, as an emergency option ok but no way a long term fix

He's been excellent for us.

He's allowed to be out of form though. Happens to all players at times.

He was constantly putting in very decent performances, but is now struggling with form.

I still highly rate him. And maybe Lampard is asking different things from him and he's struggling to adjust, I don't know.

He will come good again, I believe.

I mean most of us would find it off putting if we’re in the middle of playing a game.

watching the Leeds game, and Ao Tanaka (who we were rumoured to be interested in pre season) is head and shoulders above Eccles, and just what I would hope Eccles would be, and he only cost £3M

I just wonder how some people can think Josh is a premier league midfielder worth multi millions when you compare him to some of the similar players in our division

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

If Lampard doesn't see him as a starter going forward we should really cash in on him for £5 million pounds to a lower half premier league team

It's not like he was asked to play left wing.

He's too slow in thought and speed who rarely imposes himself consistently on a game for the whole duration.
He's a very very average Championship player who just happens to play for his hometown club and imo that clouds some people's judgement of him.

Who knew that Torp has an engine?

Midfield of which he is/was a regular starter

Careful squire-you’ll have the vultures circling with that post.

No one is paying £5 million for Eccles

And if that was the case then we should snap their hands off.

True... but its not his best position. Like i said he did a job for the team.

he is not getting in one single premier league team what are you smoking

Well duh

I don’t think he was being overly serious.

 

[blunted]

First time Eccles has not improved year on year. Either the natural drop in form that all youngish players experience, something gone wrong in his personal life or he is not happy with the new set up.
Hopefully the first and he will bounce back soon.
