Yeah, I think Eccles might see this as his real chance to cement more regular time in his favorite position but he can defo do a job there for us while we recruit further.
I do agree with this. My immediate concern is the mood at the club. On the back of 2 defeats when you see the difference he makes, then he goes and IF we get turned over tomorrow, the level of bed wetting will be up a notch!
Yes you can, if there are bids coming in.
If I was a club interested and wanted to be crafty, I’d put a 5-8M bid in on the last week of the window. The club don’t have a choice unless they are happy for him to go for free in the summer.
I watched the game yesterday and thought to myself, when MR figures out his best 11 and shape, and when they are fully match sharp, we are going to be some team. Weird leaving a match yesterday deflated by a late loss to a rival but so encouraged by what I saw from us.
Simms will be fine. He played fairly well today. Good movement, involved, good hold up play at times. Snatched at his shot whilst being too far out but he’ll learn. Probably trying too hard.
Once he bags a couple of league foil as, he’ll be fine.
