But he was piss poor as a RWB on Sunday!He was poor but only on the same level as others.
I've always had my reservations about 'utility' players who say they can play in multiple positions. Surely it's better to concentrate on one and master that before trying to fit in anywhere?
personally I don't think he was the worst player but he didn't do much to set the world alight. I thought at times he was a bit lost perhaps, and maybe midfield isn't the position for him? If Robins persists with considering him as a more of a WB then perhaps he needs to revert to that role?

To be fair I don't think he's a utility player and I don't think it's his choice to play RWB.
He's obviously a central midfielder and got chucked in at RWB when we were desperate, and just happened to do well there.
With Burroughs seemingly having jumped up the pecking order recently I don't think we'll see too much of Eccles at RWB going forwards (unless Dabo gets injured!)
We all want him to do well and I think he will become established but he’s been around the first team for 4 seasons now and must make it happen this season.Fans have got their boo-boy replacement for Jordan Shipley the comments last night throughout the match were pathetic towards a youngster finding his way in his early career, how many games has he played ? a dozen ? awful supporters.
Surely you’ve not just stated something everyone already knows, obviously he’s not a RWB
Robins has done the same with all upcoming academy midfielders
Shipley come through as a CM and got put LWB
Bayliss come through as a CM and got put RWB
Howley plays number 10 for Under 23’s or 18’s and has Been playing CB
I'm really just being pendantic here but Shipley and Bayliss played LM and RM respectively.Surely you’ve not just stated something everyone already knows, obviously he’s not a RWB

He played excellently at Southampton as a wing back. I don’t think that they are a poor side. He just needs to be given a chance to prove himself and not be written off after a couple of poor games.Feel sorry for the kid, hung out to dry on Sunday against Sunderland in a position he’s only played in against poor sides, then gets played in a young 11 against Bristol city’s first team. Admittedly he was poor in both games but his confidence is shot 1 game into the season
The other post said Eccles is a utility player, I was saying no he's not he's a CM.
Bayliss never played RWB. We didn't even play wing backs when he was here!
Shipley played what, 2 games at LWB?
Howley has played 10 minutes at CB.

This. Eccles is a good player. It was obvious that as the Sunderland game wore on his confidence was dropping. This happens to young players.Viveash really rates this lad and thinks he could have a great career
But his confidence is shot
Look how he took to social media to apologise for his earlier below par performance
He really needs to get his head down and stop reading social media
Sheaf had a whole season of it. Difference being Eccles is 'one or our own'This. Eccles is a good player. It was obvious that as the Sunderland game wore on his confidence was dropping. This happens to young players.
We should have took him off at half time, with Dabo on the bench - Eccles needs to be taken out of the firing line, go back to performing for the U23s and rebuild his confidence.
there’s a good player in there
I had no problem with Sheaf. I generally found he was a good player and said many times on here. His problem was for me bad luck as he made no more mistakes than others, just when he did make a mistake it almost always led to a goal.Sheaf had a whole season of it. Difference being Eccles is 'one or our own'

He wasn’t the most popular was he.what did sheaf have a whole season of exactly?
Abuse everytime he breathed.what did sheaf have a whole season of exactly?
Abuse everytime he breathed.
is the boo boy this year? we have some plums as fans
the lad who said bayliss had played rwb, wow
Eccles was especially bad in that game tbf, at least in my eyes, and I said so at the time. I also made sure I mentioned his previous good games mind you, as a reason not to write him off!I mean Godden missed an absolute sitter first game and was pretty anonymous. The Sunderland game wasn’t a good indicator for most of the players
