He has oneNeeds a proper song.
That always baffles me. This notion that he only passes sideways and backwards. Some of his through balls are sublime at times.Nah, fake news.
He only passes sideways & backwards, the experts on here said so.

We love Joshua Eccles
We know he's one of our own
He's a cake, is Joshua Eccles
When he plays, it gives us the bone.
There has got to be a variation on Jennifer Eccles by the Hollies that becomes Eccles' song

Not a barm, or even a scone.
Saddlebrains said this summer there was interest from a premier league club .One day this forum will collectively realise how good Eccles is. Hopefully it'll be while he's still here, but maybe it'll be when he gets a move to a higher ranked team.
24 seems mental considering how long he's been around .. still improving7th season with us, not including youth. Still only 24 and seems to be getting better with age.
He's a very good player. I don't understand why some don't rate him.One day this forum will collectively realise how good Eccles is. Hopefully it'll be while he's still here, but maybe it'll be when he gets a move to a higher ranked team.
Eccles & Sheaf could be the best CM partnership in the division if they stay fit.
Fitness doesn’t seem to be a huge issue for Eccles.Eccles & Sheaf could be the best CM partnership in the division if they stay fit.
Which is another thing going in his favour now. Used to be in for a few games but was always a bit of a pansy picking up niggles etc which would see him out again. Think Robins also alluded to it once upon a time. Can’t use that stick to beat him with now though. Had a great game.Fitness doesn’t seem to be a huge issue for Eccles.
He looks like shaggy ( cartoon character) though!I think the reason people might not immediately put him high on their list is that he just looks normal. He picks up the ball, makes a nice pass and quietly moves into a good position for the next phase. What you don't realise is that he's putting in 15+ tackles, he doesn't give the ball away and he keeps pinging cross field balls that create an attack.
If he went on mazy runs like Rudoni or got flying down the wings he'd stand out, but he just plays that midfield role like a consumate professional. Quietly and with quality.
I dunno about Shaggy, but when him and Torp are on the field together I have to look at their boots to tell which one is which. Eccles wearing bright Orange on Tuesday was thoughtful of him, albeit Robins knew I was struggling so just left Torp on the bench for me.He looks like shaggy ( cartoon character) though!
