There has got to be a variation on Jennifer Eccles by the Hollies that becomes Eccles' song
long way home

He will always split opinion no matter what he does, its the way it is for him. I rate him and think he has way more to come. He definitely is trying to look forward quicker and has shown he can hit his target. I just wish he picked up a few more goals that is something he needs to add to his game

That always baffles me. This notion that he only passes sideways and backwards. Some of his through balls are sublime at times.
He's an excellent player at this level.

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.

Not a barm, or even a scone.

“We love Joshua Eccles,
We know he loves City,
We love Joshua Eccles,
The <insert top level midfielder he’s a bit like> of Coventry”

Change the barm for biscuit, and you are on to a winner.

There were times in the first half when he was the only composed player on the pitch and he really stood out. He’s an excellent player. And the huge thing for us is that he always plays, that’s crucial for us this season.

7th season with us, not including youth. Still only 24 and seems to be getting better with age.

24 seems mental considering how long he's been around .. still improving

I've always thought he's a decent Championship midfield player. Good to have in the squad but ideally not your first choice.
I'm starting to think he's a very good Championship midfield player now. He's been excellent in the majority of games this season, despite poor performances around him. Very impressed.

It's been said on here by others that if he had been bought from abroad for a few million lots more fans would love him .
He seems weirdly undervalued because he's an academy product

When Torp first signed Viveash said that he might find it difficult to break into the team as we have one of the best midfields in the league

Fitness doesn’t seem to be a huge issue for Eccles.

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.

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.

He looks like shaggy ( cartoon character) though!

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!
