Disappointing as he’s one of the few experienced lads we have, solid defensively and I think his crossing on the overlap/dead ball delivery has improved every season he’s been hereYea
He won't be getting one as far as im aware
I suspect the new manager will have an input on that.Yea

I’m sure we’ll upgrade on Bidwell and have Dasilva as backup. I’m a big fan of his but it’s time for him to move on now if we’re looking to progress.Disappointing as he’s one of the few experienced lads we have, solid defensively and I think his crossing on the overlap/dead ball delivery has improved every season he’s been here
I worry we won’t replace all those attributes. Particularly as we’re stuck with Dasilva for another 2 seasons we could end up exposed
I don’t disagree. We should be looking to replace and upgrade his attributes, will be a big test for Austin and co to get it right.I’m sure we’ll upgrade on Bidwell and have Dasilva as backup. I’m a big fan of his but it’s time for him to move on now if we’re looking to progress.
Still not sure about Eccles, hes‘s looked ok this season due to how bad we’ve been, really want him to do well as a local lad but to get where we want we need a bit more from him, top six team ? then he’d be a good squad player
If it’s Lampard I would be shocked if he wants to keep bidders.I suspect the new manager will have an input on that.
He wasn’t quite what Robins wanted, that may not be true going forward.
if we had the midfield we needed at the start of the season I don’t think he starts, he’s good at what he does, does the basics you’d expect him to, hope he keeps getting better, he’s a mid table championship player, unfortunately he’s not the only oneNo, he's looked good because hes comfortable at this level.

He's not good enough on the ball and isn't getting any better. Dasilva looks unlikely to move on soon too, so I'd be shocked if Bidwell is renewed. Left back should be on our shopping list in Jan/next summer.Disappointing as he’s one of the few experienced lads we have, solid defensively and I think his crossing on the overlap/dead ball delivery has improved every season he’s been here

And what about the other half, they went missing, not knocking him he‘s doing his best for us, but he doesn’t get into any of the top 6 teams which is where we want to be,He played in the team that was in automatic promotion form for half of last season somehow

didn’t say that, I said if we had the midfield we needed at the start of the season he wouldn’t start, I haven’t seen anything from rudoni or torp to say they would either, Eccles is a good player, who knows, new manager could improve him even moreHe's played in a top 6 team.
And the idea he'd be the one dropped if we had another midfielder given how Sheaf and Torp have performed up to now doesn't ring true with me, (though Torp does appear to be turning a corner).
He isn't though, it's just that some people wierdly couldn't see his ability before. He's evolved, but not in a surprising way at all.He's a completely different player
I thought that at the time! I stick by it..Coming from someone who was adamant that we should have kept Biamou on rather than signing Gyokeres - hahaha.
He isn’t wrong though, most of the concerns before weren’t to do with ability but injury record. Safe to say he’s not had any such problems since, but he’d had two non trivial muscle injuries before signing the first extension.So if you make a bad take it's a good thing and you're happy but if someone else makes a bad take it's embarrassing. Ha, sums you and your buddy up perfectly.
Disagree and as there was interest from Premier league sides in the summer I think your opinion is way wide of the markAnd what about the other half, they went missing, not knocking him he‘s doing his best for us, but he doesn’t get into any of the top 6 teams which is where we want to be,
I never commented on original contract as far as I am aware. For me I've always said he's goodI'm happy to have been proven wrong. I was apprehensive about the length of his last contract after his injuries but glad to have been proven wrong.
It's still nowhere near as bad as some of your takes though.
Think you might be mixing @PVA up with my comments. I was the one that said I’d’ve kept Biamou on for another year as a squad player and I probably wouldn’t have resigned Gyokeres after that loan at the time.Not exactly what you said is it?
Funny, I’ve always thought it’s had the negative effect on him… I.e people under-rate him because he’s seen to just be a kid from the acadamy and a cheap option doing a job. If we paid £1m for him people would value him more imoI never commented on original contract as far as I am aware. For me I've always said he's good
Still think he's tad overated by some though cos homegrown though
Disagree. I think he is quite aggressive and isn't just safe. He plays some lovely through balls to the strikers and spreading play.I’m going to go against the majority here but for me, if we are going to aim for top 6 / top 2 over the next few seasons then Eccles isn’t the answer
Decent squad player but for me lacks aggression and is too safe on the ball.
If Lampard (assuming) comes in then hopefully he can take Eccles up a notch
And yes, I go to about 90% of games home and away.
Seen this opinion on here a bit recently, but I don’t share it. Lampard was a brilliant CM, but his ability to improve our own midfielders will depend on his ability as a coach, not as a player.If Lampard (assuming) comes in then hopefully he can take Eccles up a notch
Robins was a good striker, didn’t help our strikers put away sitters.Seen this opinion on here a bit recently, but I don’t share it. Lampard was a brilliant CM, but his ability to improve our own midfielders will depend on his ability as a coach, not as a player.
