To repeat Otis, he's just out of form in a team that's generally been poor this season. That doesn't make him a poor player or means his development has necessarily stalled.First time Eccles has not improved year on year. Either the natural drop in form that all youngish players experience, something gone wrong in his personal life or he is not happy with the new set up.
Hopefully the first and he will bounce back soon.

He was very good in the early part of the season, and he'll be good again, no doubt.
Exactly this. Many, were saying he was our best player for a while.Before Robins went the general consensus was Eccles had really kicked on this season. Since then/his new contract/whatever it is he’s stalled a bit but to say he hasn’t improved this year is rubbish.
And usually to our playersFrank needs to lock him in a room and make him watch clips of Allen making nice, simple passes for a few hours.

Bump.worrying cameo appearance today
Squad game, he'll be called on at some point, might have influenced his decision to shoot late on instead of pass to Bassette?Bump.
But his cameo against Blackburn was excellent.Bump.
Change of formation not suiting him?He's fell off a cliff since Boxing Day
Complacency since the new contract? Not able to play without Sheaf?
Who knows. Weve all seen he can play though
I wondered what lampard may have made of thatWhy the fuck did he choose to shoot instead of take it into the corner with Bassette at the end. Frank was livid.
Didn’t really think about it that much but as a player who’s not currently starting games what a stupid thing to do. Might make Lampard think twice about bringing him on if we’re seeing out a close game.I wondered what lampard may have made of that
I didn't see the game, but could it not be that Eccles shot because he's not been featuring and if he scored, he would have made Lampard stand up and take notice.Didn’t really think about it that much but as a player who’s not currently starting games what a stupid thing to do.

I wouldn't have taken that shot the obvious ball was to Bassette but I can understand it from a selfish point of view, limited minutes, not used to it,smelt glory and put it wide, we've all extolled his virtue s all season,a lot of minutes Indeed but Frank's got a fresh eye on things and it's other players who are getting the nod with not bad results,he simply needs to relax and wait his chance,it probably hasn't helped that he's been ever present until now.Didn’t really think about it that much but as a player who’s not currently starting games what a stupid thing to do.

Exactly!If his motivation was to shoot, he was putting himself ahead of the needs of the team....when we needed game management, shows a lack of discipline.

Having a shot was the quickest way he could’ve given the ball back to Watford other than literally passing it to them. It was an awful decision.If it had flew into the net though nobody would be complaining. It still helped wind the clock down.
Fans are always the perfect judges from the stands.

I wouldn't read too much into a series of 10 minute cameos.
Do we really need to search for a new boo boy? He's had a few tough weeks. He's not suddenly sh*t.
I'm not trying to pile on and I generally agree, but not taking the ball to the corner is one of my massive pet peeves because it basically shows you either have no understanding/appreciation of the state of the game OR you're just very selfish and care about personal glory/stats more than the result.Do we really need to search for a new boo boy?

Yep the opposite of Allen for 70 minsI'm not trying to pile on and I generally agree, but not taking the ball to the corner is one of my massive pet peeves because it basically shows you either have no understanding/appreciation of the state of the game OR you're just very selfish and care about personal glory/stats more than the result.
He was in good form without Sheaf.He's fell off a cliff since Boxing Day
