I don’t think it’s worthwhile comparing Eccles (or any of our players!) to England internationals.

I don’t think it’s worthwhile comparing Eccles (or any of our players!) to England internationals.Eccles is a good player, but at this level in my opinion he struggles at the minute and isn’t a first choice - he’s a decent bench option…he is probably under the right management team to bring any potential out though
Having said that, if you compare him to say Maddison at this stage then JM was head and shoulders above where Eccles is, and I couldn’t see a premier league team looking at Eccles, or to be honest even a team at our level - you may think different?
I personally prefer Latibeaudiere playing with Sheaf in midfield and I think Sheaf also looks better with a more defensively solid player alongside him
He's a £7.7 million pound centre forward, who's failed as a centre forward.Weren’t you claiming Wright was shit a few weeks ago?
So you were wrong then. Thanks for confrmingHe's a £7.7 million pound centre forward, who's failed as a centre forward.
I'm delighted he's doing exceptionally well as a left sided midfielder, (long may it continue) but he was brought in as a centre forward, and has failed at such.
And now we still need another centre forward.
He's having a little purple spell, let's see his stats at the end of the season.So you were wrong then. Thanks for confrming
He's not a left sided midfielder though?He's a £7.7 million pound centre forward, who's failed as a centre forward.

That's like saying Mo Salah is a right sided midfielderHe's not a left sided midfielder though?

Why eat humble pie when you have the option to embarrass yourself further?Left sided midfielder?
Judging by his username he’s watching his weightWhy eat humble pie when you have the option to embarrass yourself further?

Non league? Fucking hell you’re dumbWhat has Simms done that literally any other striker from non league could have done, and probably better?
He certainly isn't watching our forwardsJudging by his username he’s watching his weight
He should stop watching football altogether with his brain dead views. Simms has a goal and two assists in the last three games and is clearly improving. Even Stevie Wonder would be able to see that. He’s a clueless moronHe certainly isn't watching our forwards
Probably started the ‘Haji Wrong Wrong Wrong’ chantHe certainly isn't watching our forwards
He’s probably the loudmouth prick that sits behind me who blames Simms and Wright for things even when the ball is nowhere near themProbably started the ‘Haji Wrong Wrong Wrong’ chant

It is weird I agree.Eccles would get into a lot of other sides in this league, he's a decent player and just do not get the antipathy towards him. It's the same with most home grown players, they're given some weird handicap by the fans.
I think it's because we see their growing pains, so they're fixed as that standard forever.Eccles would get into a lot of other sides in this league, he's a decent player and just do not get the antipathy towards him.

No but can still chuck some names back inAnyway any rumours today?

Never let us down at RWB though to be fairsince moving from a confected right wing back to his preferred midfield position he’s been mostly very good.
the issue for eccles is he is a very good steady midfielder who is important to us in that he does a lot of the hard work and is also very good at filling gaps left by other people but people seem to think he needs to be pinging worldie passes all over the pitch to be any goodEccles would get into a lot of other sides in this league, he's a decent player and just do not get the antipathy towards him.

It would help if we had someone capable of pinging said worldies though.the issue for eccles is he is a very good steady midfielder who is important to us in that he does a lot of the hard work and is also very good at fill gaps left by other people but people seem to think he should be pinging worldie passes all over the pitch to be any good
Thats where both Sheaf and Eccles fall short of Premier League classIt would help if we had someone capable of pinging said worldies though.
yeah, not so much now though as the new system makes it less importantIt would help if we had someone capable of pinging said worldies though.
Never let us down at RWB though to be fair
It’s the missing ingredient this team needs to cement itself in the top 6 I think. Hence why I’m not convinced we’ll end up there with this current group.Thats where both Sheaf and Eccles fall short of Premier League class
He is currently a very decent squad player and we are lucky to have him. Where I think he draws critical comments is for how he makes relatively few progressive passes to forwards and more noticeably on Saturday against a very average Oxford and disproportionately in other games gets caught in possession. The best midfield players are constantly scanning whats around them as they operate in a congested area of the pitch, that way if they get the ball they already have a picture to make decisions about. Eccles a couple of times at the weekend received the ball and turned straight into trouble and turned the ball over. Other than these two areas much of his game is defiantly underrated and he still has time to improve.Eccles would get into a lot of other sides in this league, he's a decent player and just do not get the antipathy towards him.

If you can back that up with stats it would be useful? I am sad enough sometimes to watch games I see live back in full and I suggest of the midfielders he plays the least progressive passes per match on a consistent basis but would no doubt have great sideways pass completion stats.He's had a hand in a lot of goals this season with his early balls up to the forwards
