I'd like to see Eccles as the 6 with Rudoni and Torp as the two 8s pushing on in front of him

Although having said that Allen is the best player in the team atm as has been said on his thread

Interestingly a lot of the stats based websites had him as our worst player v Blackburn. (e.g. Blackburn Rovers vs Coventry City live score, H2H and lineups | Sofascore). I'm not really sure what to make of that information but there it is.

Can see him going in the summer. Frank doesn't seem to fancy him

That’s probably why he signed a new contract to get something for him.
FL probably indicated his thoughts before he was formally announced.

That's why it usually helps when people watch matches,

Allen has been a stable member in the midfield that does a lot of hard yards and doing the basic stuff such as simple passes having a 90% completion average per90 and 1.71 tackles per 90 also averages 5 recoveries per 90 which Im assuming is interceptions and duels

I think it's because a lot of the good work Allen does for us is off the ball, and these stats don't recognise that.

Like they don't recognise if someone's positioning is poor, etc.

They're useful, but only up to a point.

The consensus on here is often nonsense. Our problems this season have been in the two penalty areas.

I do mostly agree (especially with the first bit ) but haven't been entirely convinced by the balance in MF since Hamer left. Also I don't think the midfield is entirely blameless in either penalty area. They are all under their xG bar Eccles.

Yeah, I did wonder if that's a part of it. Stats also struggle to show how the midfield works as a unit rather than as individuals. Also worth pointing out that although he has been our poorest rated player in the last 2 games they are not terrible scores. It is a result of everyone else on our side scoring much higher than they normally do... which tells its own story.

Thing is he has ALWAYS been really good at playing simple, non-flashy football at this level, but fans don't seem to value that as much as managers do

I think Robins said about him that he understands and follows tactical instructions very well

Really surprising as you'd think his style would yield good stats regardless of subjective perceived performance!
