I lived there for a while in the 90s and can confirm this. Once you’re tired of Bruce Grove, you’re tired of life!
(Albeit it may have all been gentrified since I was last there).
Yeah, I might’ve been getting mixed up. I think Eccles made his debut vs Southend. Which id thought was League 2 but was at St Andrews, which was league 1.
For me he’s looked very good when he’s picked the ball up in deeper positions.
I mean he’s not looked terrible by any means.
I’ve been more disappointed in EMC but like Asante, we’re only 3/4 games in. I’m hopeful for them both.
I’m hoping he’s just finding his feet in this league. Seen glimpses from him and he has played out of position for the most part. Strangely though he probably had his worst game vs Stoke when he was playing on the left. Like you say, he’s not looked great thus far.
I’ve always thought Lidl’s should use this song in their adverts…Lidl buy Lidl.
Seems both obvious, and entirely inane on my part but I thought I’d mention it.
Ta da!
It was. I think we’re all agreeing he got worse. I’d agree with FP, and say he was one of our best players when we came up and in that first season.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his career is over.
