Eccles Injured for rest of the season (1 Viewer)

[blunted]

Based on what? I think League 2 would be good for him. He's the least convincing of the 3 imo simply because we don't know anything about him and he's played at no level at all.
Some think Bassette was fast tracked too fast which may be true but i think he's a talent, only 20, played mens football here, in France and in the top division in Belgium, there is hope he could come good here.
Obikwu is an interesting one, an awkward customer who has different attributes which could see him come good, he's certainly got a good career in the game ahead even if not here.
Rapha... what do we know? We hear he's good in training. That's about it.

Obikwu was going to a higher league on loan but it fell through when he got injured.
Some players have a quantum leap in form. Wilson and Vic are examples. Most just fall away and ply their trade at a much lower level.
Andrews looks the most likely at present.
Bassette and Raphael need to step up next season.

Young players can make rapid strides very quickly from season to season so it is premature to now be saying which players should go out on loan next season. With a Summer's preparation and training under FL behind them the young players mentioned in this thread could be a lot closer to challenging for first team places than currently might seem to be the case.

 

[stupot07]

Only 37 appearances so far this season.
So obviously Frank clearly doesn't rate him.


Honestly there's some weapons grade bollocks spouted on here at times.

Not saying he doesn't rate him but his minutes have dropped significantly under Lampard.

Pre Lampard - started 15 of 16 (94%)

Lampard - Started 10 of 21 (48%)

 

[stupot07]

Big loss, we need the full squad if we're going to make play offs.

The addition of Grimes meant that there was only 2 other available places in midfield, so someone was always going to get reduced minutes.
And as Grimes has been used as a defencive midfielder, Eccles was the one under most threat, and one of the players who needed a rest (along with MvE)
But having said that, I think I'm right in saying he has appeared at some point, in every game under FL.

Perhaps Eccles can still be on the bench in the play off final, so that we can bring him on right at the end to take a penalty

Defencive?

Yup, but Lampard has also said that Eccles has been carrying a knock, so that has to come into the equation too and could also explain the lesser game time.

STILL can’t see any official announcement that he’s out
It’s SBT, so rumour is all that matters?

The club don’t normally post official announcements when players are injured. I guess we’ll find out soon!

 

[wingy]

Ask his barber, who is it on here who knows someone connected?

 

[Lamps]

Ask his barber, who is it on here who knows someone connected?

He's a cut above the rest with his information.

 

[Kingokings204]

Have the players gelled yet?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

[mmttww]

Can we cut out these barber puns please?

Puns will fade soon enough. Might taper off.

I'm hoping to get mine cut tomorrow I'll ask but I doubt he'll know.🫣

 

[blunted]

Is he responsible for the Adolf Hitler cut earlier in the season then?

 

[wingy]

Is he responsible for the Adolf Hitler cut earlier in the season then?

No he does oggy's still apparently.

 

[Bad Boy]

Does Dovin have a number 1 all over?

 

[hamil99]

Does Dovin have a number 1 all over?

Mainly just on his back.

 

[hopesprings]

I can see these remarks will lead to a parting of the waves !

 

[fatso]

Being a barber to a pro footballer obviously has its fringe benefits.

 

[fatso]

Does Dovin have a number 1 all over?

Collins would have a number 2

 

[Bad Boy]

Collins would have a number 2

Or a shot back inside…….groan, sorry folks

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Your razor-sharp today

Your razor-sharp today

Someone's just remarked about Pickford getting a buzz job on the international thread.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Being a barber to a pro footballer obviously has its fringe benefits.

Yeah it's a hair raising job.

 

[JSL]

Still nothing in the media about this. Perhaps trying to keep it quiet or maybe its not as bad as thought

 

[covcity4life]

I haven't been expecting him to play Vs sheff utd so not got hopes up but hopefully some good news soon

 

[Viktor17]

They wouldn't say anything, thats the policy now and there has been no presser since Sunderland. Will hear news Thursday at pre match.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Injured for tomorrow
