Not good enough

Hopefully gone in summer

[Winny the Bish]

Gone from every game starter under Robins to 6th choice CM for Lampard.

If Stoke want to give us £1.5m-3m in the summer for him I'd take it.

Harshly put but quite probable.

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

He has never been consistently good enough for a team pushing for promotion.

Unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to hear it because he is ’one of our own’

If he is happy to be a squad player, I would keep him. Versatile and still developing.

Fuck me, that's fucking brutal.

He's one of our own, cost us nothing, and made over 130 appearances, not a high earner, always gave 100% and was part of our journey from league 1 to where we are now. When we hadn't got 2 pennies to rub together we were grateful to rely on him.

If we've moved on and his time here is to come to an end, why not just wish him all the best?

He has played over 125 games - he isn’t still developing.

A squad player maybe but we are looking at promotion these days as opposed mid table.

If we get a decent bit, take the money and reinvest.

He didn’t play for us in league 1

There was a period earlier this season where he was about the only player standing up to be counted. More recently under Lampard he got a brace. He might not be getting much of an opportunity now and had a couple of poor games when he did play but I'm not at all writing him off.

His brace was in boxing day, half a season ago.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Ffs we are quick to write players off.

 

[Domo]

hes always been there for us, squad player, Versatile and cov lad. defo would keep him over getting something like 1.5m for him.

 

[wingy]

Good player, won't fit in here he'll be off.

Who knows why he’s been left out? it May be a straightforward reason.

Just a stroke of bad luck on his part I'd say. He got injured just as Ben was coming back, Torp was finding form and Grimes was firing on all cylinders. Also FL has made it very clear he's a Jamie Allen fan. That's 4 people ahead of him now he's out injured, you'll always find it hard coming back from an injury straight in to contention, even more so with 4 players like that ahead of you. Though he's not whining or kicking off (otherwise surely we'd of heard) and is happy filling in as a squad player, he won't be on loads wages wise. If we don't go up (and let's be honest, even IF we turn it around on Tuesday we've still got to get past blades) I'd happily keep him as a squad player. Good for rotation/cup games etc. We wouldn't get much in terms of a fee, and wouldn't replace him for the fee we would get. I'd keep hold. Possibly look to loan him out with the recall option if Sheaf gets injured again.
Same in the GK department. I'd get rid of Collins, bring in a new No1 for the foreseeable then it's between him and Dovin to fight for it on merit. Then loan out Wilson again with the recall option just incase. Have the loaning team pick up a good chunk of their wages.

I thought this year was a big year for him, and earlier this season I felt he was becoming a really important and consistent player who goes under the radar - not getting as much wrong as he did before.
But then FL came in and he just doesn’t fancy him does he?

Got offered a new contract though.

I'd like 5M at least for Eccles due to the exorbitant rates some players are going for. We got really shafted with Simms and Wright and EMC and need to recoup some cash.

think it was triggered by appearances rather than offered

 

[pusbccfc]

Put him in Tuesday. Fresh legs

 

[blunted]

Remember the geniuses who said Vik and Gus weren't good enough. Can't think of a player in the last 8 years who hasn't been written off on here.
Eventually the penny is going to drop that football now more than ever is a squad game.
Eccles has never let us down. He played hell of a lot of minutes both seasons we got to Wembley.
Guess Grimes has taken over his role. I suspect Eccles will be back here or elsewhere.

 

[covboy9]

He’s no worse than sheaf this season, sheaf’s been consistently dreadful

He did.

He played twenty odd games in a season for a side who got a penalty kick away from promotion

Jack the price up I'd say, although you'd assume £2-3m anyway, maybe they don't like his choice of barber or the seeming Impression that he talks out of school.
