Did you see our third goal yesterday?Starting to grow on him, if we can get him off corners or just improve them then he will be a solid player.
Have you thought the fact that the defenders are improved? Bit different taking corners against 17 years old than top end championship blokes.I just don’t get it. Surely deadball is the one area of your game that shouldn’t decline that much in the move up to adult football, and he’s always taken corners. He must have been doing better than the ones yesterday even in the U18s

It's a very fine line trying to beat that first defender, isn't it? Just miss him and the ball is landing on the edge of the 6 yard box.Surely your ball shouldn’t be bouncing before the first man at any level?
Dont kid yourself 3 goals from 160 attemps man.Did you see our third goal yesterday?
Plus the first 3 corners hit the first man coming about 2 foot of the floor.Did you see our third goal yesterday?

The quote appears to have changed.How many should we expect statistically?
fuck knows idk how good the cbs are in the air, but i think half of our corners dont get passed the first man like.How many should we expect statistically?

I’d argue he already is a solid player-Mid table Championship one.Starting to grow on him, if we can get him off corners or just improve them then he will be a solid player.
2-3% allegedlyHow many should we expect statistically?
Eccles clearly player of the season so far. Sheaf probably next. They are an excellent combination.
So is that a goal for each of the last 3 attempts?? If so 100% score. Just saying not a very good stat to lean on.Dont kid yourself 3 goals from 160 attemps man.
He's done well I'll give you that.
Definitely the pick of the new signings at this stage.
Below Eccles though imo.
Where does he rank in academy graduates who made their debut since 2000? How many have played consistently at this level?
That 2010-15 period is seen as the peak with Wilson, Maddison, plus our heavy reliance on the kids.
He must be above Willis, Shipley, Tom Bayliss now. Behind Cyrus Christie who's played in the top flight.
Yet another bizarrely long contract extension, it’s like we never learn.
Because once again it's a lack of pragmatism from the club.
Eccles, as talented as he is, quite clearly has persistent injury issues which he can't seem to shake. Every single season he's been out for long periods which at this stage of his career should set off some alarm bells.
I doubt his issues are suddenly going to disappear.
Understandable why the club want to retain him but unsure why they couldn't have just offered him a 2 year extension with an option of a further year in their favour. It's still a fair contract to offer and ties him down for potentially 3 years - just with a bit more flexibility.
Seems a ridiculous decision considering the fact he is injured constantly. Bizarre.
Offering a 4 year deal on a player whose started 16 league games is not on the face of it very sensible is it
My concern was around his injuries at time.Saved you all the time looking. The funny thing is if we’d offered him a shorter contract the same people probably would’ve been moaning that we don’t tie our players down for long enough.
Just own it mate, you were wrongMy concern was around his injuries at time.
Presumably claiming Biamou was a better option than Gyokeres was part of new material you were testing out?
Im happy to admit I was wrong.Just own it mate, you were wrong

Another cracking take here, no wonder he stopped postingI agree, when is this club going to learn? When is it?
4 year contract for a player that has been with the first team since 2019 and contributing a handful of games due to not being good enough, injured or sitting on the bench. Another year or two max on a relevant salary I’d possibly except the thinking but four years.
I may be in the minority but I don’t see a player in Eccles like I do see in Burroughs. All about opinions but the club needs to stop dishing out long term contracts to players who haven’t deserved them. I may be harsh here but this industry must be the only one that rewards failure. He may be on £500 a week for example (he won’t) but it’s still a salary going out the club.
Let’s hope he sorts his injury problems out and becomes a regular automatic first team player.
He's probably played more games than Ben Turner in better teams, he's above himBelow Ben Turner, above Craig Pead

Now he has. This was ages ago.
Better teams is arguable. I think man for man the Coleman side was as good as we’ve got now.
