@napolimp won’t have any trouble rivaling thisCongrats for shittest post of the day. Take note @napolimp @skybluecam @slowpoke - time to up your game
Afterwards Gary Rowett said that Brum leave too many people up front, that there’s a lack of balance, and a gap between attack and defence. Possibly Robins was exploiting this?Looked far far better without him last night. He does the basic stuff well, very tidy where that’s concerned, today was the first time in a while that we’ve advanced the ball consistently like we did last year and played with some tempo. Sheaf, Allen and o’hare all look to make things happen with th ball, Eccles doesn’t.

HmmmAfter the game Robins commented that we were a little open at times.
Yeah I actually thought we missed Eccles breaking opposition play up but having more attacking minded players obviously helped us progress the ball forward.After the game Robins commented that we were a little open at times. Birmingham were awful and we took advantage, but Southampton are likely to provide a much tougher challenge, and I suspect MR would ideally like to bring Eccles back for that game. The only trouble is however that none of the midfielders that played last night deserve to be dropped. If he does bring Eccles back in I guess it might be for Simms, but its a big call for MR.
Again hmmmThink we were ok with one defensive midfielder (Sheaf) last night against a dire side. I fear that midfield gets overrun against Southampton so would expect to see Eccles back in for Allen (if available).
Whilst he had a good game overall, there must’ve been 6 or 7 times Sheaf gave it away cheaply first half leading to a Brum break away. If it’s Armstrong running onto them we’d have probably been a couple down.
The reason we played " with tempo" nothing to do with Eccles it's O'hare getting back up to pace when he plays it's alway going to be played quicker plus we were against Birmingham and there was so much space for our midfield .In fact if he had been playing my thoughts are he would have revelled in this space and found himself in shooting postions and may well have added to the goals or assists.You can rest assured he will be back on Wednesday against stiffer oppositon either in the team (Hope Roblns keeps the same team to start) or when Southampton start to get the upperhand in midfield.Looked far far better without him last night.

Even without mentioning him every post you make screams that sheaf lives in your head rent freeBeen harshly dropped in my opinion. Been our best midfielder overall this season. I get the feeling people posting that we played better without him would have written that regardless of performance or result.

I think Eccles has been good this season and I think we would have done fine with him in yesterday too. But he will have to fight it out with Allen for starting spot next game out I imagine.
Good to have options

Was he dropped ?Been harshly dropped in my opinion. Been our best midfielder overall this season. I get the feeling people posting that we played better without him would have written that regardless of performance or result.
I don’t think so, he’s had a run of games and probably needs a rest. Considering we didn’t make any subs suggests our options weren’t at 100%.Was he dropped ?

Tbf whilst I agree with you he was sloppy I'm possession a few times, what did you want from the guy behind? To have a go at Sheaf too? I'm not sure that's helpful as it wouldn't have been to Wright ... who I did think was very poor. Moan on here or in your groups, but getting on players at the game rarely helps.I thought I was the only one who was seeing this. Made some great defensive tackles and interceptions but sloppy/casual in possession a few times
Not a peep from the guy behind me who was busy screaming at wright to ‘do something’ most of the game

As ever he found space, as ever he didn't always seem to quite know what to do with it!ps wright wasnt ‘very poor’ at all. He needs to toughen up a bit and be stronger on the ball still but some of his movement and link play was good.
Harshly dropped? More like unlucky.So you agree then?
I said it at the time. His lack of attention or focus sometimes is frustrating. If he had that he would be in the prem probably.I thought I was the only one who was seeing this. Made some great defensive tackles and interceptions but sloppy/casual in possession a few times

To be fair its a wonder he didn't dive rolling over numerous times trying to claim a penaltyWatch this...
I doubt he was dropped and suspect it was a fitness issue.Been harshly dropped in my opinion. Been our best midfielder overall this season. I get the feeling people posting that we played better without him would have written that regardless of performance or result.
