Are many of us ( me included ) too harsh on eccles and downplay his ability ?
He's a bit of an enigma to me and I can't work out if he's really good or not
His stats are in the right place ,still just 24 years old and he's from Coventry.
ChristHe's done well this season and was great last night. Thankfully he no longer has to take corners. Can't believe I'm saying this but I think I would rather have him than Sheaf in the team.

Sheaf is head and shoulders above Eccles.

Not on the fuckin sick bed he isn'tChrist

Sheaf has the ability to dictate the tempo of a game. Eccles doesn’t yet. He needs to play alongside someone that can.Nah.
Eccles has been as good as for some time. Last night was an example of how good he really is. The two players get treated completely differently though. The former was being lobbied as going to the Premier League for 25 million, which obviously never fucking happened.
That will tell you which bias is currently unreasonable.

I’m not saying he’s bad, just not as good as sheaf and it’s ridiculous to say so.
He isn't and last season's stats backed that up . They both have different strengths and weaknesses but Sheaf isn't " head and shoulders" above Eccles at allChrist

I always get mixed up between him and Torp and they always both seem to wear white boots. For once Eccles was wearing a bright coloured pair.Was it more noticeable last night because he wore red boots?
He's maturing into a very good midfielder, you can see he is working on his progressive passing and moving the ball quicker but for me the most impressive thing has been the leadership he is starting to showReally gone to another level last couple of games. Was excellent last night.
In the Sky coverage last night we ranked 5th in the Championship for goals scored from corners since the start of last seasonHe’s been good and his progression the past couple of seasons has been impressive.
He is a good defensive mid; he is no more than that and I think that’s why some don’t rate him. But he does that job well and has a brilliant engine.
Never likely to score goals or do particularly fancy stuff other than the odd nice pass. Tracks back well, tackles well, passes forwards, makes himself available and is technically decent with the ball at his feet.
I am also glad he no longer takes corners

Like someone has already said he can do a dozen things well in a game but if he misplaced a pass or loses the ball he's instantly damned by some . It's very weirdHe's excellent and has been for a while. Some of the stick he gets on here is ridiculous.
It was only the other week someone was saying he's League two level ffs.
What stats are you looking at? When I’ve compared the two Sheaf is better in almost every one, many significantly.He isn't and last season's stats backed that up . They both have different strengths and weaknesses but Sheaf isn't " head and shoulders" above Eccles at all
