Eccles started every game after we lost at West Brom on 1st Feb. We only lost one of those games. Hardly a squad player given both Sheaf and Hamer played alongside him for many of those.

Not sure he's what we need most but i'd be ok with it and more than that i'd be very happy to be officially above the Baggies in the pecking order. Its been a while.
You know something...Honestly go and enjoy your day instead of whining on here

Welcome your new look sky blues.
Yeah we need somebody to drive forward and link the areas of the pitch together.Im not concerned about Eccles general quality, just how the team will adjust to play without someone like Hamer in the side. We look very pedestrian in possession so far in comparison to last season. Defences are far better set when we get into the final third and that’s hampering the strikers. I think if we don’t sign a CM Robins will need to look at changing how we play a bit, maybe a slight formation change to get the best out of this squad.
I don't disagree at all but just find the writing off of players who made a decent contribution to making the play offs last season pathetic. I think we are going to have to adapt but we've got players who should be capable of it.Im not concerned about Eccles general quality, just how the team will adjust to play without someone like Hamer in the side.

As long as no fee is involvedHow they can’t make signings can they?

Where the hell has the Swift rumour come from?
John Swift is my guess
Where the hell has the Swift rumour come from?
He played most games from October and has arguably been our best player so far this season. He isn't Hamer but he is a really good player and will almost certainly play most games this season.Eccles started every game after we lost at West Brom on 1st Feb. We only lost one of those games. Hardly a squad player given both Sheaf and Hamer played alongside him for many of those.

Was an obvious tactic change after O'Hare injury and we had pretty much no attacking midfielders due to Palmer and Allen injured or lacking fitness. Definition of a squad player, stepping up because you can't play your strongest team or preferred formation due to injuries and suspension.Eccles started every game after we lost at West Brom on 1st Feb.

Not happy with him guessing?@Briles what have you heard about Swift then?
Yeah think that one is offAre we all off the Brekalo train then? What happened there?
"Have you tried Yoga?"You’ll be telling me you can’t cure depression by telling people to cheer up next!
Bit of a strange one to guessNot happy with him guessing?

Entirely different team though isn't it. Different formation with 2 up top, a lot more possession and less counter attack. Our entire game plan has changed.Was an obvious tactic change after O'Hare injury and we had pretty much no attacking midfielders due to Palmer and Allen injured or lacking fitness.

Yea he did ok playing alongside sheaf and hamer in central midfield but it looks like the plan this season is to play a midfield, which Eccles wouldn't have made the cut for a midfield 2 last season in our strongest team.
Sounds like a terribly inefficient way to make use of players that we’ve spent ~£12 million on.If we do miss out on a midfielder then I can see us playing the box formation again with Ayari and Sakamoto behind Simms/Wright
Well I guess Raoul CoulonBit of a strange one to guess
Make it even more worrying as I don't think that's playing to Eccles strengths if we are trying to play more possession and less counter attack this season.Entirely different team though isn't it.

To be fair, if we had to shift Latibeaudiere to either RWB or DM it'd leave us very short at CB.Or international DM Joel Latibeaudiere of course.
