Coventry City

Josh Eccles

Josh Eccles sits in front of the back four and screens danger before it reaches Coventry's defence, breaking up moves with tackles rather than covering every blade of grass. He came through the club's academy, which shows in how naturally he reads their whole attack.

Josh Eccles, The Midfielder Who Screens The Defence

He grew up inside Coventry's academy, and it shows in how naturally he reads their attacking patterns now.

Eccles sits in front of the back four and screens danger before it reaches Coventry's defence, breaking up moves with well timed tackles rather than trying to cover every blade of grass across the pitch. He came through the club's own academy, which shows in how naturally he reads the pattern of a Coventry attack building around him. That upbringing tells him exactly where he needs to stand to keep it moving.

The tension in his game is a lack of end product for a midfielder who gets on the ball as often as he does, rarely threatening the goal himself despite his central involvement. Eccles has always been valued more for reliability than for moments that decide matches, and that trade off suits a manager who wants control rather than spectacle. Watch whether he adds more direct goal threat this season.

Five Premier League keepers have three clean sheets from five games, but Konstantinos Tzolakis has made the most saves of the group. In the Championship, George Wickens has matched Lawrence Vigouroux's four clean sheets while facing far more shots.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
