G STAR RAM Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 He then had a trial with Crewe, Crewe FFS and they didn't think he was good enough for them and the only other offer he had was a conference team. Oh please come on. I'm sure we could produce a list of thousands of footballers who have been released after a trial at a club and gone on to much bigger better things.

It's not just though is it - relegation from the football league - failed trial at Crewe - no interest/offers from championship level since here - our shocking defence - slow - drops too deep because too slow - give the ball way - hoof - countless late goals - making Glenn Murray look like a 100M sprinter Positives - honest - try's his best See positives to show my opinion is balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 But of course, you take absolutely no pleaure from insulting and slagging off our own players. It's not like it's your raison d'être as a poster or anything, no siree. "It's not just though is it" Nope, it isn't I agree, your opinion is anything but 'just'.

joeb93 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I agree we need a new centre half to play at side of keogh but slating buxton is very harsh. The man has come on leap and bounds and has scored very important goals for us. Everyone needs to stop pointing out the obvious. Dont you think clough will want a centre back maybe the funds arent there, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It's not just though is it - relegation from the football league HE DID THIS ALL BY HIMSELF? I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING PROMOTION IN THE POSITIVES THEN - failed trial at Crewe WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FAILED? WHAT DID HE DO WRONG? - no interest/offers from championship level since here SOURCE? - our shocking defence MADE UP OF 3 OTHER PLAYERS AND A GOALKEEPER. HOW MANY GOALS DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTABLE TO HIM IN RECENT TIMES? - slow WON'T DISPUTE THIS FACT, ASSUME HE GETS SKINNED WEEK IN WEEK OUT THEN? YOU DESCRIBED DARREN MOORE AS SLOW BUT THEN WENT ON TO SAY IT DIDN'T MATTER BECAUSE HE WON A LOT OF HEADERS - drops too deep because too slow REALLY? - give the ball way AS MUCH AS SHACKELL USED TO? - hoof PLEASE WATCH HIM PLAY RATHER THAN JUDGE ON WHAT HE DID WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE - countless late goals IS THIS EVEN A VALID POINT? DO YOU HOLD THE SAME POINT AGAINST KEOGH, BRAYFORD, LEFT BACK, GOALIE? - making Glenn Murray look like a 100M sprinter SEE POINT NUMBER 5 (ALREADY COVERED) Positives - honest - try's his best See positives to show my opinion is balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMuffin Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Does the "countless late goals" refer to his winners against the gumps and the dirties? A couple of goals doesn't cover up season after season of ***** defending. It does for some people by the sounds of it. Our defence is WEAK so so WEAK and can't believe anyone would suggest we're good at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Grant - Above Championship Average keeper Smith - ? Freeman - Below Average Keogh - Average Buxton Average Forsyth - Below Average So our 2 CB's are average for the division and the fullbacks are below average standard. Our GK is class but overall I agree our defence is not top 6 and is average for the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Teale Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 We are not good at the back and I don't actually think Keogh has been as good as shackell but that's another matter. Buxton is ok and he was the better of the two for me on Sunday but clough has never quite sorted the defence out in his spell here for me, we have always looked like we could concede.

Cardifframs Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 We are Derby Jake Buxton should be nowhere near the club. Unless he was working part time in the food bit down the concourses. Just to clarify things,it may be easier,if you tell us who you like in the side. Buxton,Eustace blah blah blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've heard that Buxton, Eustace and Sammon intentionally try to injure everyone else in training to ensure their own place in the team. I demand they all retire immediately so that they can't continue to deceive and force clubs into wanting to buy and play them, the dastardly bastardly leeches.

Rich3478 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I think Buxton has improved loads since arriving. Originally thought a bit embarrassing and jobs for the boys from Clough in my eyes. He has improved a lot though, genuinely wouldn't mind him and ob being our back up at centre back. He is very short of pace, and very limited technically. However has a great attitude and work ethic. Is very honest and always gives his all. I personally don't think anyone can fault Buxton. You can do no more than try your best. Ultimately the manager should see areas we need to improve on, if he doesn't then he's making his own bed as it were. The problem is Cloughs stubbornness, he changes players that he blames and tries the same negative tactics season after season! Hopefully he'll get it right at some point, I doubt it personally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other? Alex Baptiste, a defender we all wanted. Clough confirmed that before we gave him a new contract there'd been a number of enquiries about him from Championship clubs. I'm not even going to bother replying to the point about our defence being ****. Mainly because it doesn't make sense. You emphasise how slow he is three times, yes he's slow, but pace isn't a necessessity at this level… his playing style is perfect for the Championship. It would help of he was quicker though. Let's be honest, Buxton's distributions been good for a season now, he hoofs when necessary, like a centre halves should. Remember in the 2011/12 season what Clough's tactic was when he wanted to shut up shop? He would bring Buxton on, and do you know what? It actually worked back then as well. I don't remember one home game where it didn't (I'm not sure about away games). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the team as a whole then fair enough, plenty of debatable performances to discuss. If you're talking about Jake then you're wrong. Simple as. The bloke as had maybe two dodgy games out of the 70 odd he's played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
