Curtains Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Whitbread played well tonight simple Him and Keogh are good together ie left and right side CBs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Buxton was superb against Fulham, so I don't think Whitbread can really expect to play at the weekend, but it's good to hear he played well tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb is a bit strong for Buxton against Fulham ! Roy McFarland and Colin Todd could be described as superb and playing against better teams all the time week in week out.

Rev Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Disagree. Think he distribution is better. Much more mobile on the ball too. More mobile I can agree with, but a better passer than Buxton, not on tonight's showing, well as he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Disagree. Think he distribution is better. Much more mobile on the ball too.Whitbreads short forwards and sideways passing is great. How many timew did we turn defense into attack with long diagonal balls to wide men in space tonight? Thats the element we lose without bucko, its also the element/option which makes teams not press us and gives more room in midfield to play.

JoetheRam Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Whitbread and Buxton are our two best centre backs, but Whitbread and Keogh should play on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McMuffin Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Whitbread is more commanding dominant and mobile. I like Whitbread hopefully will get a run if games and if he does he could be a good leader from the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Worked against Sheff Wed and Charlton away did it. Didnt go to either so cant comment, however against Fulham it did. Rotherham his passong was off and we huffed and puffed against an organised packed midfield just like we did tonight without him playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well, Sage was critical of his forward approach play with the ball, so expect some criticism later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxton is playing well I agree but looks to be carrying an injury. Rest him for after the international break. It's a squad game. Mac might decide that Bucko plays against Ipswich who knows but he did praise Whitbread tonight. PS Charlton were better than Fulham . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 If Bucko is carrying an injury, there's nothing to think about, it'd be different if there was nobody to replace him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Well, Sage was critical of his forward approach play with the ball, so expect some criticism later. Aha...yes he doesn't move forward into space then pass when a man is drawn out to him, like Keogh and Buxton both do. He played well, but it was against Charlton's back up forwards. How good would their CBs look against Best and Kwame Thomas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukedcfc Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Whitbread should keep the shirt after tonights performance. If he was gven a run of games I think we would keep more cleans tbh. But I doubt he will play on saturday unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyRam! Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 keep saying this and will continue to do so, mark my words He's good against poorer opposition but against any decent skillful opponent he will get done, again and again and again. not good enough.

Stive Pesley Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He had a good game I'll give him that. But ask yourselves this: IS HE A FOOTBALL GENIUS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 How anyone can think that Buxton, needing an operation, is better than a fully fit Whitbread is beyond me. Buxton spent more time grimacing in pain against Fulham than on the ball and I think Charlton's attack last night was much better/more experienced than Fulhams at the weekend.
