McMuffin Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 9 hours ago, ValeRam said: Bucko is needed as long as we are in the championship , he's a winner and also one of the few to provide a genuine threat from set pieces. He would be my third choice CB every day of the week and I don't think we can afford to be without him. Although it would be great, I cannot see Keogh and Shack going the whole season without missing a game - at which time the choice of replacement between Bucko, Pierce and Shotton is an absolute no brainer for the former in my opinion. Not sure how he would get on in the Premier but we can cross that bridge another day. Having said all that, I suspect one of the three will be moving on in January so that may change the dynamic. What's he won? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of challenges, a lot of interceptions through his reading of the game & passing ability, and a lot of respect from those who know anything about the game. However, not everyone does, but that is OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love them two, top class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could twist it the other way and say when Christie and Baird aren't fit would you call Bucko up to be right back? at least Shots and Baird have played there.... And to be honest I would rate at least Baird better than Bucko at centre half.... That's my view... He maybe 3rd/4th best centre half at the minute... Not going to deny that. But does anyone actually believe he will get back into a regular slot again? I don't think he will be. Happy to proved wrong as always and as always I will fully admit I'm wrong on here and wherever else bucko may not get on the bench for the reason you mention, but again should there be a suspension or injury I still think Bucko would lay ahead of Shotton because a fully fit Bucko is better than Shotton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irobinson Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Love Bucko - but we are now moving into a new era.........and he will probably move on at the end of the season.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see a host of premier league clubs knocking on shackells door or keoghs for that matter in the summer. Maybe top championship defenders.

Donny Ram Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Keogh much improved this season which is probably down to having Shacks along side him, tightest defence n the league can't just be a fluke. As for Bucko, he's been a great servant of the club but wouldn't begrudge him a move for regular football providing we get a reasonable offer off say £400-£600k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
