manxramselly Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Much as I love his galloping forward runs and 100% commitment I think its time we stopped being so nice,every time he gets the ball I'm worried,The man has been a liability for some time now and really is at best a lower league defender.Probably too late now but I think the search for quality partner for Shackell should be our main priority.I know he has his fans but he isn't good enough for the championship,let alone the prem.Shoot me now.

WorksopRam Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think he's certainly good enough for the Championship and us. Last night was a rare bad game from him this season, and I honestly put that down in part to his face problem thing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Keogh has been one of the most improved players this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Ram Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Can't say I was a massive Keogh fan, but he's improved leaps and bounds playing along side Shackell, so in the context of this season it was a definite blip for both of them and I don't think you can single out Keogh over Shackell. though I do think it's a little unforgivable to turn your back when a ball's coming into the box (I can understand why he's not keen on getting hit in the face at the moment though!)

Thierry Ennui Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Took the mask off at half time so obviously felt it was impacting his game. Played the second half with a broken nose and no protection. Can't apportion any blame to him considering his general good performance this season.

Ramshankered Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Keogh had a mare last night. So did Shacks. But for huge parts of the season they've both been immense. So I think we can cut the man some slack (I will be at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The sad thing is that there will have been some sitting there for the last 5 months waiting for him to have a bad game so they could justify crucifying him last season. Absolutely no mention of George Thorne turning his back on the cross for the first goal like a pansy, or Shackells significant contributions to 3 of their goals. Last night was a definite flashback to last season with Keogh, he lost his head and started charging around again but to hang him out to dry alone is ridiculous.

Duracell Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 "Lower league at best". So what is he when he's not at his best? Should we sell him to Alfreton now or in the summer? Or maybe he can go to Chesterfield if he plays at his best for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He lost it last night and you could see that rattled Shackell as well. However he's been very good this season and our defence has gained us a heck of a lot of points this season, hopefully last night was a one off.

Van der MoodHoover Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'll repeat what I wrote elsewhere. The og got into his head and the eyes went. Needs the proverbial arm round the shoulder. The og was unfortunate but an accident. As was the pen. Note that he gave that away whilst on his feet which many on here have criticised him for diving off. Thought gray went over a bit easily myself but it was asking for trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The problem with Keogh is that his mistakes and poor decisions invariably cost a goal. Whilst he's been calm and collected for 80% of the season, the 20% is the business end and what separates the winners and the also rans. If you have calm and erratic players, the calm ones should be defensive and the erratic should be attacking, sadly we have it the wrong way around. Keogh is always one-step away from being a calamitous flapper, and anything or nothing can trigger that. Whether it be diving to the ground or taking his eye off the ball, or not jumping for defensive headers or running towards the ball instead of trusting his team-mate, he frequently makes a bad decision. I think he got away with it early season as we didn't face much attack, but now teams have sussed us out, Keogh struggles, and trust me, he will get worse and make more mistakes. It's his nature. As for Shackell, just a show pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor1946 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Why was he playing with a broken nose,when Pearce was brought in the summer to strengthen our defence. OH ,, was spotted in Bristol,,,are they paying his full wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned Thorne doing that in one of the other threads, awful defending by him, he did a similar thing against Forest too this season where he simply couldn't be bothered to chase back he definitely has that side in him (I seem to be the only one that thinks he may not be as amazing as everyone thinks he is by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
