Van der MoodHoover Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 He did look a bit overweight. But in better condition than Martin who still looks to be carrying too much timber, whether that's by being out of condition or by bulking up in the gym.

MrsRam Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Oh wtf - he's a legend. Love him. Had a tear in my eye watching his interview after the game. Passion and pride is something that's all too often missing in the game. Bucko has it in spades and hey - that's what Leicester has tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Give me a player who maximises what he has (Buxton) over a skilled player whose lack of dedication sees that talent wasted (Giles Barnes?) any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a centre back he is a liability and might cost us points going into the run in. I great bloke to help out coaching the kids and that's where he belongs. Buxton makes Keogh look like Bobby Moore! It is probably better that others just think you are a fool than write stuff like this and have it confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on Giles Barnes who had pretty shocking injury and lost his greatest asset, his pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerbyRam! Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 i love bucko he puts in his all. my only concern is he seems to grab holds of the opponents shirts every single time we are defending a corner, it's going to end badly if he continues doing this....

If you speak to any of the top referees about this, they will tell you that it is viewed a little bit like basketball where there is a certain amount of manhandling accepted, and it will not be penalised until there is a directive to do so from the football authorities.

If Buxton only had passion, attitude and effort he’d not get the support he does. It’s the combination of his passion, attitude and effort together with his obvious ability and skill that has turned him into a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again when you don't agree with an opinion why don't you come back with answers to why I said what I did about him lacking ability rather than personal attacks is it because I am right? If I am not right please do tell all of what he brings to the pitch in skill, pace etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone ever been at Derby who lacks such attributes become so popular? What he lacks in skill he more than makes up for in will to win and passion.

toddy Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Never denied he has passion said as much in this thread earlier. Look Buxton is very much like Russell, both give 100%- but sometimes just giving 100% is not enough especially if we want promotion. We need defenders with ability like we need strikers with ability........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Buxton offers the team: a) motivation b) good passing ability, especially ling range passing c) hes our most dangerous CH in terms of goal threat - ie he scores more than all the rest. d) he actually is more comfortable on the ball than Shackell and he doesn't need 30 seconds to decide to pass to a player. e) his clearances up field generally go in the direction of Martin, providing a chance for us to retain possession. I've separated clearances from long passes for obvious reasons. f) he seldom makes mistake through panicking g)he hardly misses a header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I keep reading all of this tough guy stuff about Buxton but whilst I admire his passion he is small for a centre half and will always find difficulty against a bigger man. The ease with which Mills threw him aside was further evidence. i think he would be okay if we moved to a 3 CB system but alongside Keogh in a pairing after a long layoff he worries me. i really hope I'm wrong and wish the guy all the best.

He was a regular in the play off final season and last season too. He is limited in ability and I am sure being the kind of person he is he would be the first to admit it. But I am pretty confident if there were more Jake Buxtons in football it would be in a better place now than it is. How many higher level footballers are so humble and greatful for what they do? Jake has been at the club for some time now and has never given anything less than 100%, and while I know that isn't enough on its own I would rather have a squad of players full of passion and desire than a team full of premadonnas and mercenaries like the fateful premiership season, Hossam Ghaly and Laurent Robert anyone?? Why pick on Ghaly of all players, who was one of the few that actually looked like they actually cared and were actually decent in the latter part of that season.

CBE Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 In all the years I've watched Jake Buxton I don't think he has ever just booted the ball up the park, he always passes the ball, always played football. It's often lost on people, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You even said he brings confidence onto the pitch, now try thinking about why that might be? Is it because he is a nice bloke? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose not being afraid to make yourself look like an utter buffoon could be regarded as a plus point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
