cannable Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 IF IF IF we are to pass it out from the back and defend with a high line then we are making a terrible mistake. If we're to adopt a deep line and a no nonsense aproach to defending then I wouldn't be surprised to see Keogh to have a fight on his hands from Pearce.

Srg Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 4 minutes ago, SaintRam said: Think Pearce playing the full 90 is a statement that management sees a place for him in the squad (as the primary CB backup), he can't have been high on the fitness charts after his game time last season. I think given his age, his history as a captain and even having been linked with the likes of Liverpool shows he has good ability. Frankly, I feel more comfortable with him than I do with Buxton. I love Buxton's heart, and everyman attitude. But his ability is limited and he deserves to go somewhere and play everyweek as a 31 year old.

Jake to me will always be remembered affectionately for what he did for the 'togetherness' of the squad - a '110%' bloke who lived every moment of the dream. Of course, bagging the winner against the Dirties and the Gumps helps to raise a player to 'legend' status, and Bucko is definitely that. Biggest heart since Big Dave hung his boots up.

A bigger heart than big Dave... Will be a big loss, if it happens. I don't know what options bucko has, but if he goes elsewhere I hope we get very good money for him.

BondJovi Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 As much as I love the guy, maybe his injury record doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 He has been good for us and we have been good for him, if he wants regular football which he should then wish him well and get as much money as possible ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Ram Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Buxtons seems like a top bloke would run through a brick wall and always gives 100%. Technically though he isnt good enough for the level we want to be at and i wish him well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottrillRAM Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Buxton is a like Conor Sammon, both have an incredible work rate and will always give 100% but their footballing ability isn't quite to the standard we need it to be! Best of luck to him wherever he goes and he'll get a massive welcome back to the iPro. Didn't he start doing some coaching badges too? So there's a possibility that he'd be back in a few years if that's the case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopRam Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Love Buxton and his work rate he's given some great memories but at times his work rate covers the cracks off his poor preformances, if he does go i wish him the best off luck and he could be the player that keeps Wigan in this league, if so Wigan have had 2 decent experienced players off us in Buxton and Warnock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on plenty of performances. Over a season since he had a run in the team but don't see what that has to do with judging his technical ability?

Sith Happens Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 We were lucky last season that keogh and shackell remained injury and suspension free. My concern would be sell Bucko, one of them gets injured and we suddenly need to go into the loan market etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
