PodgeyRam Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 What I wouldn't give to have that man back right now. Passionate and a true leader on the pitch. People say we're lacking leaders. He was one. Not a bad passer of the ball either. Damn sight better defensively as well than some people will give him credit for. No coincidence our fall in McClaren's last season came with his injury troubles. He's a big part of the reason Wigan have only conceded 40 goals (9th best in the league which is superb for a relegation candidate). At the risk of angering certain posters on here - Cheers Pearson.

Parsnip Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I used to see Bucko out walking his dog a lot. Always on his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you bring up the past! But yes, selling Bucko was a crazy decision and I said as much at the time. He was a good honest pro and would have run through brick walls for the club.

I'd run through brick walls for the club but we'd probably lose 10-0 every week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsy1884 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 The fact we chose Pearce over Bucko is yet another example of Pearsons sheer in-capabilities. I have said it before and I will say it again Pearce is not a good defender and does not fit our system. Inept on the ball, clumsy in defense, useless in the air and for me doesnt talk enough. Get rid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You bring players in because they can do the job. I think Bucko could still do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Bucko was always massively underrated. He didn't go on crazy runs and he didn't wear bright coloured boots. Not Hollywood enough for a lot of our fanbase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
