Alex W Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Anyone remember Jake Buxton, he was a central defender for us. What happened to him? Nerve damage, by my reckoning he still has 3 weeks left on the sidelines, should start running again in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Ram Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Barker, Leacock, Anderson, Addison and Brayford are all better centre-backs. I don't think Buxton will get much of a sniff once he's fit. He'd have made the bench today, no more than that. I don't dislike him, he's a wholehearted lad, a trier, but only good enough as cover.

Bristol Ram Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 if had been there today we would of had brayford at right back Doubt it. He likes the solution of Green at right-back and Brayford at centre-back when Barker or Leacock is missing. If he didn't want to do it he'd have played Anderson.

If he didn't want to do it he'd have played Anderson. I don't think anderson was fit enough to have played today, he was only there as a if desperate, if needs must, ie 2 went off injured or 1 got sent off and 1 got injured, scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex W Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Buxton has played left back in his career, but our left back spot requires dribbling ability and pace, neither of which Jake has. He's decent back up, he can be in the reserves till needed on the bench or pitch for £2,000 a week. Good deal I think. He can help out the youngsters in the reserves and he's good back up on nothing in terms of wages in comparison with other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like Buxton. Really want him to come back strongly. After so long out though i think he's going to find it tough finding his feet here. It'll be handy when we have Anderson, Addison and Buxton all injury free at the same time. Probably all injured again when we need one of em. Typical. :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 i quite like buxton too played well last season before he got injured scored a cracker too didn't he The ball came to him from half-way, he was on the edge of the area, panicked, turned and shot at goal. Plymouth match I think. Great goal, but I think he still thought he was in defence. I like Jake. No nonsense defender, he did very well for us last year. I do worry that, having been out so long, he'll find it very difficult to find that form again for us when he's back. He's a good backup at this level, and his performance at Newcastle away last year was heroic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyRAM Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Buxton is just too slow and not doesn't have good enough distribution to play regular for a Championship team. He does works hard and is solid in the air. I don't mind him as back up, and will always remember him fondly for his performance alongside Barker against Notts Forest last year.
