EpidemicRam Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 How many goals did we actually concede through corners / set piece from the wings though? Obviously, we can't put an actual figure on it but I remember remarking towards the end of last season that, for saying we were supposedly weak at defending crosses, I couldn't think of the last one we'd conceded from. Now i think about it. You're right. Its just that i think, after watching keogh, he will prove to be better. I may be wrong but only time will tell like i said 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloughskindredspirit Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 IMO it worries me that we have relegated players we have so many defenders that surely one from prem would be better option spend on one good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i84est Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 It worries me that he gets turned in the box very easily he got done by adebola at burton and again last night seems to be scared of chalenge hope he gets better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, staying on your feet is good defending, not 'scared of a challenge'. I thought he was excellent on tuesday night. And regarding Adebola, Keogh got out-muscled once in the entire game - and whatever you think of Adebola talent-wise, he's strong enough to out-muscle any defender at any level of football.

adamD Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 i feel that him and barker (if he ever recovers) would be a very steady mix as keogh is very good on the ball and seems to use his brain rather than panic but barker is a big tackler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Nowt wrong with Keogh and Buxton. So long as he has someone established next to him Buxton looks very decent. His last poor performance must have been before his long term injury, and even just before that he and Barker had a decent spell together. Bit too much optimism so I'll finish my post by saying Conor Doyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit too much optimism so I'll finish my post by saying Conor Doyle. I only recall him having one bad game, and all I really remember about it was it was after a long injury layoff and was almost immediately followed by the one that kept him out until mid last year. I remember being slated by posters on another forum for saying that Buxton would be a valuable player for us once he's back, back early mid last season. I then remember being slated for saying that he can do a job at this level. He was always solid when given a run in the team and I don't doubt that he could do a good job this season, the only thing that really worries me about him is his injury record.
