If Buckley is as good as Duff how long do you expect him to stay? Club got 6 years out of Duff because Jack was around and then Abramovich showed up. If Buckley is as good there's little point getting excited if he's sold to the first bidder after 5 mins. That's the point being made.

He was player of the season that year and that includes the 3 months Kidd was around. Dunn handed in a transfer request (while Parkes was caretaker) can't ever recall Duff handing in one. When kidd was manager duff was dropped and would of been sold. Dunn was not featuring either and also would have been sold. Parkes reinstated them and then Souness built his team around them.

Vinjay Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well Kidd was a disaster but I can't remember him dropping Duff. Maybe you're right. There's no "maybe" about Dunn's transfer request though it was under Parkes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked technically decent, but is built like a schoolboy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AspRover Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 I thought he looked decent on the ball, tidy few touches, bit of pace, looked to get forwards. Also looked like he'd be brushed off the ball by passing butterflies. It could be that once he's had a bit of first team football and got used to having to stand up to first team professionals he'll be fine, it happens sometimes, the step up can be a bit of a shock. Alternatively we need to lock him in the gym for a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the first sentence, you acknowledge that he needs a loan to another club. Then you have a go at the fans for wanting success this instance for not giving him a chance. People want him to succeed, why wouldn’t they want any of our players to? If a player isn’t ready for the first team, they shouldn’t be playing in it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both go at the ball at the same time, both using a high foot, Brum player gets it first. Don't think Buckley even knew he was there. I'm not actually blaming the lad for that one, despite the temptation as at first glance it looks a little shambolic. But he absolutely was not fouled. Thought he did a lovely pull back to lay a pass off at another point. But christ he is easy to push off the ball when players get close enough. Needs more core strength. Not necessarily muscle, but definitely strength. And physical knowhow. And a loan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily muscle, but definitely strength. And physical knowhow. And a loan. I was at the Rochdale game yesterday. There were a few similar " coming together " type incidents were the ref gave a freekick. Funnily enough they were usually given to Newcastle. I hadn't seen a Premier League team in the flesh for a while and I was amazed how much Premier League teams treat football as a non contact sport these days.. The slightest touch and down they went, nearly always followed by being given a free kick. Get into a tricky situation, just fall over, 90% of the time you'll get a free kick in your favour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him to Barrow for the rest of the season...although they are looking at promotion so he might not get into that team..... I know the Charnock Richard manager, Buckley might do a job for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
