Kaminski Lenihan Van Hecke Wharton Nyambe Rothwell Travis (Debatable as had a poor season imo) BBD All performed better than Buckley last season...you disagree?

Jason Lowe 100% got similar favouritism but unfortunately revisionist history will shut all that down. You still going for the passive aggressive approach here? 🤣 Buckley not even in the top 5 performers last year yet some on here are being force fed the narrative we can't see what others with superior football intelligence can. Can you tell me who else I should rate that isn't putting in consistent performances so we can all catch up?

If that's the approach let's get Jason Lowe Adam Henley back.

I love when people pull out the "so someone who has a different opinion to yours"...you realise people have different opinions on a variety of topics yeah? So yeah I feel people over exaggerate and make excuses for certain players. This can't be a new revelation to you or is it? Been going on in football forever.

I can respect that view. And in return I will grant you that he does have a killer ball in him and has played a few excellent passes in his time. Again, I feel like he's close to being what I feel people will him to be but a time has to come where you have to be fair with your assessment.

Ah ok...I see what you are doing. I'll answer, I'd say a Buckley lover is someone who over exaggerate his performances and make excuses for poor runs of form and question anyone who thinks he is not all that, as we have seen already today.

Wow🤣 ok pal. Did Jal hurt you? Seems to be living rent free in your head. And before you try spin it, I don't post all the time and when I do it's never got a reaction. I'm not a troll. You have labelled me "snidey, patronising, Jalesque" yet act like somehow I've attacked you. Happy to debate with others on this but yeah please but me in your little section you've threatened.

Are my posts really that confusing seriously? Surely you know what I'm saying. Not sure exactly what you are trying to prove here.

Are you ok? Patronising? Answered the question. I based it on watching him and despite wanting him to be what I thought he could be or shows glimpses of it simply wasn't the case. My patience wore thin. It's easy when you have a player from the academy to let off the hook or makes excuses for or whatever. The list I gave of what I felt he was guilty of last year I'd say is very fair and accurate. If you dislike it or disagree, counter argue it. Do you think you saying you'll put me in the "Jal section" would bother me? You engaged with me.

Pretty accurate breakdown..no help needed. All the Buckley lovers quiet as mouse's for months last season have now reared their heads again. Think you may need help.

My eyes and ability to not just tell myself something I want to be true. Not enough assists, not enough goals, went missing so often, missed multiple one on ones, dilly dallied in possession countless times. You disagree?

Oh no they are doing the weird thing of erasing how bad Buckley was last season overall and trying to convince others to drink the kool-aid. Another season of hearing how good poor performances are and how stunning decent performances are. All to save face. Yawn.

Go on...

I'm not sure the reason so many youngsters have gotten some game time is because of their undeniable ability and more to do with the fact we are paper thin squad wise and and having to play youngsters as opposed to the time being right.

In some places it was...

Trav found that hard going. Let's out a big "fuck me" when greeting JRC at full time. Good valuable minutes under the belt for all involved.

Welcome to big boy footy young man.

I'm not that worked up at the overall performance btw. Just frustrated with the full backs mainly and it's not based just on today but after a few weeks of not watching today brings it all flooding back. Long term gripe, I don't expect us to go toe to toe with Celtic.

John Hartson on co-comms

You would have to explain a hug to Pickering, he's never got close enough to anyone to experience one.

Vale showing glimpses...nice to see.

Glad you acknowledged he is back long enough so fair play. It's not an excuse anymore, there are none.

Brereton touch on that Diaz lad...

I said in the transfer thread left back in was the biggest issue for me and that's in a team that needs alot of work...today hopefully brings to light just how bad we need a decent one because going on with Pickering is asking for trouble.

They are starting to mock Harry now, tricks and nutmegs being pulled out 👍
