I'd say below average. Or lower half at best. We should be looking at better, our weakest position imo.

Oh he's bad.

Ok genuinely what's very big money and what time scale you putting on it?

Surely I'd take the easy option and agree as it would be alot easier no? You realise I would "call him out" because I'd listen to "player well today" or "credit to bucko today" when he did nothing or very little. Seemed alot of people just wanted to keep highlighting anything. Had my fill of it so yeah I was all over it. I can admit that. Equally, that goal at Birmingham last day of the season was a peach. I do have the ability to praise the lad.

Some people just want to be in the "right" camp..it was definitely a thing and not a minority at all. I'll also state I was being extreme and would rate Buckley higher than Lowe. I do remember he scored a peach against Boro maybe?

To lighten the mood...There is a recently released premier League right back sat across from me at my hotel in Portugal. Shall I ask is he fancies joining as cover...

Sound familiar? 😉

Wont deny I have slammed him. What's your point? I have been a MASSIVE critic..I'll debate it with anyone and point it out because I feel it needs to be. You are new around here, you'll settle in champ.

Gally gets panned on here and I'm on the fence, Buckley had a similar season to him. Add Khadra, Pickering, Dolan into that and a few other also rans.

As I said. "Universally panned" apparently. I think an apology is in order ☺️

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...
