I think there's more of a player in Buckley than we are currently seeing. But he needs to start showing it before his career fizzles out. He's definitely not a right back, that's for sure.

The missed chance by Buckley summed it up for me; there's no winners in the side. A winner would have busted a gut to get the ball over the line.

Good spot - you could well be right. Which then begs the question of how many 'free' senior slots we have, and whether we need to move someone out to make room for a defender loan?

Completely agree about him having a good game, constantly tracked back to help Douglas out at RB. He was knackered at the end.

Exactly this. Chapman has freed a 1st team squad place up, so we may see a defensive loan come in. In the meantime, Mowbray will be crossing his fingers on Travis returning, Ayala getting fitter, and Douglas miraculously being able to run. Risky business though, with some difficult games coming up in January.

First post from me, so here goes... We can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives, no matter whom Mowbray picks in the back 4 or what exotic formation he tries to instill. 2-1 loss. I hope I'm wrong.
