I am not at the game today but getting regular updates from my son, I think now is the time to look at the defence as they are all over 30 but in particular Buxton his legs have gone and he just needs to hang them up right now absolutely embarrassing this season, he might win the odd header but he is so slow it’s unbelievable do the honourable thing and retire now

I am here today, for once... It's not down to Jake in any capacity. Our whole defence has been all over the place today. Can't deal with a cross at all.

I wouldn't blame Bucko for todays result, we gave them the game, too many individual mistakes and just poor decision making.
O'Hara for one goal, no pressure punts the ball out of play at the halfway line, they pick it up quick throw in bang they score.
They didn't need to be that good sadly today, we didn't take enough care when we had the ball, we simply got bullied off it and not strong enough.

Cleetus, or should I say, Clueless, Jake was not at fault today. He regularly wins headers against players bigger than him, using his strength to outmuscle opponents. Lost count in games of how many times he throws himself in the way of shots to make blocks and prevent goals.
Some disappointing performances today by several players but to single Jake out for his recent play shows a poor understanding of the game

Whatever cbh, I have played plenty of football and been to plenty of games to know when someone is not good enough anymore. Have you seen the first 2 goals away against Bolton?? Buxton should never have been offered a contract this season, not necessarily his fault but his legs have gone fact. You carry on with your rose tinted glasses and your opinion I am far from clueless pal do one

You carry on with your rose tinted glasses and your opinion I am far from clueless pal do one I agree with you Cleetus Buxton is a joke and the "I've just used a rather silly word and been auto-edited" saying your clueless obviously is that clueless he don’t know what it means he’s slow uses other players to win headers and if too old to play all you fans just lick his arse |

I was at Bolton. First goal was down to our defenders committing too far forwards. Lucas’ shot is cleared off the line and with one pass their winger is away to whack one in from 25 yards. Second one, Reece doesn’t close down and allows a deflected cross to reach their man who scores.
Jake has never been blessed with pace but is our most whole hearted defender without doubt. Can we get quicker, more mobile players? probably but Jake’s reading and commitment is second to none.

Thanks frogman another person who can see it, Buxtons legs went 2 years ago fact to slow fact. We need a younger back 4 for sure

Wow Frogmanny. Another post where you can’t help but swear or slag off Jake. Hardly a reliable poster. Dyer returning as player/coach? Max Bird?
Cleetus -I agree we need to get some younger blood in the defence but Jake is not the main issue. We are failing, as a whole team, to defend our goal well enough.

Gotta agree. Can't slate a player based on a live text feed...
We might have signed a new CB anyway.

You said you weren't there Cleetus. Bit rich I thnk to single out Buxton on what your son told you isn't it?
I was surprised when Jake was given a new contract after the relegation season. However in fairness to him, from what I have seen over the past 2 seasons he has got fitter and worked harder and his positioning and blocking is often excellent. He never was the fastest even for a defender, and clearly he's not going to get any faster now. Due to my location I can't see as many games as I would like and most of those I see are away. He has not disgraced himself in any I have seen, quite the reverse. And that's not "arse licking" Frogmanny!

Not particularly surreybrewer I am judging it on what I have seen of him the last 2 seasons, my son has pretty much been to every home game this season and over half the away games so I think he has seen enough also to have an opinion

Who else do you think is finished Brayford and Akins. Frazier is not the quickest, Liam can't hold the ball if he tried. And yet we on the edges of the play offs, Clought must be doing something right.
