Will Buckley

[Stockseagull]

I would maybe like to see a 4 2 3 1 formation next game with bridcutt and reyes as the 2 holding mids then noone, vicente and buckly infront and cms upfront think that would be a deadly formation think buckly going to be amazing for us in the future if he can sort out his injuries

agree that putting Vicente and Buckley in the team together is a target to move us on. Lets try it 3rd round of cup. Putting two players just back from injury will expose us - so one at a time is a conservative approach. Think that with only one up top, nooney is not effective. So Hosky 7 has to play up top with Macca- he will be class when he gets fit. Just some of his touches at Derby were quality. Barn door Billy needs to lose a stone in weight if he wants to play at this level.

Me too. Might help to fill the empty casm of options that seems to exist in our midfield.

I like Mr Bucks, he reminds me a little of Steve McManamanamanamn. A flighty fella with the ball at his feet.

At the risk of repeating myself, I think Buckley, when fit, is the only one of our current squad that could play for a Premiership side with little difficulty. The guy is simply class. Pace and skill on the ball is a deadly combination and Buckley has those attributes in abundance. For me he almost looks quicker than KLL - awesome.

He is simply superb however we need to really nurse him through games as best possible whilst he seems to be prone to injury.

 

[Originunknown]

Very good on the ball, plays with urgency, quick, good vision and has strength... unlike Harley/Barnes etc

WB is a very complete player and I hope he can get into regular starts because we would look far better IMO

 

[Beach Hut]

Didn't realise he is only 21, hope he has signed a long contract

Agree with this entirely ... think his 0-60 might eclipse KLL who's brilliant too. In his little pitch time this season Buckley has been the stand out performer for me

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

He seems to just run (very quickly) directly at the goal. Gets defenders back pedalling. Completely electrifying.

One fly in the oinkment seems to be his head. Not getting very promising noises out of him and the other players/Gus who have commented. there is defo more to his 'injuried' than being injured. Hope he gets his head straight and drives us to the play-offs this year.
