Keogh - is he all that?

I thought you spent the match watching Sammon like a hawk..?

666... I did, and he was carp too...

He even scuffed his goal against Cardiff.

Maybe the stick im giving Keogh is a little unfair... I would still rather have had Shackell any day of the week though.

Danny Collins is better than him.

Greg Halford is better than him.

Elliott Ward is better than him.

Sam Hutchinson is better than him.

Jamaal Lascelles is better than him.


Hope this answers your question

Jesus spotty, haven't you got gainful employment or something, or have you been suspended from school?

He went to school? My word, our education system is in a bigger mess than I thought.

Coming back to the original comments..................
We have been playing all season with one hand tied behind our backs. I can understand why Shackell was sold and replaced with Keogh - a better captain and willing to go where it hurts - but the problem of Barker's absence for the whole season needed properly addressing. Instead of an experienced CB to work as an instinctive unit with Keogh he has had a series of partners who have often been unfit and always needed directives. He has covered for them and coached but has had no-one to instinctively cover for hm when needed
We have asked too much of him - but he has accepted the load cheerfully and carried the defence. This problem could have again been addressed in January. It will persist next season because Barker will not be fit for some months. It has cost us a lot of points.
Then there is the problem of lack of height at the back ........................... .

He went to school? My word, our education system is in a bigger mess than I thought.

Relegation? Fodder? All definitely relative terms in Derby and Derbyshire.

got a few friends who are Coventry fans and were glad to see the back of him.

what was said at the time we signed him is that he can look the part for long periods of games, but often goes missing when it matters and crumbles under pressure, tending to panic like the much younger players and shirking responsibility rather than instilling confidence in the team around him and taking games by the scruff. At the same time he rarely actually looks at fault.

I think we've seen this on set pieces, our inability to organize things, and players seemingly not taking responsibility.

Some of the harsher views I've heard actually believe he played a big part in their relegation and claim they're not missing him at all.

The problem is combined with an all-heart, no real skill player like Buxton you end up with a not-so-solid defence, prone to being drawn out and exposed.
