I would say he's been completely anonymous in games, doesn't really seem to do anything, they just pass him by. Entirely underwhelming.

Quoted from Heisenberg


He is just a kid though. Could turn out great given time, who knows….


Oh absolutely, but he's not our player and if he's not having an impact in league two games at present then worrying about his future development isn't our problem! Would much rather see our own young players given an opportunity in the last few games of the season.

If he was our 18 year old player I'd be excited to see how he progresses as he definitely has some technical ability, just hasn't quite got to grips with it when he's played. Looked promising in his first game but a couple of substitute appearances against Northampton and Sutton where nothing seemed to go right for him, although he was getting involved. Cack against Carlisle but then every player was. Did alright tonight I thought when he came on but the ball was mostly up our end as we defended a rare home lead

Not been given much game time but been dross the last couple of appearance including tonight.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

He was OK tonight. Retained possession reasonably well when it came to him and didn't do much wrong. The previous occasions I've seen him play, he's not done anything right at all, so that's an improvement.

Much too early for him for men's football at the moment, but give him a year or two and he might turn out OK.

Get the sense that he’s a better player than he’s shown in his limited opportunities. When selected, hasnt done enough to secure his selection for the next game but wouldn’t be surprised to see him flourish at Champ level over the next 2/3 years. Thanks for lending him to us and all the best to PNE.

Don’t rate him at all and has shown nothing since he’s been here.

If you offered him for free at the end of the season I personally wouldn't want him. I've probably seen 1 good performance from him, admittedly his game time is limited but there is a reason for that.

Quoted from Yan89
Alright ladies and gents,

Preston fan here - hope this is OK to post, but if not feel free to remove.

Been checking here during/after most games since Mikey joined, and it’s seemed unanimously negative where the lad’s been concerned - seen a few posts suggesting he’s not ready for men’s football, and he’s a bit lightweight. Was wondering if that opinion is based on odd key moments in games, or whether it’s been a constant whenever he’s played?

He’s been really strong in our academy for a good 18 months and has played 4 or 5 games for our senior side - mainly off the bench late on in games - but hasn’t been given a real chance as yet so I’m interested to see how he’s got on with you. I did notice he didn’t make the bench a few games in a row.

Anyway - all the best for the rest of the season, and here’s hoping next season is a successful one


As you’ll see there’s a few experts on here who believe they can judge a player just starting out by a few cameos in an inconsistent L2 side still to find its own identity in terms of way of playing.

Hasn’t really made an impact but hasn’t been given much game time in reality, coming on as a sub doesn’t give any illustrations either.

What I would say is that he must have a decent attitude otherwise Hurst would have sent him back.
