brad blit Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Quite simply a beast! Makes such a difference with him in the side, a proper no nonsense defender who does the simple pass in possession and nothing passes him! Kodjia will obviously get plaudits as best signing but this guy isn't far behind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roe Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Brilliant performance from him, Flint and Ayling at the back. That's what can happen when defenders work as a unit. They cleared almost everything and Baker was a huge part of that. He only got caught out once early in the second half when he took a throw in quite far up the pitch and didn't get back quick enough but other than that he was excellent. Looks a class act and I certainly wouldn't mind him joining us long term based on what we've seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 It's no coincidence that Flint bear performances this season have come when he has Baker alongside him. Flint was immense tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SedRA Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I was going to start a thread on him. Quality player, positional sense and reading of the game is top notch. 3 minutes ago, smokey live said: can aston villa recall him? or is that not valid on season loans? I think you can pay a loan fee, which makes the parent club unable to recall them. Not sure if we did on Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Baker, Flint and Ayling hardly put a foot wrong between them. A very solid combination. Ayling was MOTM for me tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeeebles Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Flint was my MOTM tonight. I thought he was immense. Threw himself in front of a couple of chances to block them. Baker and Ayling were excellent also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyolly Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 He really has looked good and brought the best of others I think, not just Flint. Been really impressed with his distribution as well as his never say die attitude as a defender. Sign him on!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfctim Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 The difference he makes to the defence in terms of leadership and a calming influence is unreal. Already such an important player for us. Let's pray he stays relatively injury free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing player when he was on loan... The difference is Baker is a slightly injury prone 24 year old who will still harbour ambitions of making it as a Premiership player. A couple of seasons ago he was a virtual ever present for Villa. Dinning was a journeyman pisstaker, who simply stopped trying once he got a contract. We've had plenty of loan signings since who were nothing like Dinning. I doubt very much we'll be able to afford Baker permanently anyway, but him (and Kodjia) staying fit will be a big part of whether we survive or not.

Was that Baker? I thought it was Ayling. Great effort though. I especially liked the other City player stood over him ready to clear the ball thinking (it was written all over his face) "What on earth are you doing?". Or words to that effect.
