chinapig Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Plus Pisano, who seems to be perpetually on the verge of being fit so will probably have an op soon. And for all the publicity Flint gets it looks like Baker is the key defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don’t think the Korey thing is any great surprise. Anyone who’s watched us this season knows that every attack starts with him. We need him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SedRA Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 I think Baker has been absolutely critical to our good start to the season. A level above Flint, who is half the player without him at his side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korey, we can't pass without you. Defend a set piece more like, brownhill does not have the required defensive instincts to be described as a defensive mid. We were basically playing 4- 1-1-4. Dunno what LJ was thinking with that starting 11. Should have put Wright in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bummer. LJ on the radio said that Patterson has a bug that has had him in hospital on a drip all week. Maybe that's flu but I doubt it. Baker has a grade 1 medial ligament strain in his knee which is usually 7-14 days. Smith out with the hamstring from the last game. Pisano and Đurić should be available soon. O'Neill not mentioned.

old_eastender Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 That makes more sense... if Baker is out for 7-14 days then let's hope LJ has seen enough today not to repeat the mistake of playing Hegelar CB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he did at Stoke, at Barnsley? (Not included Plymouth) in fairness, I might’ve played Wright alongside him today, but then again I would’ve been worried about exposing Vyner.

BUT he kept going and when he went up top late on he did OK and NEVER stopped unlike some. Love Baker, love Aden.

GrahamC Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Pisano's availability record is starting to worry me. For what seemed a minor training ground slip he has now missed far more games than he has played for us so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again Not really, they played with a lot more energy and desire though. We looked set up wrong as well, the space in front of our back four was repeatedly vacated and allowed them to pick up most of the second balls after we cleared their attacks.

We don't have either. A creator or an enforcer like Vieira for them today. Midfield as always is dross at BS3. We never improve. Sideways players like Pack, LJ, Skuse, Burnell, Clist....the list goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 When people were discussing the playoffs this season, one of the things that I said worried me was that, on our day, our first 11 can no doubt beat most, but take one or two of those key players out, and we look too average. Paterson and Baker being two I mentioned for example. They lift others around them and our lack of "leaders by example" is exposed if they're missing. That was on show today. Exactly what I worried about. I hope they're back as soon as possible and stay fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korey, we can't pass without you. I was thinking exactly the same thing while watching the game. Korey for me is one of the most important cogs in the style we play. A high tempo/energy game while being able to retain the ball when in possession. For me the first choice in the central two. Baker has really impressed me this season, calm on the ball & takes no nonsense. Felt early on we were far too deep leaving to many gaps/spaces between the lines, whether that is related to Baker not playing or not I'm not sure. The sooner those two are back the better!
