Eddie Notgetinya Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Assuming Webster leaves would we be happy with Kalas and Baker or Kalas and Wright or do we need something more??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globe Trotter Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 We’d need something more, I’d be very worried if not. Both Baker and Wright could do a good job as cover but wouldn’t trust either of them to play week in week out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin_unreliant Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I'd be happy to start with Baker. Trouble is he'd only last about 30 mins then be injured for a month. Wright can't play the left side. So we need a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuber Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If he's fit. Baker. Otherwise get someone in. Tbh I think we have too many players on the books and need to ship a few out, especially if Palmer has agreed personal terms. I reckon we'd need to ship out Watkins, O'Dowda, Adelakun, Maybe Taylor; loan out Moore, maybe Hinds and one or two other fringe players like Janneh, then get in a Striker, and a Left Back, both possibly on loan, and I'd be pretty content.

Sold Flint, we thought at the time it was a mistake. Time to see if the scouting team and Ashton can prove us wrong again.

Wright should be the cover for Kalas on the right side, rather than shoe horning him into left side or right back where he is less comfortable. So Baker would become first choice on left side. Not sure if Moore prefers right or left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 With Wright, Baker, Moore and Vyner, not short of cover. Other priorities, and keep doing what we have been doing. It’s clearly working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think Wright played most of his games for PNE on the left ? I would prefer him to Baker purely because he's reliable, won't go off if he gets a little knock. Doesn't look as if Vyner or Moore are going out on loan so we're a bit top heavy at CB, surely one or two must be on the way out ? Either way, I don't see an urgent need to draft in a CB.

David Brent Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Wright is a solid CB. I could easily accept Kalas and Wright pairing next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 We might even play 3 centre backs with Hunt & DaSilva as wing backs. Who plays in front of them and in what formation depends on who we bring in and who leaves in the next couple of days. If we have to play with what we have, I would play a 5131 formation with Weimann furthest forward, but LJ won't drop Diedhiou even though he doesn't do what he's being paid for.

LocoPal Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Baker's great when he is dominating his opponent in a confident back-two, but can go down cheaply and unconvincingly when he is out-thought, out-manouvered or out-muscled by a better player and then he feigns injury. Just saying what i've seen so far! It's so frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @pnefcok will attest to Wright’s struggle on his left side. I can certainly say that he is a shadow of himself when playing Left CB. Any team worth it’s salt would see Wright lining up there and target him, either by letting him have it on his left foot, or as soon as he shapes back onto his right, press him hard. He is a fine tight marker and decent in the air, but he just isn't anywhere near the player he when given limited chances to play RCB, or central in a 3.

Very capable indeed! Since December 2017 he has been very poor imo. The odd game he is ok, sure. But then Wright is ok nearly every game at centre back, in a basic no nonsense kind of way. Baker being slow and pretty poor on the ball, like Wright, the least we expect from him is to be solid. And he no longer is. He's been at fault too many times for too long.

IIRC much of the criticism of him was that he was a skillful player but far too weak. Now he has seemingly tripled in size it might no longer be an issue.
