Offside Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Assuming he’s fit, Baker. I’d start Moore in the cup game v QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker to start, pick up a serious head injury and a booking, Moore on in his place. Slight head injury, back strain, knee twist, then sending off. .... but I’d still give him a go.

Oops Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 I’d go with Moore if Wright isn’t fully fit. He’s done well pre-season, so I’d give him a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Baker to start, Moore to come on following Baker injury or fear of a red having escaped with a yellow for a late tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people have lost too much faith in him, too many times he’s had to be subbed off early in a match due to injury and then disappears for months. I feel we don’t know him any more so have lost confidence in him maybe. Also losing him in a match forces us to use a sub which later on leaves us with fewer options. He was quality, but compared with the Kalas/Webster partnership we have ( had) I don’t blame people for questioning not only his availability but his ability too.

Baker has to start , he’s left footed, has experience at this level and has Kalas next to him who will make sure he’s doing his bit. Moore and Wright to start against QPR would be sensible as that’s a nothing game and we can really see if they are both up to scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 If fit then Baker is the more senior and more experienced pro. Moore will play his part this season and given Baker's fitness issues he may even get an extended run in the first team. For now I'd go with experience against Leeds, then blood Moore against QPR in the cup. From there you can start to look at them both and also see how the work with Kalas (or Webster's replacement whoever he may be). But on Sunday I'd go Baker.

Red-Robbo Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Moore looked vastly improved when I saw him last Saturday, BUT I am judging only from a cameo in a friendly, so against Leeds I would stick with the experienced CB option, Baker.

He also played as a LB/LCB for a couple of pre-season games. Looked good there. He's actually not a bad ball carrier. Somewhat reminiscent of Magnússon and Kelly when playing in that LB position. I think he can be used this season as cover for Dasilva if we need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was impressed with his ability to find a decent pass upfield. That said, by the time he came on Palace were coasting after our first choice defence had forgotten they were no longer having a beach game on holiday but were being watched by several thousand paying customers!

True, but I saw him do the same in the minutes he got against Derby in Tampa. He's more than just a muscle-bound lump of a CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledRobin Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Is CB the most difficult position for a young inexperienced (at this level) player to get established in? Although Moore's looked good pre season, I would do gently gently with him this season. Start Baker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour...

Davefevs Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Chose Baker purely on his left foot balance. Ignoring injury issues I see Wright and Baker on a par, but BW’s left foot is bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Baker for me is a pretty solid head it and boot it centre-half who is good enough to play week in week out for BCFC That said, he is a bit psycho and never seems to be in any position to play week in week out... injuries, red cards, xmas holidays etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Those saying Taylor it's seems just want to see him out of some kind of curiosity, I assume they just want to figure out for themselves if they think he will ever be good enough, like this is some kind of preseason friendly and it doesn't really matter if we lose. To me that is a poor reason to pick anyone, it cheapens the shirt and shows a lack of trust in LJ judgement. Would anyone be happy to find out against Leeds that he isn't good enough and we find ourselves 3 down after 20 mins and he has to come off because his heads all over the place. This game calls for professional, calm and experienced heads IMO so Wright is the answer for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 2, 2019 Report Share Posted August 2, 2019 Don't know how Baker gets away with numerous mistakes he has made since December 2017. I've watched a lot back over the summer and it's amazing how many basic mistakes he makes. I know I go on, but he doesn't really get criticised much for them. If he didn't make those mistakes and also didn't go off injured in a high percentage of games then I'd be saying play him. Even if he is right footed and not great on the ball, the sensible decision imo would be Bailey Wright. Wright has not made many mistakes at all whilst centre back. Had one dodgy game couple of seasons ago when coming back from injury when fans cheered him off at home. But out of him and Baker who is likely to let us down? Baker. My definition of a solid defender at this level is someone who doesn't make many mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossendale Red Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 It’s not completely out of the question that we start with 3 centre halves with Kalas, Baker and Moore/Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
