Meh Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think this is an astute signing. If one if the current back 3 gets injured everybody on here will be moaning about lack of cover with Wright injury continuing its lengthy saga. Moore is in his first season at this level and Baker always hurts himself eventually- nature of the nutter !! We needed cover and an experienced pro desperate to play for his country again would seem perfect and beyond our reach 2 years ago. I would actually like to see the current 3 plus Williams in a regular rotation when he is match fit to help all their bodies through a long hard season. In my simple maths and presuming we stick with a back 3 all season (certainly seems likely until JD is back and if working well why change when he is back?) and presuming a rest on the bench now and again helps then be available for most games they would all play circa 32 league games each until the end of the season; ample and better return than we would ever hope and expect from Baker and Moore in his first season at this level. Anybody who now says “no chance Baker and Moore are available every game” is only strengthening the argument for this signing surely !?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Interesting that the CB so many wanted....Matt Clarke....has felt the axe (along with Malone) following their performance v City on Tuesday. I thought Afobe and Weimann dragged him around all over the place, and that was my concern Re trying to replace Webster with him, having only really played Lg1/2 previously. Of course it’s early days, but Cocu finding out about his players quickly. Tough one v West Brom today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latcher Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I've followed Ashley Williams' career as a Wales fan, often watching him playing live. First thing I'd say about him is, he's imposing, no one is going to out-muscle or intimidate him. Secondly, he has really good distribution, he likes to play it along the deck and seldom seems panicked into hoofing it anywhere. He's never had really great pace, but he does read the game well and that makes up for any shortcomings he might have regarding lack of pace. I think, as cover for this season, he represents a good signing for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will have to go 4 at the back next week with AW prob on bench for an emergency LJ talked about him , as you say playing 45 on Tuesday and then another U23 game the following week We only have next week then an Int break isn’t it so , AW will have time to build his match readiness and should be available post break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be back before too long I'm sure. Appydaze at BCFC other than this injury curse crap. It seems someone misses out and another steps up. And that's exactly how it should be in football.

Quite right As one door closes n all that TM busting a gut , Baker with the opportunity to nail down a place and Williams when match fit with an International Career to save None of them atm are perfect IMHO but we could be a whole lot worse off Cant afford another one though and LJ may need to wrap them in cotton wool for a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can use his experience to “organise”. Interesting comment is his signing interview, that although the hadn’t had a pre-season, he had played for Wales in June (11th June to be exact), so it wasn’t like he’d been on the beach from early May, plus he’d been working on his own too. I’m not saying he’s 100%, but he might not be as far away as a player who’d done nothing all summer. He’s had a week here too. 12 minutes ago, BobBobSuperBob said: He’s an interesting one - clearly capable but we knew that Ive always had a concern that he wasn’t desperate for a starting place , hope I’m wrong or he has become reinvigorated by playing and the general vibe going on Got engaged in the summer....she might’ve put her foot down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hopefully signed till Jan where we’ll sign someone like McKenna. A rotational back 3 consisting of 3 between Moore, Kalas, Baker and him would push us to that next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
