Desso Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 One of our under 23 defenders. Any one seen him play? Could he step up if required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWred Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Feels like he's been around forever! Cannot help but feel if he was ever going to get a serious look in he would have had some impact on the first team as well. On top of that, no real loan moves of note would highlight a real lack of experience particularly at this level... But still, can't say I've seen to much of him to make such assumptions! If Johnson thinks he's ready then I'll back him all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Have I seen him play? Yes maybe four or five times. Is he ready for Championship football? Maybe not but he might get an opportunity soon if we lose any more central defenders. Would he make mistakes if drafted in? Yes but from what I've seen of him, he would give everything while on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Steve Bruce seems to be the best at the question/answer thing. Do I have a big fat head? Yes, I do Is that my fault? In some ways, possibly it is... etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesM Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I’ve seen him play a few times. He’s not ready yet, nowhere near imo. However, he is a fantastic player and a real talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Baldwin, real chance he’ll be on the bench Saturday. Can see Ashley Williams starting with Baker and Moore. Can it get any more Bristol City than 4 of your back 5 getting injured at the same time? 5 out of 6 if you include Maenpaa as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Baldwin could definitely get in the matchday squad if that doesn't work or if Williams gets up to speed and onto the pitch ahead of Kalas returning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 We won’t see baldwin this season, I think he’ll go on a couple more loans before he gets to the first team, next player to come through will be morell imo (after the strikers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play a 5 with Williams and one of the CBs gets injured we go to a 4. Hunt or Pereira on bench. If we play a 4 we have Williams on the bench with whoever out of Hunt or Pereira. At this juncture Baldwin doesn’t get into the 18. It might be worth him being more involved with the travelling squad for away games though in case of emergency.

The trick is to say that all our young players are good. Nobody remembers how much I rated Jordan Wynter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have to have two more centre backs get injured before he becomes involved, those moaning about squad size pre-season up until the transfer window, this is the very reason you have strength and depth in a squad, last season if we’d had this injury list we’d be in trouble this season we have strength and depth, granted another couple it becomes a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a balancing act. I accept it isn’t easy to move players on either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
