Red Army 75 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 IMO. Baker has been our best Centre back this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanker Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Always rated Baker, a decent centre half. Listen to some of the experts on here and you’d think he wasn’t any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thought he had a good game, but his "tackle" near the end was a worrying reminder of his reckless streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted January 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 I did have a dodgy VPN today, and from what it seems most of you thought Fam was good today, so happy to bow to the vast majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcofisher Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Pato MOTM goal and a beautifully chipped assist, changed the game. Last 6 months given him a kick up the arse maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Were the City defence under much pressure for a CB to really shine? Hardly heard Baker's name mentioned on RB except for a typically wild challenge after the game was won. Fammy was outstanding from what I heard ( and have now seen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hmmm...didn't impress me today. Poor distribution as usual and a couple of defensive lapses. Not awful, just average Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcolebristol Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 .My football knowledge doesn’t go far enough to understand this but I often wondered why some defenders like flint and kalas can be ace one week and then the wheels come off the moment you change the other CB. Baker seems to be one of those that brings the best out of the other, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one played exceptionally well except Paterson when he came on. It was a poor showing. Fan's disallowed goal was a stunning strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Baker is one of the best defenders we have, he's just injury prone. He doesn't look like a walking red card anymore when he was on loan and when he first arrived permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Im very interested to see what happens with Baker. It seems very likely Wright will be gone. A solid at this level defender who generally has done very well for us. But right for him to be let go. Baker frustrates me that he has spells of playing nowhere near his ability. Xmas 17/18 to May he was so off form. Last season in fact that mainly carried on. This season has been much more like first half of 17/18 season. Not sure why. I'm sure LJ will look at everything when deciding what to do with him this summer. His age, how he has done for us, whether he's the right type of defender we need and the wage he is earning. He will have a year left on his contract. It might well be that we do with him what we might do with Wright. Keep him here till end of his contract then release. Depends if we get any offers. And it also depends on what we can bring in at centre back. I see there potentially being a few changes at the back in the summer. I expect one in now with Wright likely being loaned out. Not many talking about that, but a loan out surely means one coming in. We wouldn't want to leave ourselves short. If that one is a permanent and a quality centre back then that puts Baker down one more place in the pecking order. So really this season is a big season for him to earn himself a new deal in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 The only reason Kalas would get picked before NB on this season's showing is because we forked out 8 million or something for Kalas. Not knocking Kalas, as i like the guy... I'm only going by what i am seeing on the pitch this season. Well played, Nathan. Clean sheet today, still waiting for someone to point out these mistakes that he so obviously makes time after time.. ??? Let's have some examples, cos i've not seen them. Oh, and LJ has asked to be "aggressive in our simplicity"... LJ, i think we have found our man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud55 Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 For me Baker is our best centre back, he's the only one that can deal with the physical forwards and is good enough in the air to dominate most forwards and the ones he can't he is good enough to make it very difficult for them, for example cardiff, he could not dominate their forwards in the air, but he made it so they rarely won anything cleanly and meant that they were largely in effective. For me Baker and Kalas should be our first choice pair with Moore as first reserve. That's nothing against Ashley Williams mind, who has done fine but we need to start building partnerships on the pitch and Williams isn't going to be around all that long.
