Surely nothing too serious? I thought he was subbed in order to bring on Famara. He didn’t look injured to me. LJ probably looked deflated because we didn’t win the game.

just like watching brazil Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Could it be something to do with the artificial grass we now use? I guess we have the same turf in the training pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 In his RB interview LJ said when asked about what Bakers injury was “ I don’t know and I haven’t even asked”.

Struck me as being 50% annoyed at the restructure needed and 50% at the individual... I’m sure he (or someone) has suggested before that Baker is a bit soft in this regard? As in he either has a low pain threshold or tends to come off when others might carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 It’s approx 16 times that Baker has come off in the first half since he signed for City. He’s a good player if he can last 90 minutes but, in reality, he’s a sick note waiting to happen. It’s more just Webster that City failed to replace, it’s a Baker replacement as well.

I’m sure that about a year ago it was stated that he’d gone off 14 times, so I added a couple.

My understanding is it’s a mix of grass n fibre. But that’s been the case since before the Lansdown was built we changed our turf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
