BTRFTG Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 37 minutes ago, Port Said Red said: Better than Fams goal line header in the same game? He was having to run at speed directly into the goal and with the cross at pace and slightly in front of him he had the skill and presence to overstep the ball and flick it backwards all without breaking stride. Superb defending as odds on could have been an OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the misfortune to work with a Villa supporter - who said exactly that when they sold him to us. He does get injured more than most but he also seems more than willing to put a shift in, maybe some of it is just in his head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand why you got an Aubergine from a well known poster, spot on he IS a liability as far as reliability goes just can't trust him to finish a game these days.

LondonBristolian Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Is it my perception or is Baker's injury record much better this season than previous seasons? Might be my perception but I don't feel he has been subbed or left out due to injury very often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only instance I saw where it looked likely was sliding in for a 5050, winning it and the Fulham player going over him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Puts himself about and commits to big challenges and 50/50's more than anyone in our squad. Yes he gets injured a lot, but i'm sure many of those are because of him putting his body on the line. I have said though, because of this, I think building a consistent back-line around him is, pretty impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Baker has played very well this season even the stats say we get more points when he plays...However he is prone to being subbed for injury no doubt! Still gave Benko a chance to play and prove that he is at least as good as Taylor Moore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked on the OS and can't see anything about him being made of glass. Sorry. Joking aside I'd agree with you. I think he's a bit of a hypochondriac.

He got absolutely clattered by Kamara a few minutes earlier in a challenge that most our players would’ve shirked. He put his body on the line, and when he went down I said to the guy next to me he looked groggy. He’d just missed a header (air shot), and perhaps he was suffering with his vision. Yep, he’s come off too many times in the past, but today you could see why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
