Victory Park Reds Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Very frustrating if he’s injured again I sit on dolman/ south stand border and couldn’t see how he got the injury. Ah well we did ok without him but how many more before our form takes a dip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 40 minutes ago, pongo88 said: 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. 34 minutes ago, pongo88 said: I’m sure that about a year ago it was stated that he’d gone off 14 times, so I added a couple. There must be something about this on the forum if anyone wants to find it FAKE NEWS: In 88 appearances for City, he has been subbed during the first half or at half time: Once this season. 3 times last season. 4 the season before, once for Steele after Frankie got sent off, so really 3 times. TOTAL: 7 (8) Yes he's had his fair share of injuries and suspensions, but your stat is plain incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandro Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Injured or not, we looked much better with 4 at the back and Fam up top. For me, the starting line up/formation wasn't working at all, so the sub was the right one IMO either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised. He made a heavy challenge early in the first half and I saw him hobble for a bit. I turned to the guy next to me and said he wouldn't be out for the second half. Sadly he never even made it that far! And I also don't speculate on "wild unsubstantiated rumours" just plucked out of a hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re now down to only two fit central defenders One more than Man City have I think we have enough CB,s in the club Just been unlucky with injuries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Rollason Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 tbh honest i thought Baker ahd been sacrificed because LJ didnt like how the game was shaping upgo four at the back and get Fammy on... we played a bit after that.

bcfc01 Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Baker cannot be trusted. Any player that asks to come off is a liability. Its that simple. For a big bloke he is a pansy. So so predictable that he would do this and so so disappointing. LJ needs to manage him out of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 1 minute ago, JonDolman said: I thought strangely Rowe was so narrow and more alongside Williams and Moore. O'Dowda was quite deep for a winger and more like a wing back. And Hunt seemed more advanced than Rowe the other side. That all changed second half when more subs were made, but it still for a while looked like 352 to me. Yes maybe, not sure, i'd be keen to see the highlights and have a look. I can never tell for sure these days as a) we're quite fluid in and out of position formation wise and b) our wingers, be it out and out or wing backs get back to defend regardless.
