wendyredredrobin Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 What's wrong with Bakes? Last I remember is him going off again with what I thought was concussion and expected him back for the next match. He seems to have been out for a while now. Anyone know what the problem is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waconda Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Multiple concussions over the years may have put him at the point where he doesn't return. Don't know but might be a possibility. Towler being recalled is a clue for me. Hopefully though he will be back in the New Year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 It wasn't just a bit of concussion. It was a serious head injury. He's had a number of these and one gets the impression that he may be out for some time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker was knocked out cold & spent the night in hospital, I believe. Prior to that he sustained concussion at West Brom in October as well. I have absolutely no idea how you came to the conclusion he would be back “for the next match” based on that. There is a rumour floating around the medical advice is that this is career ending, but even if not, this post is remarkable in its ignorance. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I had no idea it was that serious, which is why I asked the question. I don't think there was any need to respond in this way which seems far more ignorant in my eyes. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it shows some ignorance I don't think it's remarkable, some people don't read every thread on the forum and some don't understand how serious head injuries can be, after all after most head injuries most players are back after a couple weeks. Seemed like a fair post to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised so many games are getting called off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed like a fair post to me. The problem was a thread posted in the week made some powerful and concerning claims about the injury. Following a few niggling replies the original poster asked for the contents to be removed, I'd suggest until anything factual is announced there's no reason to discuss this anymore before this thread goes back over the previous content 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
