Guest Jonoridge Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Hey guys, a Villa fan here. Just wanted to drop in with my thoughts on Baker as naturally I've seen a lot of him. He's an all or nothing defender, loves a tackle and getting stuck in. Lacks that bit of pace but I feel he makes up for it in his power, tackling and height. He really does put his body on the line, which is why his injury record isn't the best. The weakest part of his game is probably his distribution, in the Premier League you have to be a bit better on the ball even as a CB and I think that is where he is lacking. Sherwood sees him as a late bloomer hence why he has been sent out on loan. He does have nearly 100 Premier League games under his belt though and will do a great job for you goes I have no doubt. You're getting a top young-ish defender with loads of experience for his age and wishing him and you guys all the best for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jono.we seem to have been beaten in the air in our own box this season which simply didn't happen much last.Liam Moore is going to help solidify that too....Got any strikers we can borrow when the window for loans opens?

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Apologies if this has been mentioned elsewhere (system too slow for me to search through) but does anyone think that the signing of two defenders suggest Cotterill is planning to go four at the back?

Possibly 4-5-1?Personally, I don't - think they are just required competition for the three in the shirts, and possibly Little out at right wing back too (thinking of Moore's having played there before).Outside of Ayling, Flint and Williams we've lacked any real cover at centre back, so this places a bit of pressure on the guys in the shirts, which is something we certainly needed.

Possibly 4-5-1?Baker has already talked about how he's comfortable in a back 3, and given that Moore is right footed and Baker left footed, I imagine they'll slot in either side of Flint. Ayling will move to RWB or into midfield and Williams to the bench. To be fair, both Moore and Baker are good in the air and if you look back at a number of the goals conceded so far, Ayling or Williams getting beaten in the air or by movement at a set piece is a fairly regular occurrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a Villa fan at work that said the same about him. We could use pace but sounds like a good signing for us. As most likely the left sided of a back 3, he will see the ball at his feet quite a bit so his distribution will get some work and hopefully benefit us this season and you in the future. Also to the guy that asked if they had a striker, we are already borrowing him with Robinson!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an Upper Cam lad born & bred, but live in North Worcs & work in the big smoke (B'ham) so I know a fair old few. Try not to take too much notice of them.

BITW Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Will certainly be interesting to see if we re shuffle the back line. You would imagine Baker would come in for DW but not sure Flint or Ayling would be dropped altogether. Wouldn't be shocked to see Ayling out at RWB with Moore in RCB.

A very good defender who will always put his body on the line. Therefore he picks up injuries. Thet hadn't assessed him as far as I can tell. Just a hamstring problem.

Davefevs Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I think Baker has had a real influence on the increasing improvement in our defence as we adapt to The Championship.Was really worried when he went off last night, but William's confidence from a couple of good games alongside him, meant he settled back into the LCB position....and Bryan back in as LWB. Admittedly he took a while to settle, but in the last 20-25, the two of them started to link like last season.Hope Baker going down and coming off saved more serious damage. Fingers crossed for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
