Port Said Red Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Can't see Bailey Wright being dropped, I would imagine it will be Baker away from home and against Clayton Donaldson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hegler won't have the legs for a third game in a week in my opinion. Would go for Baker and Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wright is the certainty, our captain and given a well needed rest midweek. I'd pick Baker myself but won't be shocked if it is Hegeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider Queen Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Depends if Baker is fit.. Hobbled off on Tuesday. Wright and Baker/Hegeler for me.. Although I would say Hegeler would be unlucky to be dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hegeler is not really what you could call a natural centre back. Useful to have there for his obvious attributes but I wouldn't expect any Wright, Flint or Baker like performances from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Baker and Wright. Hegeler on the bench. He's a good player but his positioning as a defender isn't great, that will be more important than bringing the ball out with class away from home against a side that will be better than Barnsley and Plymouth.

Ha! Like last time 'Bakes' went there to mark ol' Clayton. Sept the something, Clayton hadn't hit a barn door by that point. Come 4.45 and he'd bagged a hat-trick. People will tell me 'Bakes' has learnt since then, didn't get carded under Johnson, played 35 times last season to gain Champ experience, grown an ever more impressive beard since he was last with us etc etc. Well, let's see (apart from the last point - that's undeniable). I agree that he's a better bet than 'Hegs' for 'tough' away games, but I'm just not sure he's good enough full stop. I'm happy to be proved wrong (over the remaining 45 games, please - no snidey posts tomorrow at 5pm when we've kept a clean sheet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_eastender Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 How about Wright and Flint? Ha, that would be a story... guess LJ will go with Wright & Baker. Hegler, for me, would be better suited playing in a back 3... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglandsNo2 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Pisano wright baker mags the back 4 for me 2 Moro unless Bryan 100% fit then him for mags , Bham not that great on paper but old plastic bag face arry will have them up for this , he don't like lee or Gary for whatever reason , would love to carry on our early 1st half form and b 4 up at half time to shut up them whining brummie bar stewards COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas last October he marked him out of the game (and Donaldson didn't score) in a Brum Derby... Baker played in the home game in April, too (a 1-0 win) but Donaldson was injured then though..

Padlad Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wright and Baker purely because Hegeler was interviewed about how much he was enjoying playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wright will start, he's captain....and rested in midweek. Baker - pros: the more dominant centre back to Jens. Cons: only had 80 minutes and cramped up, would he last 90. Hegeler - pros: building a nice partnership with Wright. Can bring the ball out. Cons: less likely to dominate Donaldson. I think we have a bit of a dilemma against a Donaldson / Adams partnership. Both are awkward customers in their own way, and the way to stop them is to stop the supply. Their midfield (r to l) might be Davis, NDoye, Gardner and Mghoma is decent enough without being anything to be fearful of. All about more than half of our players coming out on top of their opponents. We will learn a lot from this type of game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samo II Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Same starting eleven as Barnsley, I hope. Difference will be a much stronger bench this weekeed (as long as Eliasson gets his clearance), helped by some decent performance midweek from those who'll be on it. Who to put at the back will certainly give LJ some headaches moving forward, but the good kind, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Very obvious IMO that Hegeler is a stop gap for Baker to come in. Feel the same about Reid too although his long-term replacement spot is still up for grabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wright isn't going to be dropped anytime soon. You don't make someone captain then rotate him in & out the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Wright and Hegeler. Would be tough on Hegeler if he was dropped, plus I'm not convinced that Baker is fully match fit yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distortia Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 If Hegeler hasn't played midweek, I would've said him. But as he did I'd start Baker and Wright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too much of a risk. Perhaps Flint will play.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
