Numero Uno Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 If he can stay fit, stay on the pitch when he is fit and get a run of games behind him...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Played well. I particularly enjoyed his crunching tackle in front of the South Stand. Please stay fit Nathan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore on the other hand was robbed of possession. Palmer was calling for the ball unaware of the QPR player behind him whom Baker could clearly see. I thought Baker generally had a good game but so did Moore. Let's not pretend one makes mistakes and the other doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Defended well, however the distribution along with the rest of the back three was poor. Didn't think we could miss a defender as much as we are going to miss AW when it comes to being in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He demands the ball in those situations, backing his own ability, which I like to see. I would also be very surprised if he wasn’t aware of the oppositions presence.

Simon79 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Glad he has his own topic. Big fan of his & was starting to think he was undervalued by most on here. Cannot argue against his injury record, but when fit he is a top 6 centre half without a doubt. He was immense today, as was Kalas. A proper centre half parings performance.

Guest Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Without doubt his best performance since first half of 2017/18 season. And I don't think left of a 3 is his best position either. What was the major difference? Desire. He looked more up for it than he did last season imo. Also he had a hard job when we had Rowe next to him. No easy out ball like Dasilva who can take it and travel effortlessly up the pitch with the ball. And Rowe was really struggling on that side, especially second half. Did not make Baker's job any easier, but he did a very good job today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Baker also gave a “helping hand” when there were handbags between their goalkeeper and Weimann and then a QPR player came charging in, who Baker moved on - Top Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 That tackle in the first half in front of the SS was superb. Timed to perfection. I was fully expecting him to clean out the QPR player completely and them to get a pen but well done Nathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Baker had a cracking 90 minutes. Moore played very well as did Kalas Palmer unlocks things Nagy and the boy wonder are utter class and Afobe scored. Yet some like to pick on isolated incidents as they support an existing view. No wonder we have problems attracting players. We did well and we have a win. We also have five minimum class players who could easily play in the premier with a good season under their belts now.

Magicdaps Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Big fan when fit...not a patch on Webby from a distribution and ball carrying perspective but not many better old fashioned centre halves in the league when he keeps it simple and wins his battles as he did today. Him and Kalas could form a very reliable partnership if he gets a run, stays injury free, and we eventually revert back to a back four. TM is also in good hands from an onfield education perspective with TK & NB around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No messing, he shoved the bloke back 5 yards I too appreciated that moment, he was our cavalry. In like a flash (no one else seemed nearby) and the qpr fella decided against retaliation. He had a look and hid around the other side of team mates. As someone else said on here earlier, it seems to be about desire with Baker. When he wants it, he is a beast. Long may it continue.

OldlandReddies Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 A fit Baker equals one of the best CH's outside the Prem. The more 90 minute games he has, the less likely he will get injured. Class player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Every time I think Baker isn't going to make it here he seems to do something like yesterday and puts me in my place. My only concern is that the game may have moved on quickly to ball playing centre half's and he hasn't and he is a bit out dated, I think there's an opportunity for both types in this league but I don't know how long for.

189thoughts Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Love Baker, glad to see he is putting together a run of games. Does have a red card in him though, would worry who would cover should he get suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
