skarroki Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's been said before so I'm just repeating the sentiment but I think Chester has looked assured and calm in defence, and has shown good distribution too, which we have had neither of in years. I prefer him much more to Elphick who's disappointed me and I think Chester plays better with Baker alongside, it gives us much more balance in defence. Hope Bruce sticks with them and Baker avoids a head injury and they can form a solid partnership 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The flaw there is the phrase 'Baker avoids a head injury' ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yes one of his better performances and the partnership with Baker looks much better than the partnership with Elphick. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fought and battled through the whole game. These games are never good. Captained the side well and very little got past him. Reactionist shit again.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Him and Baker are the ticket. Chester was very good today, looks a lot better with Baker next to him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderball Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 All defensive players look improved under Bruce. Has looked accomplished for several outings now, and compliments Baker, good again today. Still need a right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he ever wasn't highly rated? Pulis preferred Evans and McAuley, which is fair enough I guess. Such a smooth defender and seems to know exactly what to do at any given time. I was worried Donaldson might bully him on Sunday, despite his two chances that wasn't really the case. He's leading the line well, long may it continue.

VillaChris Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I honestly think Elphick through his own poor form made him look worse than he was. Looking at his past he needs a no-nonsense dominant CB alongside him. He plays with Williams for Wales and they both look solid and at Hull he had Davies and Dawson as partners. Baker is a better compliment to his game so we should leave it as it is until Baker picks up his inevitable injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely was highly rated when he was in the Championship with Hull. I remember us being heavily linked to him before West Brom signed him.
