Risso Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 He's a great sub to bring on in home matches, and he made an immediate impact today. The challenge is to get him at that level consistently, as he just can't seem to replicate his home form away from Villa Park. Mind you, he's not alone in that.

Delphinho123 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 As always, plays well when coming on at home. It’s bizarre how he can be so effective from the bench and so downright abysmal whenever he starts games. Im fine with it. He offers us something in nearly every game in which he comes on in, I just can’t understand how he can’t do it from the beginning of matches.

rbcuk Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Looks a completely different player when he’s playing at home to away, perfect game to have brought him on to run at the Fulham defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree - I truthfully don’t see him as a regular starter. I guess he is like many wingers before him, he is consistently inconsistent. I don’t think I will ever be one of his staunchest fans, but if he can replicate todays impact on a regular basis - he might just become our very own David Fairclough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be finding less blind alleys to run down and now is an assist king. Another who is responding to Unais coaching.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted November 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted November 12, 2023 He is a super-sub. Not a starter, but to come on and finish the opposition off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I think the thing with Bailey is that he’s most effective in space so it makes sense he’s effective as a sub at home when we’re winning. Then opponent is chasing and on comes Bailey to punish them. Unai’s 60th minute counter punch. The few games we play that will have space, he struggles with the build up play and as a result doesn’t start. Until he can do that, he’s best used as a counter punch when the opponent is pushing forward. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better when he can get one on one and isolate defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Clearly deserves a new contract now. He certainly has a part to play in a 23 man squad. He can play LM/RM or up top which is also good versatility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it’s an odd one for sure - For me Bertie is our most naturally gifted footballer, but for whatever reason Unai does not fancy/trust him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
