With a DM in front of them, Chester-Baker make an excellent pairing. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 really not a coincidence we keep winning with him at centre half. I would say easily our best centre half and I can imagine his win percentage compared to the other 2 is impressive should be our captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TRO Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 Baker is more commanding in the air Chester reads the game better good combination. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he needs a more mature and level-headed centre back playing with him to bring out his best qualities. He has all the physical attributes but has always lacked the brain a bit for me.

Couldn't agree more. He is having a good season this year so I'm loathe to be to critical, but i think championship football is probably about his level. And thats largely due to the bit in bold. In this league, his physicality and his heart on his sleeve, brave attitude means he can dominate less skillful players. Up in the big league thats not enough. To be frank, he was absolutely embarrassing at times in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dappadan Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Saw a stat where it said when Baker, Chester and Jedinak have played together we have won 9 drawn 5 and lost 0 seem this trio is absolutely integral to the way we play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be frank, he was absolutely embarrassing at times in the PL. This has been gone round before, and I doubt I'm going to change any minds, but yes he was poor when he came through - probably largely due to playing in a shit team at a young age, as well as plenty of deficiencies in his game - but he had been improving for quite a while and had a good season in 2014/15 which was his last in the PL. Anyway, it's academic for now - he's good now, which is what matters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massively underrated but incredibly important part of a defence is having too players that complement each other. Baker is the big bastard destroyer, Chester is the technical one who cleans up what's left behind. Baker and Elphick would be much more effective than Elphick and Chester IMO but obviously Baker and Chester is the best option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very promising that in 15 matches together, they only have 1 loss which was a 1-0 loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Have a look at the stats as to our results when we score and concede the first goal. The disparity in it is staggering, I've never know a Villa team that needs the first goal so much to get a result. Was more fighting spirit in the premier league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Bruce took over we have beat Reading, Fulham, Blackburn, Cardiff, QPR, Burton, Derby, Bristol City, Rotherham and tied Blues, Brighton and Leeds when all four have started.
