Rodders Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 last year was his first spell in the side. I think he's a worthy squad member this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartyn88 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 He looks very good but think he must be played at CB, he wandered infield too much as a LB vs Everton and players like Phil Neville were able to exploit the gap he left... that said he's probably better than Warnock at LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Had a very good game tonight I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think he makes mistakes but he'll get better, at one point he let a cross come in, got absolutely lashed by Paul Lambert for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 He's going to make a very good CB. He may have forced Clark out of that position already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Not getting carried away. Remember last year he did play 6-7 games in a row and struggled in a fair few of those, against Chelsea he tried to head it instead of clearing and against Bolton he struggled when Davies came on and bullied our defence. Of course there were difficult circumstances then as they were now. Baker strikes me as a Collins type defender, someone who's decent in the air and will block shots all day long but a bit of forward movement and he gets found out. s sterpover at Old Trafford was worst part BUT we were in a terrible situation and hope he learns from the experience. would play him ahead of Clark vs newcastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSTERYMAN Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Eealy days but noticed an improvement in him already as he has cut out the more rash challenges he used to make . Think he will end up playing at a decent level if he continues with his development . Far more commanding physically than Clarke for me who is more of a footballer but not aggressive enough as a CB.

Baker is commanding and aggressive as a centre back, two of his best qualities I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 he looked solid vs Fulham until his injury and he looks like he is getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Could quite possibly be another Cahill in the making. Still not quite sure yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 anyone know long he's out for? I know when I rolled my ankle I was out for two months! He tweeted earlier that he was going for a scan and hopefully it was nothing serious so I guess we will hear in the next day or two. He was looking good on saturday before he had to go off.

He was looking good on saturday before he had to go off. The fact he got up was really promising. Nonetheless I was able to get up when I did my ankle. I hobbled away putting little weight on it, so you never really know the extent of the damage until a few days after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Amazed that Clark is first choice ahead of him, he looks very strong and doesnt get bullied as easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David-Copenhagen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 He looked great against Fulham, think he will be a really good CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy_Evergo Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 He does look promising but it is worrying that he seems to pick up a lot of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 He does look promising but it is worrying that he seems to pick up a lot of injuries. Tbf the injurys ive seen him pick up are for throwing his body in the way for the cause, I've seen him get concussion twice for heading away and getting booted in the face. Like this boy, he does look a great prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutherland Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I thiink he will be a first choice CB in another season or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
