meggoisgod Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I saw an air shot and let the ball roll out under no pressure. I'll give him another go but I wasn't that impressed today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S72 Owl Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thought he was excellent defensively against some tricky wingers. Seems more of a right back than a wing back but could be a good back up to Hunt next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I thought he was outstanding - and he has lovely hair as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now Loovens has gone. We need players in the squad with great hair. It's worth around 10 points a season I would say. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good defending, marshalled their winger well. Got in some good attacking positions but we seemed reluctant to pass to him after the early air kick. Not yet ready for the wing back position, would get him out on loan next season.

Ronnie Starling Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Great performance by Baker. Sound defensively and could have done with some help with an outlet to pass to. He made some great runs and got into good positions but was largely ignored. Great start to his Wednesday career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give him another go but I wasn't that impressed today Did you see the two goal denying blocks/tackles in the first half and the numerous times he blocked the cross from coming in (something that both our left and right side (especially) have been fric kin useless at doing for the last 3 years). Look it was his first game. He may turn into Zico or Roly or he may not. It is way too early to judge. I thought he played very well defensively, less so coming forward (although he didn't hide and continuously made himself available). He has potential and that was in my view a debut he could be proud of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jowl Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I thought He was the stand out player first half. I know it’s only one game but he looks streets ahead of Palmer. Very handy squad player to have. Move Palmer on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quist Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 For a first game he did well. Odd mistake early on but bound to be nervous and that can be excused, certainly something to build on and another young player who has promise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pressy Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 A few nervy moments but did well but i thought Joa could have helped him a bit more especialy in the first half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Also bear in mind both his errors were not made at the back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark77 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 He has been at that standard for the U23 games I have seen him in over the last couple of years. No surprise from me. Penney is even better imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Steve Haslam’s debut in an end of season fixture against Liverpool and everyone thought we had a future England player on our hands. And as for Francesco Sanetti: scored a consolation in final minute of the season and suddenly he is Marco Van Basten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Reminded me of John Hills. Very steady debut. Half the battle with young players is if they actually look the part. This lad did, and he looked like he had played for years. Clever management by Jos as well, as Baker was knackered in the second half, and Murphy was starting to go up a gear.
