Jon Newsome Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Never one to single out players and slag them off, but my god how bad is Baker? All this he's a youngster b0llox doesn't wash because he's 22 years old, if you aren't good enough at that age you aren't likely to ever be, and with how far off the pace he is he wont. Palmer is a very average full back at this level and I'm crying out for him to start every week it's getting that bad. In January we seriously need to beg someone to loan us two competent full backs until May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SettleForADraw Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Been glaringly obvious for three years now. Only we've gone backwards and decided to not sign anyone at all in those positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Dropped in to the team way too early without any experience at this level so it's harsh to judge him, It looks like he isn't good enough for the Championship at the minute that is clear. No point bringing anyone in on loan with this clown in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgybysea Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Ah well,I think that's a full house of players being slagged off on the site ,nice to see folks getting behind our club and players whilst things aren't going well.Many can't have been around for long,this is nothing to where we've been in the past. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjack27 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) He’s very poor not near the level required, seems scared to death every time ball comes near or a winger has a run at him. Can’t beat a man going forward either. Needs a loan spell league 1/2. Edited December 9, 2018 by swfcjack27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 In my opinion Baker and Palmer are the worst 2 right backs in the league. Both are absolutely crap. I do prefer Palmer which says a lot to where Baker is as I don’t rate Palmer at all. Some of the posters on here slagging Jack Hunt off. He’s absolutely streets ahead of those 2. He was a very good footballer and was also a good outlet. These 2 struggle with the basics of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You taking the p!ss? I support the players at the game as I will be down at Swansea next week, this is the place to discuss things like this.

HarryPlopper Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 What is quite laughable is that he is in truth a centre back, pushed to right back at two points in time in his time with us. Both those points in time have been when Wednesday have needed a right back at u23 level and first team level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Jos has a strange idea on players. He seems to favour low quality. No wonder we are dropping towards oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's "quite laughable" is that he's 5'10''... fair enough he can't help he hasn't got another 6 inches to play with but it must have been pretty clear for the last 2/3 years that he's not going to have the physicality to make it as a CB high up in the footballing pyramid. If he wants to make it, he's got to adapt to a different position other than CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His age is not an issue if he is being asked to do something he was not asked to do in his previous 8 years or so. In reality, I refuse to Judge Baker this season - why should I? He is coming into a poor side low on confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 baker is the worst of a shocking bunch of full backs ,the lad is the worst player to ever wear the swfc shirt and yes we have had some shockers over the years .its mind blowing that he gets picked. only an opposing manager would pick him to play for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can't but help ask myself how things might have looked right now if we had addressed the issue of our defence a couple of years ago when we had a decent budget. By all means criticise Jos Luhaky, but he can only work with what he's been given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
