Concrete Ron

Baker is just not good enough,neither is Clarke but he's less of a liability.

Correct. My view is that we can't afford to wait to see if Okore is as good as we hoped he was. We didn't see him long enough to know what he was capable of, never mind how he would recover from that injury. Vlaar is not a proven centre half yet so we have to buy at least one good centre half who can boss the back four.

[Matt Collins]

Need a right footed centre back if vlaar is out. Right footed.

[PaulWinch again]

Clark is ok if next to someone good, Baker just isn't very good.

[Damo70]

He has wintertitus.

That can be nasty. I'm not sure Dalian Atkinson ever fully recovered from it.

Ron likely to miss entire Christmas programme. This is very much like last year. Lerner simply has to buy a replacement CB with EXPERIENCE! But I'm not holding my breath. I just don't see what Lerner gets out of his ownership of our great club. Oh for the days of being a shareholder- why doesn't RL sell 49% of his shares back to the fans? This sole ownership sucks.

[PaulWinch again]

If he is out it will be a big blow, I'm really hoping this time next year we don't have Baker in the squad.

There is the  young lad Donacien who is going to be a very good player. May be time for him.

If he is only going to miss the Xmas period how does buying a replacement CB help?

Where did you hear this ? He hasn't yet been totally ruled out of Saturdays game but is very doubtful according to lambert only a couple of hours ago?

[Villafirst]

Dare I say it Radio WM mentioned it! So must be true! We need experienced cover at CB especially with Okore out for most of the season if not all of it; who knows how long Ron will be out? We have no real quality cover at CB - do you want to rely on Clark and Baker for the next few months?

I agree, I'm hopeful that Vlaar may be back sooner rather than later but last year he seemed to be close to return on several occasions without making it - we certainly can't afford to rely on Clark and baker long term - maybe a loan would suffice as when we do get Vlaar and okore back we should be ok next season.

[brian green]

We made a very good centre back out of Allan Evans, perhaps we should try it with Helenius.

Yes, I remember everyone saying so at the time.

Absolutely. Let's go back to the good old days when Doug just had a majority shareholding. The days when we all had a huge say in everything and everybody was happy.
