Nathan Baker - Sold

[LeeB]

For as big and brave as he is it always surprises me that he almost no threat whatsoever in the opposing box from set pieces. I'm not expecting the magnificence of Laursen but he should be good for a few every season or if nothing else just causing enough of a problem for someone else to score.

He's got a head like Kryton from Red Dwarf when stacking no corners, it's an absolute lottery as to which way the ball will head.

I like him though, I said in the summer he'd be more use to us than Clark.

[Matt Collins]

I agree, it's ridiculous. 50p head doesn't do it justice

A head more like the old threepenny bit I think.  Good to see him improving though.

[Risso]

At least he hasn't got a foot like a sheriff's badge like Elphick.

yeah, but his passing has always been shite.

Sums up the lack of control in general in Bakers play, very much blood and thunder and throws himself at set pieces and in to tackles.

Having said that, he looks better than Elphick and is doing himself alright the appearances he's made. Can't hack it at premier level but at this one he is competent.

[Toronto Villa]

I think Elphick will look a lot better when he and the rest of the defence isn't exposed by a non existent midfield. Playing 3 and having hard working two way forwards will make us much better as a unit and give Gollini a lot more confidence.

Clutching at straws but baker may become more of a threat once he's established in the team.  i'd imagine that he has had little influence in the corner "moves" to date, as he's not been secure in his place in the team.

[Ian.]

I don't think any of our players have had much influence on corner tactics for many a year. In fact I often wonder if anything has been coached and drilled in a very long time.

Very solid on Saturday - hoping Bruce can get the best out of him!

He needs to get the sharp corners on his head sanded down first.

[Hookeysmith]

The block at the end was superb and a game saver

Well if he can`t no-one will, no mean defender himself in his day.

Even with a head like a potato!

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

As we know all too well Potato Head also had the knack of nodding the odd goal or two, namely in the 27th minute of Fergie time.
