Think Baker has been one of our most improved players and is a good prospect for the future.  The problem is that Bruce seems to be placing too much on experience over the future.  Its not like Terry will be able to play every game.  Chester and Baker would be my regular centre back pairing. 

I don't see him as a prospect. He's not a kid and his technique, pace and distribution will never improve. He's simply faced poorer strikers at this level and been exposed less.

He's decent at this level, clearly didn't want to be 3rd or 4th choice and has gone for a relegation battle at Bristol.

We got good money for him, have replaced with a significantly better player, so the more I think on it the more it makes sense.

I don't believe any manager in their right mind would pick Baker over Terry.

Agreed. Baker was ok at this level.

Axi, Jersey Royals are small and thin skinned.

Haha  I need to know a variety that has a tendency to favour crap fat shits up front, rubbish tattooed thugs at right back, and grinning bellends over much better options in midfield.

Bruce out! I am on a stag do in Hanoi and am a little worse for wear, but have decided to post. Apologies.

He was probably looking at games as third choice till Samba started looking the part, so good luck to him, he's chosen to go and play, I have respect for that.

Well done to baker last night he scored ! I'll miss the head in at all costs and then ensuring injury delays we had for him and his raking tackling efforts . Won't miss the positional play. Reunion with his play 2 week Friday night 25th against the goal abundant Bristol city

I think he more likely to get injured diving in !
Don't wish either ! Or maybe a consolation in a 1-4 away victory !
