Baxter20 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Baxter should be playing up front. I've been saying this for weeks. The games we've done we'll in this season we had Baxter just off Derbyshire, Lee Barnard can do a similar job. Baxter does ok in midfield but is much more effective in his natural position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics and England Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Baxter wasn't as threatening as usual today but battled for everything. He put in exactly the type of performance that we are going to need in the run in. Dropping anyone ostensibly never unthinkable but to me it would be madness.

Chaddyender2 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 IMO i think baxter plays best when he sits behind one striker like when he was playing behind Derbyshire. As we had Barnard and Iwelumo on the pitch baxter will probably have sat deeper, (as i didn't go today im having to presume). I think baxter would be more effective if barnard was a lone striker up top, maybe Iwelumo on bench as an impact player. Referring to the original post tho i dont think baxter is undroppable, but i think baxter is one of the few players in the squad that is capable of making something out of nothing.

losesome Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You look at the starting eleven and the first 25 mins and you think why are we in trouble. Then the game gets going and the opposition seems to be able to react to us, nullify us and then we not seem to be able t counter. It's happened too often this season. Exactly the problem with most games this season and why we desperately need a new manager. As soon as the opposition manager has summed up our tactics they change theirs and we can't cope. The big problem at the moment is that SC is letting his emotions win the day, he is far too friendly with PD and has too much personal involvement with him. Sacking him will be a huge wrench for him BUT he must do it otherwise we are down. The "Sacked managers" list this season probably hasn't got a manager on it with a worst record than PD yet we still persist. The choice is simple SC - PD = league 2 so make your mind up before it is too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% we need Baxter behind Barnard to get Jose on the ball high up the pitch where he can hurt teams, not picking it up in front of the back four.

4froale Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Baxter looks like a gypsie.....serious note though he should not be dropped, still by far the best player we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
