Jose Baxter

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Yes definitely Reed was dogshit and lightweight, which is a sad state of affairs if we are looking at Baxter to improve us.

Sad thing is that that can be applied to too many positions across the team.

We don't need one we need 2 and that's even if Wallace does miraculously heal. Basham should be centre half and none of the others are good enough ,maybe Scougall with a strong leader beside him. We desperately need to offload and get a strong captain in there.

 

[Large Mendonca]

We have a long line of midfielders and none are good enough for the central midfield roles except Basham at a push.

Baxter - Unreliable, undisciplined, inconsistent, lacks mobility
Coutts- Injured. Slow and lacks goal / assist threat
Wallace - Always injured. Also slow and quite immobile but would be best of bad bunch when fit
Scougall - Always injured and when he plays weak, no goal threat and never in games
Reed - Too lightweight and his passing is poor

We were saying this at the game today - how many of our central midfielders are a goal threat ? if we played with Reed and Basham for the season there, how many goals would they get between them ?

The one's out injured are hardly goal machines either. It's not good enough; it was a problem pre-season and again we fail to address it.

I thought he was just plain awful most of his second touches were tackles if that's what you mean, I like a few others can't see what all the fuss is about with Reed

Don't know Metal, Reed has put in some decent performances in the past, just that he is out of form at present and shouldn't be near the first team. Still think that given time he will come good. Problem is we haven't got a decent midfielder to compensate playing alongside him.

And all of these players were here last season. With the same flaws. And we haven't signed any central midfielder to improve on this.

Very poor management.

Baxter, as he proved last season, can actually score from midfield, most of the other midfield players cannot.

Baxter can score from the penalty spot ...... there ends his influence on League 1 games ....
