Patrick Bauer Appreciation Thread

I think these past 2 games (his performances) might just have saved Earls PNE career.

He has certainly opened up my eyes having previously not rated him due to concerns over his defensive positioning and reading of the game.

Much improved.

He got a bit of stick from Pat at the death but great to hear he’s improving.

Am taking the ferry across this week to see for myself!
 
No idea what went wrong with Pat last season, but by his own admission I’m sure he was a bit of a liability. Yesterday , he was immense. I wonder if the goal gave him his confidence back? Happens quite a lot that a player who scores puts in an overall mom performance.

First choice centre half for us now. I see Lindsay competing with Hughes for the left sided role and Hughes‘s greater agility means he keeps that spot.

Thought Bauer was motm yesterday. Anyone else notice in the last minute when Riise gave away the ball looking for Earl and then Riise processed to jog back to LWB but not cover the man at the back post. Bauer gave him an all mighty bollocking straight away, something I've not seen from Lindsey or Storey, he's so much better at organising and taking control of that back line.

Like a Captain.

Probably yes. Hughes did well closing down the wide men and blocking. However, a back three isn't always an exact science and sometimes they just work. What I am trying to say is, it would be good to see Lindsay have a go at LCB next to Pat.
 
Need to make sure if Bauer is ever injured ‘lacklustre Lindsay’ is never left in charge of the defence again. Need to address this in the transfer window.
 
Just having a pint of the best

He might not have been so adored on here if Clarke-Harris had scored in the very last minute yesterday, as Patrick was playing him onside from the feed-through. There can't be too many PNE players who can speak 3 European languages though! I wonder if he's got UK "settled status"

It's a good job PNE never followed through with any supposed interest in Clarke-Harris, given he's on an FA charge for his previous salacious social media postings.

I didn't know about Clarke Harris, seems a goalscorer though. The tv seemed to show that last minute shot going wide despite Iversen's save.
 
BFG.
The best compliment I can pay him is he is our modern day Lucketti / cumbria canavaro.
Not the quickest but reads the game well. Keeps it simple. But always stands up to be counted.

It was noticeable in the second half that either the manager or the players had realised that Earl was about a foot taller than their right back and that aiming goal kicks there rather than 6 inches above Maguire’s head may be the way to go. Unfortunately Iversen’s radar hasn’t reset this season but it has got to be a better tactic than “hoof up to Seani”.

No coincidence our recent upturn in results is with this guy in the team (he was even brought on in the Morecambe game).

The whole team seems far more assured.

Nothing he could do with the goal today.

Absolutely.

Calm, collected, leads the line and helping the young lads around him.

Also a threat from set peices.

He is the leader at the back we have been missing.
