Patrick Bauer Appreciation Thread

There's a lot of things I can sympathise with Frankie about but leaving Bauer out until now isn't one of them. It's totally within his control yet he's been picking Lindsay instead of him.

He made a big difference today despite Posh still creating a few massive chances.

Bauer has his limitations of course but he's a class above Lindsay and needs to be one of the first names on the teamsheet from this game onwards.

I’m the first to admit I’ve never been a fan of Frankie, but may be a bit harsh there. Perhaps Bauer hasn’t been quite ready yet?

If he's not been ready then he shouldn't have been on the bench for the first 3 games.

This isn't reactionary by the way as I said straight after the Hull debacle that Bauer needed to come straight in.

He isn't the answer to all of our problems defensively but he's a class above all of our other centre halves and he is a leader and communicator.

I commented today how we're a very tall team. Not that long ago we seemed to be a teeny-weeny team.

It started before the game - I didn't recognise Scotty with his new haircut, he's tiny compared to everyone else and for a second I wondered who it was.

But with Bauer, Earl, Storey, Hughes, Sepp, Riis, Potts, that must be our tallest team in years.

Scotty's 5'8" and Seani's 5'9".

Probably wanted to ease him in after such a big injury.

I've known Lindsay was shit for ages but when you see Bauer at the heart of the defence instead, really does remind you how shit Lindsay is.

Still think Lindsay could do something here. Bauer is the player he dreams he could be but think the Lindsay criticism has been really harsh and could have been applied to a lot of the more settled players.

Still waiting for Maguire to have a good game since god knows when.

Oh don’t get me wrong I don’t think Lindsay is the only issue. We’ve got a lot of shit, but Lindsay is up there with the worst of the lot. Just awful.
 
He has never had the credit he deserves from north end fans I think and considering that was his first match back he has done brilliant. If we still had Davies we could potentially have the best two centre back pairing in the league. Let's hope he can carry on from his performance today into other games

Took at a lot of stick aye you're right, usually from the same dipshits who didn't like watching hugill and Robinson.

When he first joined and played alongside BD we did have the best centre back pairing in the league. Even non-North end fans raved about them

It was apparent that the Charlton fans really liked him and that was a good clue.
