Joe Baker

When does Joe's loan spell finish at Aylesbury?

[Guest]

does anybody know when joe is due to return? I estimate that it must be this week. surely we don't want him playing for aylesbury in the fa cup next week and thus cuptieing him

[Guest]

Stop dreaming, Joe will never come back.

[Guest]

Probably won't either, he'll go where he is appretiated (!)meanwhile we'll be stuck with the likes of Jamie Wallace who will miss three open goals in quick succession on the last day of the season to deny us the championship.

Joe's loan started at the end of August (the 29th if memory serves) so 1 month will be up this weekend. However, it is possible that we specified that he can't play in cup games so as not to be cup-tied for us - I don't know whether we did this or not.

 

Looking at the match reports on the Aylesbury website (http://www.uptheducks.com/news.htm) it seems that he's been struggling to last for the whole game - getting substituted in almost all his appearances for the ducks so far - possibly not fully fit?

 

I think he'll be back - if he can rediscover the form he showed the season before last.

if we have any aspirations of winning da league we need joe playing 4 ricay if not fully fit than at least on da bech 2 cum on againanst tired players 2wards da end of da match

[Guest]

You know what it is like with this club, once you are out of favour you are gone. As far as I can see - he has gone to Aylesbury to get fit - to look better to prospective buyers. No one was going to come forward with decent money the way Joe was playing before. This way the management doesn't have to get stick for not playing him and they can reap the reward when someone comes forward with money.

 

Aylesbury have asked for Joe's loan spell to be extended. I would expect this to be accepted.

 

Before someone else starts having a "go" at Jamie Wallace can we remember that Joe has missed quite a number of sitters himself, especially last season.

[c'mon ricay]

yeah but at least at joes showed he is a quality player most of da time wheras jamie wallace plays badly every time he plays

[Guest]

Clearly you were not at Hayes where he played his socks off - or Maidenhead where he was joint Man of the Match (Norweigan site).

 

I'm sorry I don't want to have a go at Joe (just using your example), but I don't remember much to write home about all last season. Most of his goals were from the penalty spot.

[Guest]

Then surely, Cum On Ricay, a quality player missing "sitters" is worse than a player of Jamies lack of talent (your description - not mine)? <img src="/forums/images/icons/crazy.gif" alt="" />

joe just needs a run of games like hs getting on loan 2 Aylesbury then he will back 2 full fitness n back 2 his best

[Simon BTFC]

As opposed to last season where he:

a) had a run of games in the team

was fit for most of the season

c) only sporadically played well, hardly finding any consistant form.

 

He had plenty of opportunity's last season but didn't take them - that is why he is out of the team.

[c'mon ricay]

he just needs 2 get fitness n form at alybesruy n he ll b back 2 his best form of a couple of seasons ago

as ur got 2 agree an on-form joe baker is a must 4 first tam selection

[Simon BTFC]

From the Aylesbury website (http://www.ducksontheweb.com/news.htm):

 

Roni Joe is expected to replace Joe Baker, who has been refused permission to play in this game, as Billericay do not want him cup-tied. His loan spell finishes tomorrow in any case.

[Ryan.c]

I think his loan spell at the 'Ducks' has been extended for another month and that we refused a bid by Aylesbury for him.

[Guest]

Looks a quality player for us. Has played mainly as a left winger, and has suddenly started scoring recently, which is nice. Can be lazy at times though, but then all wingers seem to be. Looks like he'd be happier playing in the 'hole' between two strikers. I can't believe we'd have made a bid of any cash for him, as we don't have any.
