Or maybe second place Luton.I’m more interested in MRs team formation with Baker available, not noted for being too positive and I assume JCH and McNulty will start as I expect Doyle and Bayliss to do so too, which leaves Kelly, Shipley and Baker nice problem to have but will Robins start cautiously with Kelly and Doyle central or the more positive choice of Bayliss and Doyle in the middle. Interesting as we start with very contrasting home games v bottom of the league Barnet and then up against leaders Luton.
I don’t see a downside to this at all.
As has been said, worst case he doesn’t play/isn’t fit, but I doubt he’s costing us much and MR has had weeks to judge his fitness.
He’s not proven at this level, he adds much needed creativity and experience, plus he has a real affinity for the club so he’ll absolutely give 100% - how are any of those bad things?
I’m not suggesting he’s a saviour or a world beater, but he’ll add more than he’ll detract in my view.
Exbloodyxactly.Perfect analysis.
I'm not expecting him to set the world alight but will he give us a greater chance of getting promotion? I would think so.
Can't see anything wrong with this, if it doesn't work out we have nothing to lose.
#CarlBakerDay?I think he can do a job depending on fitness. Just the sort of player we need, likes and knows the club and got promoted out of this league last year.
Doubt he’s on billions for wages.
What’s not to like?
It's a paper trail over in India rather than electronic most places.Why is the international clearance taking so long?

Nope, it's being delivered by Marcel Marceau, so it's a mute point.It's a moooot point
more likely the the lassiIf he doesn't get clearance before Saturday, then it has to be the Indian team taking the piss, surely?
Hardly.Nope, it's being delivered by Marcel Marceau, so it's a mute point.
Shame he could never tell anyone.Hardly.
He spoke three languages ,probably four if you include Yiddish.
What an interesting fella and life led .
Quite a hero in fact .
I think it's being delivered by cow.
That’s udderly ridiculous
Bench. Be madness to start him.Got clearance to play now ! Bench or Starter
He isn't even fit enough to play for the U23 due to an injury is he? That would have been the place to get some minutes.
That's fine if it's 6 15 minute cameos where he bags the winner every time.Anyone else get the feeling that Baker won't play many minutes in these last few games. He's clearly still struggling with his injuries, having wierd & wonderful treatments etc. Hasn't yet played any minutes for the U23s.
Even if he does play, I get the feeling he could breakdown at any moment. I reckon if we see him for a total of 90 mins before the end of the season we'll have done well.

Double delight-Biamou could push him!We could always stick him in a wheelchair and wheel him round the touchline to the delight of the adoring fans at half time.
