Dropping daniels would be very harsh his mistake that red card he needs to wait till he gets his chance again

I suspect that Daniels will soon burn himself out if he keeps playing as he has been. With so many kids in the team rotation is going to be key.

I think he needs to go on the bench. Why make changes to a winning team? Of course when guys start losing fitness then rotation will be key. I would love to see Fleck, Baker, Barton and Moussa all on the field together. That reads as a championship midfield to me, not League 1. Having said that I would say Baker is the weakest link there.

Captain Fantastic will start on Sunday, need an experienced head against Preston.

Think they're both different kinds of players and SP will play whichever best suits the game plan. Nice to have the options though! Think The Beast is another one who will cause a headache in the future.

Personally I would drop Connor Thomas and put daniels in centre mid with flecky and put baker on the right as then how cant we be a better team. connor has no goals and for me just clearly not the grade though I appreciate he try's and he is young but then so is Daniel and scored 3 goals and great performances. Thomas cost us 2 out of 3 goals against crawley imo from being at the game and just looks out of his depth. so to confirm fleck and daniels centre mid, baker right and moussa left with Wilson and Clarke up front. Sounds good to me.

The last time Baker was suspended was last season for 5 yellow cards and he didn't walk straight back in, he was made to wait on the bench for 65 minutes before coming on as a sub when we played Preston (H).

Carl Baker is in the top 3 players at the club I think we can all say and in some cases the best for some. Now Lionel Messi gets suspended for 3 games does he get straight back in? I wont answer that because its obvious. Why? because he is the best player there. Different leagues but same principals and Baker will be picked once available I assure you.

I love the way one person states and actual fact and then the rest bang on as if it never existed.
Baker is suspended for three matches so is not elligible for this weeks game anyhow!!!:facepalm:
Lets see how we go against Preston who I suspect will be certainly a tougher challenge than Carlisle and will be I dare say more physical than either Bristol City and Carlisle.
If we get another victory than injuries permitting I see no reason why Baker should not start on bench - why change a winning formula, would give wrong message if he came straight back in!

I think if you substitute Daniels on say 60 minutes he will be more down than if he did not play. baker is one of the best players at the club and captain. An arm around Daniels shoulder to say he did magnificent and go prepare for the next chance to prove it again will work much better. Conversely if you deny baker as captain and one of the best players in the squad then that suggest you don't respect and rate him as highly as you do. baker must be given his head and be straight back in and not put Daniels on with the lad knowing baker is on the bench waiting for you to have a poor game under added pressure and therefore not help the team. Well in my opinion any way.

Did you really just mention Messi and Baker in the same post?
I know you weren't comparing them, but I think you may be bigging up Baker a bit too much! Before the season, I'd have probably agreed that he is one of the better players in our squad, but from what I've seen pre season and 2 games this season, there are others who are equally as good, if not more important to how the team is performing right now
Moussa to name one.

I think Baker is a very level-headed person/player and will not expect to drop straight back into the first team but be on the bench and then have to fight his way back or come on and make a difference to a team that may(hopefully not) be losing at the time.
He doesn't strike me as a primadonna just a really good pro that will do his best for this team...
SP should do whatever he thinks is best as he's got the lads playin how he wants and it seems pretty dam good to me.....
