Always play him in midfield then! Problems solved. Next question? I would have thought the sensible things to do is bring Edwards on and move Bauer to the right of the diamond as Clucas was doing nothing but it happened so fast I don’t think Jones had time.... Agree

Yeah let’s ignore his consistently good performances in the premier league and base an opinion on a 3rd round tie against Shrewsbury - his first game for 4 months. Idiotic.
Bauer is a good player who deserves more respect.

Bauer is a good player who deserves more respect. Except they weren't consistently good in all regards. They were consistently bad when he was required to defend, not an altogether irrelevance when you're playing fullback. He did look great coming forward but even then he wasn't able to deliver the balls that made our forwards put games beyond doubt.

I loved the fact we were fielding a full-back with some attacking ability, but he did only last 8 games as right-back last year before being left out, then seeing out the season at right wing, then left wing.

Charlie was the best player by a million miles, I suppose you want him out, He wants out himself. But no takers.

Well at least this one can be put to bed for good. He is complete toss - CONFIRMED Bollocks that is, he was one of the best players on the pitch. For someone who hasn't played a meaningful game in months he showed pace, got forward well, played some really neat and quick passes (to our players to, might I add) and was one of the only ones with the foresight to read where the ball was going to be in three seconds from that point. How anyone can say he was wank is unreal. He looked a different class to pretty much everyone in red and white, bar Campbell and Adam. I also thought he was fucking mega yesterday. Thoughts? Or am I still seeing things that aren't there?

He was excellent, just showed what we've been missing. Says a lot about Rowett's ability to spot a good player too I think.

Much better as a wingback where there are people behind him that can defend.

He was awol from defensive duties quite alot, but his athleticism suited the formation and he hardly had to tackle because of the three centre backs.
I'm keen to see how Jones utilises and develops him moving forward.

Much better as a wingback where there are people behind him that can defend. True but positionally poor yesterday. My worry is if he doesnt improve NJ cannot afford to carry any wing back l8ng term that can't defend and hold position regardless of the athleticism.

He's a very bright bloke and a well respected coach. It's going to be a lot of fun under him.

I must have watched a similar game to the OP on Tuesday as all I watched was him pitifully playing for fouls and being defensively and positionally poor. That said I did accept that it was his first game for an eternity and shouldn't be judged off one game. Much better yesterday. Still far from being great but much better and he does seem tactically the right type of player for NJ's systems so I see him being back for the long term if he can keep improving like yesterday.

He was getting bollocked by Williams a lot 1st half for his positional sense and also Jones has a word with him about it also.He looked nervous to me but he certainly offers us something going forward though.His dive for that free kick though was embarrassing

He was brilliant yesterday, imagine if it was edwards trying put that cross in for the goal? It would have ended up at the back of the boothen. What a difference having a PROPER fullback in the team.

He started the game pressing but after about 20 minutes he was told by Jones via Williams to sit in, presumably because Leeds kept overloading our right side. He then sat in and tucked in consistently which was obviously our tactic - let Leeds cross and deal with them through having a packed defence. He was consistently where he was meant to be in a system that accepted we would concede space wide

He was betwixt and between when defending. In the first half in particular he found himself wandering off into the LEFT back slot! This isn't an anti Bauer observation. He found himself protecting spaces the rest of the team had been clearly advised to allow Leeds into. I'm sure it will be pointed out to him in training this week and hope to see an improvement as I'm sure would NJ. In the opposition half I cut him more slack but 10 yards forward and back if our 18 yard box he was poor positionally yes.

He is just so miles better than Edwards and Martina! How Rowett found out we needed to loan Martina is really baffling when we had Bauer with Edwards as back up.

Yesterday on 5 or 6 occasions that I noticed doubted himself, he went to make a run forward or move to the Leeds FB (which would have ledt loads of space behind him) but you could see him go but then check back and not. Hes definitely thinking more about his defending duties. Which in time I think and hope will improve and he can become a decent wing back

Which in time I think and hope will improve and he can become a decent wing back I think it's pretty obvious NJ cannot coach 29 players between now and the end of the season in to a cohesive unit, 18 at most I'm as relieved as anyone Cuco is not in the 18. The shirt is there for Bauer to keep with Edward's as cover. Yesterday I think the manager had 80% of every starting 11 on the pitch barring injury or transfers. It's a sensible strategy and will allow the coaching staff to concentrate on shape. I fully expect all of them to improve week on week and have faith NJ can do that.

Fully fit he could have gone, left the space, then recovered and got back. Don’t think he’s got the fitness to do the recovery element yet and didn’t want to blow his doughnuts early on.

I have never been one to agree with "hes not match fit" how can a professional not be match fit. But you can definitely see the lack of match tine. Whether its sharpness or confidence. He needs more gane time before we can see his true ability

Well the bottom line is that he's the best right back / wing back at the club so until that's not the case then he plays.

Bauer will only improve as his confidence grows and with work on the training ground with NJ.
Great to have him back after that Martina farce.

Or am I still seeing things that aren't there? Didn't see Tuesday's match so can't comment on his performance against Shrewsbury mate, but personally I wouldn't say he was 'fucking mega' yesterday. There were times he was running like he had lead in his boots, his positioning was a little suspect (especially in the first half), there was that Tom Daley impression by the corner flag, and he wasn't the attacking outlet that he should have been imho. HOWEVER, saying all that, it does feel a bit like nit-picking. For the fact that it it is only his second start for 5 months, he's slotted back into the team really well. He gave it his all - I thought he actually looked stronger as the game wore on - he took his defensive duties seriously, and was one of our few players who had a decent pass success rate. Like all the lads yesterday, he played really well all-in-all, but I'm convinced he can play much better as he regains match fitness. Perhaps I'm judging him against too high a standard though?
