He was a breath of fresh air on his debut, in a sea of stinking cack He was the only player fit when he signed, that’s why he stood out. |

He certainly got more pace than Edwards, but his crosses aren't close to the quality Edwards possesses. Early in the season I was banging on about playing him and I really think it was a mistake to play Martina instead of him. I must say though that Edwards has really progressed this season, but he still struggles quite a bit when playing against opposition with extreme pace. He has improved in handling this as well, but the Swansea game showed he still has a way to go. Must be said though that the Swansea winger is one of a kind and a player you hopefully only meet twice in a season.  |

It was actually one of those signings that Cartwright was keen to “hang his hat on” It was, which is weird because it was initially claimed that Bowen had found him. That was the line the Sentinel took and was backed up by Eddie N post Man-Utd game. |

Is he any worse than our 10 million marquee signing? Is he any worse than McClean who was Rowetts number 1 target?

Some of this is a bit harsh on him. He’s tried. It’s not really his fault all this. Whoever gave him the new contract is responsible. He’s more likeable than some others - at least he tries when he has played. I don’t personally think he’s that bad although Edwards should of course be first pick. Would have liked to have seen him given a go on the wing but it’s just another fuck up by the club both for him given he’s missed a season effectively and financially for us. I wouldn’t mind being paid 20-30k a week as part of a fuck up for 4-5 years. And ruining your career in the process? In any event that has nothing to with what I’ve said. He’s taking a bashing on this board when none of this is his fault. |

Think Bauer works better as a wing back and Edwards works better a a proper full back
Worth keeping IMO as we want good competition for places

Have to agree with most . Not a right back because he switches off or too busy looking forward . Not a right winger because his ability to dribble past a player , cross a ball , are both average for his age and experience Sounds just like James Mcclean who appears to be one of the manager's favourites and bizarrely one of the first name on the team sheet. Surely if Jones is such an incredible manager and coach he could improve Bauer...isn't improving players part of the job. If he goes we have to bring in another back up to Edwards which is likely to be a hopeful div 1 or 2 chancer and no better than Bauer. As for contract negotiations. Are people still believing its the manager who does this, it's not it's down to the Pizza boys brandishing their amazing negotiating skills with the players agent. The process works and its a quick one: Scholes...'We can offer a 3 year contract'. Agent...'no the player wants 5 years or he is not signing' Scholes.. 'Aah please 3 years' Agent... 'No' gets up to leave Scholes.. 'Ok 5 years...have some Pizza' Takes less than 2 minutes, great process. |

True Bauer is more of a liability defensively He's better at going past players because of his pace Neither are good at crossing Don't mind if either player leaves or if either stay as squad players |

The general consensus is he’s a shit defender. So considering he was bought as a right back then surely the exit door beckons.
Seems an amicable character, which is good, but primarily we need him to be a good defender. Personally, not sure what he is, that tells me he surplus to requirements.

Not sure many will outrun that Swansea player in any league. I saw him play against Walker in the cup and even he looked slow compared to this kid. Walker is known for being one of the fastest fullbacks in the PL I think.  |

Given his wages for the amount of starts he's made, surely it's best to find better use of what has to be dwindling operating funds. I personally think he was included in the team late in the season to put him in the shop window.
