I'd have to agree with that been very impressed so far, brilliant distribution, pressing too, still early days but one of our best signings out of all our business
Just watch Notts v Shrewsbury highlights in the cup from last season… these are the errors you’ll see consistently. On the other hand, when in form, easily was our best defender overall in terms of tackling, recovery and blocking. Not bad in the air but not that strong either. Ps Notts fan
I feel exactly like you do Korban mate-I don’t think he can be a starter. If Stubbs goes, we need to bring in a big name like a Luke Offord (though he’ll never join). Great vid anyway mate!
I'd have loved Luke offord he was my ideal must sign but unfortunately hes signed for MK Dons but still many out there that I would preferred to have signed
Not everybody you sign is going to be a starter. If you have a limited budget then you need to sign some cheap backups when they're available, and you sub them on when the team is up three goals or down three goals so you can rest your starters in those situations.
What are you on about. No you don’t. What a silly rationale that is for what is a sub standard signing. You sign players in the same position to provide a healthy competition for places to try raise the standard of each player’s game. If the player behind you is lighting a fire to make you perform your best then guess what happens…
@@TheAdArchive Your way of doing it is what I'd prefer to do, but you usually need a lot more funds for that. If you don't have the budget, or if you're in any kind of salary cap situation, you have to make choices about how to build the squad, and you end up with a few key players who are well paid, and you fill out the squad with journeyman players. But, of course, I'd rather do it your way and have competition for every spot. 🙂
It’s a poor signing. And given how leaky our defence was last season this isn’t the quality investment our back line needs and if you get a national league defence that’s where you’ll end up. We need a league one defence! Also - our recruitment team do understand the philosophy of battling for places... as in two players competing for a starting place... this looks like we'll be picking players on who is the least shiite in each position.
He has the potential to be one of the best centre halves in L2. He'll benefit from playing with an older centre half as there was a lot on his shoulders. It was also his first full season in L2 and will likely improve for it. He does have some mega clangers in him though.
He can be brilliant but he is prone to errors. Perhaps your system will suit him better. It's easy to be critical but in general, he has much to offer.. Had he not scored against Boreham Wood, Notts would be in the National league From a Notts fan:
Everything went through Aden he was the main defender but he had poor players next to him…anyone can slip but he did some great tackles…the system at Notts is no good for a defender
had it not been for baldwin we wouldnt have got to wembley because of him he is good the only critism i have of him sometimes he switches off but i think thats down to he thinking where is his defence helping out but he s ok
Listening to Notts County fans it’s hard not to see this as a downgrade on Platt, and two downgrade cb’s don’t = an up grade because it’s 2 players. What makes me laugh is some of the usual suspects, I won’t name names but one supports Arsenal too are telling us he’s a great signing and Notts county fans don’t know what they’re talking about. Totally fits with the arrogance that they think they know better than fans that have actually seen him play. Hopefully he can iron out his errors otherwise it sounds like we’ve signed Ash Taylor mk2 with pace.
Yep that’s my reading of it too. It’s a poor signing. And given how leaky our defence was last season this isn’t the quality investment our back line needs and if you get a national league defence that’s where you’ll end up. We need a league one defence!
He can be a great player but as you know he does make mistakes. Maybe the system that you employ may suit him but not one that involves passing back near your own goaline. He can be vulnerable in that sort of play.
He had bad defenders next to him and the goalie watching him play at FGR BRISTOL CITY MK DONS NOTTS COUNTY I have no doubt he will be better with better defenders …Great in the ball and I would let him get forward as he has a great shot at Notts they wouldn’t let him go …Can play defensive midfield if needed is cracking in the air and a good tackler …Notts county were all attack that’s why they scored the most but conceded the most that’s no good for a defender as no back up…You got a championship defender in div 2 I’m hoping he will be a success so let’s see
Notts fan here. Baldwin makes far too many mistakes. He does have an occasional good game but i reckon he cost us at least 12 points last season through unforced errors. I wish him well, but I'm very happy that Notts let him go.
Is it just me. Since Luke Williams left Notts County in January, they fell off a cliff (until they played us, of-course). The team that we faced at Meadow Lane, looked far better organised than the team that came to us. I know we got thumped, but, to me it felt like a very different team. Maybe better judging him up until January, rather than the whole season. Because a lot of other NC players underperformed too.
If he hadn't shown up in the play offs we would still be a National league club , he can be brilliant one game but the next game he could look like coco the clown with silly mistakes, was it the way we play that didn't sit right with him? will you be playing more direct? who knows but give him a chance..
