Title: Owen Bailey

Said it a few times and I'm sticking to my guns now. Owen Bailey is a centre half, and a bloody fantastic one at that.

He was huge today. That headed clearance in our box near the end was brilliant.

Looked the part at centre half. Got more than a wiff of Andy Butler about him.

Man of match was Broadbent for me though. Think he’s helped by Crew playing with him as he actually stays in the centre. Bailey often ends up wife right.

He's our Fabio Cannavaro.  Not the biggest, but positionally excellent, great in the air, and enough pace to cover everyone else.

Yes a great clearance, bet the kit man appreciated it!
He’s had a couple of poor games, but overall he’s been a great signing us.
He gives everything for the cause, I still can’t believe how many headers he wins against guys who are much bigger than him.

He’s been fantastic player, a great guy, and I look forward to how he develops in a higher league, his skills may suit L1.

We should be converting him to a ball playing CB like demetraeu.

As much as I love him I think we play better with him in CB freeing up a berth in midfield.

He will walking into L1 and not even flinch. Real assett for us for a long time.

Yeah, he looked like he'd just done a Tough Mudder.
