Bailey

[Bessie Red]

Owen Bailey is the type of player that all teams at our level & League 1would love to have. He is super consistent without being spectacular and can be seen as the glue in the team that makes a team function well. I believe that he has the ability to play in League 1 but that is probably his limit. He is invaluable for any team at our level wishing to get promotion.

Bailey has been tremendous for us. He plays every week and does exactly what he’s supposed to do very well. For a while he was our best centre back and best right back.

All players lose form occasionally. Maybe the current run is the first instance of that. Also he’s being asked to do more going forward this season as we’ve not found the midfielder to do that job consistently. That’s not his strength. He’s a defensive midfielder or an actual defender. That’ll do for me.

I’ve no idea whether he could sign for a ‘big club’ or not. But I’m sure he can go up one level with us, maybe two.

I agree with both previous 2 posts,Im surprised he has come in for so much critism from some,and don't forget he is also Captain while Wood is out,and I think he does a great job of it,he is always straight to the ref or our players with advice/discussions when needed,look at Molly yesterday when he got the yellow,I thought he is likely to get sent off today,he seemed to have a bee in his bonnet and was losing it,Bailey obviously tried to calm him and thankfully it probably worked.
