The City boss was full of praise for Baker who had an excellent game in City's 2-1 win against Scunthorpe this afternoon and told the club website: "There is no reason why we cannot only concentrate on looking upwards now.
"We are no longer in that battle at the bottom end of the table, we are fighting a different one in the top half and we must continue to challenge the teams that are above us.
"The first 20 minutes I thought we were a bit shaky but after that we dug ourselves in a produced some very good football and we deserved our goals and the points.
"There's a saying in sport that the harder you work the luckier you get and our boys have deserved every bit of luck and good fortune that has come their way because they have worked very hard for it.
"I thought Clinton Morrison and Jonathan Stead were excellent upfront and ran their socks off and Carl Baker has been a revelation since he arrived.
"He very much reminds me of Coventry legend Tommy Hutchison in the way he can just drift past players. He's very exciting to watch and he has been an excellent signing for us.
"I thought the whole team put in a magnificent collective effort though and they deserve the success they have been getting.
"The fans were also superb and they backed us to the hilt all afternoon so all I can say to them is to enjoy what is happening at the moment and continue to give us the kind of support they have been giving us."
