Did he get injured in his return to the bench last Saturday? Not in the squad last night.

correct

Splinter in the arse.

Hughton says he's close so reading between the lines should be back for pre season.

Agree that Sam is different but he's not the whole answer. We'll still need to sharpen our blunt attack in the Transfer Window.

I'd love to see Sam given a go. Our results with him in the side were outstanding over the last couple of seasons.
Obviously the Prem is a different ball game altogether, but none-the less he would make a difference to the way we play.

The big problem is who to leave out.
The obvious choice is Gross, I suppose. Which is becoming an easier choice to make as he hasn't been so effective of late.

Possibly Sam for home games Gross away?

The elephant in the room is of course what exactly is wrong with Super Sam?

I heard rumours that the delay was relating to mental problems, which does not augur well.
Does anyone know if there was any substance to the rumours or was it just good old fashioned poppycock?

Last night would have been the perfect opportunity to get him some game time.

Agree. He surely couldn't have been worse than some of his team mates?

I thought he would be involved last night maybe even start. Very surprised to see him absent from the bench, hopefully not injured again.

AK wasn’t on the bench Saturday...and came into the side last night ..one forward drops out which happens to be SB so not sure i’d read too much into it
Whether SB will cut it who knows ..one things for certain is he forged good partnerships when playing with Murray and perhaps less so Hemed

If you click through the years, sadly there's an awful lot of pink.

Sam scores goals instead of defend so he won’t start

I think that his plus is that he is able to stretch defences across their 18 yd line with his runs.

Baldock alone up front in the premier would be shocking.

On for the last 15 mins if chasing a game? Workable.

That’s quite simply not true. He doesn’t score truck loads of goals but he creates space and he presses the opposition relentlessly. Quite frankly, we were crap without him last season.

Now, I'm not having a go at Baldock here, to keep things fresh. Any player like him would struggle in our team right now because we are not getting enough people forward often enough to be able to impact the game. Having one man all on his own is not going to be able to make the sort of difference we need. We need the wingers and Propper to get up and support our striker and number 10. If we're not going to send more people forward, anyone up top is going to struggle.

I think Ulloa showed us in the Championship that he was capable of playing the front on his own, would he be able to do it now in the Premier League for the second half of the season? He is the sort we need if we're going to keep playing this deep and defensive way.
