Are We Now LUMBERED With Hemed And Baldock Up Front Next Season?

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Can't see any UK club south of the border cherry-picking either of them. One's not very mobile, one's not very brave. Both are so-so.

How do we now progress to The Promised Land with those two still on the books as the partnership of choice up front?

I'd sadly suggest we can't.

Thats out of order to say lumbered with them. Keeping them I would say yes I would think we are but definitely not lumbered.

Very harsh, with a couple of quality additions they are both more than good enough for the squad and both bring different options. Have we not been amazingly successful when both played together?

They've had excellent service this season. As others have said, they're going to leave us light on goals.

Getting a bit fed up with people knocking Hemed

Hemed scored 17 this season... For £1.5m what a bargain.

Baldock... Couldn't agree more

Never REALLY looked like a convincing partnership up front tho eh?

This is the same team who scored more goals than Boro, and ended on 89 points? As I said on another thread, some Brighton fans really do like whinging.

Top scorers in the division yet light on goals !!!

Interesting

We lost only one game when they started up front together though.

 

[BensGrandad]

We are lumbered with COG not those two. During our bad period Dec to early Jan they received very little service but when that improved so did they hence we finished up top goalscorers in the division

Oh hang on, I get it. This thread is to deter any people from other clubs lurking around here to see who we think are worth snaffling away, so we try to make out we don't like these two. Well played THPP.

Even if that's fishing, it's not a great comment, I suggest

Hemed and Baldock are perfectly good enough as 2 of our 4 strikers.

It's the 2 recruits we sign up which we need to be more interested in.

Same as you, I just want us to be the best that we can be. And that goal tally had very little to do with the Hemed Baldock partnership. It's a partnership that won't do us any favours at all next season IMHO.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Lumbered with Hemed? Lumbered? The man who scored 16 goals this season (more than Ulloa ever did)? What a load of nonsense.

I'll agree to disagree. We do need two more strikers as Blue Valkyrie has said to replace Bobster and Wilson.

Interesting one. I cannot knock Hemed he has scored 17 goals. Baldock has great movement. I would not personally ship either on. Just add 2 more good strikers who will add genuine competition all season long.
Hemed was joint top scorer over the 2nd half of the season when you add in Knockaert and Jiri delivering service to him. i believe he scored 12. Personally i think he would score 20 plus with them both playing week in week out.

Has he ever looked HALF the part that Ulloa did? Will there be a single club at this level or above clamouring for his services close season? I think not.

You don't have to look the part if you can score 16 goals.

I thought Ernest had started this thread

Agree with OP despite Hemeds goals the team need to improve to go again next season
