Hemed & Murray clearly can't play together.
They have tackled each other more times than they've passed to each other.
I don't think CH had a choice in starting Baldock.
If we were one of 'those' clubs I'd say it was a power move, like not picking a full bench, saying 'this is all I have to...
The ref blew the whistle at everything.
He'd booked at least 3 Newcastle players for standing close to the Albion.
There wasn't a bad tackle all game, and yet 7 cards were waved.

Baldock didn't play consistently enough to prove his worth.
Baldock this season has created, at least, 2 goals from open play, one each for Hemed and Murray.

Hemed and Murray + Baldock and X, ticks every box required.
Has the AMEX Albion ever had 4 strikers and played whichever combination of 2 at a time?
No point having a 'runner' without a 'holder' and visa versa.
Equally, as...
