Baldock. What exactly does he do?

I counted two touches, but I think there may have been three. Did no-one give him the ball or was he rubbish?

I think he received the ball to his feet on 1 occasion, predictably he shanked it. If the poor bloke never sees the ball he's unlikely to be prolific for us.

After about 20 minutes he touched the ball. I said I would buy my mate if he scored with header, and I would buy him a pint if he crawled through the defender's legs.

He did not fall over like CMS.

His entire afternoon was spent chasing dinked balls over the top, which their CB's gobbled up effortlessly.

We really are an absolute piece of PISS to defend against.

NSC match report. If you're a big fan of Baldock, I'd recommend you don't read it.

When finally the Albion fashioned a genuinely good opening, Baldock wasted it. Bennett drove into the box, much as Reach had done for Boro, and pulled it back - on a plate for the ex-Bristol striker to open his Albion account. His weak, misdirected side-foot effort never looked like taking the chance. Truly woeful.

The only other chance he had, when Calderon squared to him from the opposite side, he inexplicably ducked the responsibility - leaving the ball to a team-mate who it was never going to reach. Strikers thrive on confidence. Baldock looks bereft of it, and he's certainly not thriving. He scored for fun last season so there's clearly ability there. Fingers crossed we get to see it soon.

He's got no confidence, and he's getting no service. He's probably thinking "this was not in the brochure", so take your pick.

CMS will be saying "welcome to the club mate".

Rot.

He missed the sitter, not the scouts, nor Hyypia. That's his job.

Can't blame the service, when he ****s up when they put it on a plate.

I can't believe we paid money for him and I can't believe it was Sami's fervent wish to sign a League 1 player either

His one chance today was put so horribly wide that he almost got away with it being a layoff to COG on the right edge of the 6 yard box. May be hard for him to be sharp after a 4 week lay off and not seeing the ball all game, but that should've been buried.

When the "service" provides him with one chance in 90 minutes, he's probably entitled to think "I thought I might get a few more chances here".

I'm not saying he's blameless, but our buildup play is so frigging ponderous that most teams could build the best part of a new housing estate (plus plumbing) in front of us before we even think of getting the ball in their box.
