I look nothing like him!
Unlike some match reporters, you seem to watch the same game as me! Excellent as always.

Like Naylor, your analysis is good; unlike Naylor, you can write.

Good report but is Baldock really our best 2nd tier 2nd striker. Has he more than Poskett for example (17 I think) or even Ward who in two seasons scored 24 (you wouldn't describe him as the centre forward/main striker).

You misunderstand. I perhaps wasn't clear in what I was trying to say.
It means 'of all the clubs in THIS SEASON's Championship, none have a second-highest scoring striker with more goals'. i.e Gayle has 17 but Newcastle have nobody else with many, Brentford have only Hogan, etc.

Silly old bat
Was it only me who thought that Onuoha clipped Baldock's heel? I've seen lots of posts saying they were side by side, or coming together, but Baldock did get slightly ahead, when I thought his heel was clipped. Watch the replay and keep your eye on his feet. Remember that Stroud was directly behind them so had a good view.
I thought Baldock did just about get ahead, but effectively was outmuscled. I would have been gutted if it had been one of ours.
Not sure about heels being clipped, more of a coming together. Will have another look.

Its not 100% clear cut - its a judgement call, which is why someone is always going to end up feeling hard done by. What it absolutely is not though, is a MISTAKE by Keith Stroud. Personally, I think he's got it right - whilst it was a 'coming together' rather than a deliberate trip, Baldock had got goal side, which makes it Onouha's responsibility to avoid contact. He made no attempt to do so.
Interesting view. Arguably, though, by the time he had got in front he was off balance as a result of the shoulder barge, and on that basis for me the decision is incorrect.
Of course, if there is a heel clip then I would agree the decision is right.

I'm with you on this (again). Either it was a foul and, therefore, a red card, or it wasn't. There are arguments for either position, but I do think they veer towards the former.

Excellent report
Someone, somewhere, must have stats on that passing move, I agree it was ridiculously high but would love to know how many.
As for the sending off, although several replays show that there is definitely doubt, and perhaps not even a free kick let alone a sending off, the ref gets one look at it and I think everyone thought Baldock was ahead of Onhoua and fouled, therefore straight red.
