In praise of Mr Baldock

darkwolf666 · Feb 2, 2017

Well I don't start many threads, but can I just say to all the doubters - how much do we miss Sam Baldock?

clippedgull · Feb 2, 2017

Even Baldock wouldn't have prevented that rout tonight.

carteater · Feb 2, 2017

Yeah, him and Stephens can't come back soon enough.

People love to have someone to slate.

It's now Norwood and Murphy.

Need Stephens back and Baldock - back to what we know works. Get that Kayal & Stephens midfield going again.

Baldock presses the opposition all on his own, he's a poxy nuisance. Huddersfield had all the time in the world tonight as Murray and Hemed mooched about. Maybe even with Baldock and Stephens we would have still lost, but there's no way it would have been such a bumming.

There's something about Kayal's body language lately that I'm not happy about. He looks disinterested- first half tonight was a classic example!

Ross McCormack would have done that job perfectly. Him and Murray up front would get us promoted. Shame we never gambled on him and he went to Forest Ffs !

Mellotron · Feb 2, 2017

We've missed him the last few games. Pushes the opposition back.

Stephens if fit and Sidwell would have been best midfield for tonight with Baldock up front
We have still only lost four games, far less than any other team in the division

Hamilton · Feb 2, 2017

When Baldock plays, we win more. His industry is fantastic.

But tonight, we were bereft and Huddersfield were on awesome form.

But he's an a hole who is injury prone, whereas Baldock is a decent trier who is a little injury prone...

This, this and this again.

Ninja Elephant will be here in 5 minutes to tell us that he provides absolutely nothing to the team.

Baldock does press the opposition and is a poxy nuisance, but there seemed to be 11 Hudds players (and we'd better add in the three subs) that were pressing us and being poxy nuisances.

We've missed Baldock terribly since his injury and the stats for him and Stephens speak volumes as to their influence on the team. Need both back quickly to stop the away rut.

At half time, their announcer said it was the best half of football they'd seen all season. A sort of backhanded compliment, I suppose.

I would rather have had Zach Clough. Forest got themselves a good deal getting him for only £2.5 million.

Its quite simple. Because of Baldocks work rate and ability to get back, when he plays we are generally 442 when attacking and 451 when not.

Hemed and Murray are both of a similar mould, they're target men, number 9's and when they play together its generally 442 all evening as they cant get back quick enough the moment we lose the ball.

Both Hemed and Murray offer more of a goal threat, but no doubt the balance of this team needs Baldock (or someone who can play that role).

Talking of which, I thought Akpom looked very promising when he came on. He will play a big part in the rest of the season.
