Albion comparisons?

[AmexRuislip]

The Argus report that Murray & Baldock is a throw back of the partnership of Wardy & Mellor.
Is it a bit soon for comparisons at this stage, as GM & SB have not been in a partnership as long as the legendary duo of PW & IM.
It's looking good at this stage, providing we get promoted and GM can stay permanently.
Onwards & upwards

In the 1970's, darling of the fans Peter Ward struck up a little and large rapport with Ian Mellor which played a pivotal role in the most successful era in Albion's history.

Big man, little man and 4-4-2 is back in fashion. It is early days for Glenn Murray and Sam Baldock but more of this and they will carve their own niche as the combination which fired Albion to the Premier League.

Although the goalscoring in this partnership is reversed with the taller player scoring more. Also we are not getting the same number of penalties that we were given under the Ward/Mellor years.

Different era, different times. I am just content to enjoy the current partnership rather than comparing to others.

Bang on.

Wardy and Mellor just cannot be compared. Sorry.

we would walk the league if we had Ward playing of Murrey or Hemed

Wardy completely different player to Baldock , used to go past defenders in the box , get a lot of penalties , but scored loads of goals as well . He was also quicker and more skillful than Baldock.
But let's hope the partnership becomes as successful as Ward And Mellor was

16 league goals between them already with more than half the season to go. Seems to be working out nicely imho.
Just hope they both don't get injured or Murray is recalled. Get a striker to fit into the Wilson role and we've got a complete squad.
