People still being won over by running into channels and work rate( cms comes to mind)
The difference is that Baldock is effective.
Just watched the highlights. Baldock five half chances, three forcing the keeper to make more than a routine save, once missed the ball by a whisker and another time shot inches wide, all from inside the box.
He seems to be getting better and well acceptable shots ratio. One save resulted in a second chance. He proabbly should not have bene taken off.

We are 2 points clear at THE TOP of the league. Yes, we're being won over by running into channels and work rate. It's tearing teams apart.

Almost agree - I think he was taken off because he was fooked, basically, having run the defence ragged for an hour, chasing everything down too.

Baldock will go on a good scoring run soon. He's getting in good positions and yesterday was a matter of inches away from scoring a number of times. He's contributing a lot to the team and we are top of the league. When he doesn't play we miss him. The time to worry is when he's not getting in good positions and we aren't top of the league.

Baldock I'm afraid I would transfer list in December ready for January transfer window.
No where near the £2million odd we paid for him, doesn't know where the goal is and when he does eventually find it he just taps the ball
like its a bomb that will blow his foot off.
League 1 player at very best, our worst player yesterday by a mile and quite a few other games.
One good season at Brizzle Titty thats all.
and we sign him up for a ridiculous amount the same as CMS.
Not the right player for us at all. Thanks Baldock but no thanks matey.

Which game was this you were watching ? he was dreadful yesterday did absolutely sweet FA and hasn't since he's been here,
I guarantee you he will not score more than 7 /8 goals this season if that.
He had c5 decent chances yesterday so getting in the right position doesn't seem to be a problem......so to say he did sweet FA is bollocks (in my opinion, obviously). He's got to start converting though.....don't know how long CH will persist in the hope he'll start netting regularly. Hemed was much worse than Baldock yesterday, as was BZ.

Silly old bat
I can only assume it was a fishing trip, or the usual suspects who always want something to moan about.
Baldock is slowly drawing them back in.
Moaning that he 'missed' 5 chances takes some doing when 6 months ago it would have taken the team three games to generate 5 chances.
Everybody knows Baldock's position is the only one with NO back up.
Baldock will face stiff competition for his place soon after the window opens, in the meantime I can settle for 5 'missed' chances a game.

So from day one this season, Baldock's input has been poorer than say, let's pick a random name, Zamora for example? Yeah, let's bin Baldock. Righto.
I reckon that Hughton would be generally pleased with Baldocks general contribution but he'll be thinking the same as a lot on here that we as a team will need to score more goals from our front men if we are to stay up there. It's not a scapegoat argument but a look forward to see how as a team we can improve. If Hemed draws a blank for the next 6 games then he'll be under just as much scrutiny. I'm not sure taking both our starting strikers off is a great ploy when you are going for the win. Bolster the attack maybe but not swap it over. The Zamora swap makes more sense when we need to hang on.

In fairness I thought Baldock looked our biggest threat yesterday and was giving their defence nightmares, They couldn't handle his pace or his positional play.
Finally, the goal he has deserved for ages. Let's hope he kicks on from here.

As long as he is contributing to a winning team I see no reason to change him out, his contribution to the team in every game has been excellent.

I think that'll be marked down as an own goal.
