Clearly a better player than CMS. Has been played out of position, onto his wrong foot alongside one of the worst link up players in BHA history (CMS). Put him in a system that works better to his strengths and hey presto. Anyone can see his footballing brain is more advanced than Macca's.

This. Absolutely this. Anyone who could not see that his basic footballing ability is better than CMS: I can only assume you don't go to games much. Baldock was excellent tonight, barring one missed chance. He worked his nuts off- which instantly puts him on a par with CMS- and scored a great goal. Which at one elevates him above the Eager One. When Baldock has played with another striker of note- an O'Grady, or even Best when he came on tonight, he's looked decent. It's not rocket science.
Baldock will come good for us, and hopefully tonight is the start of it. I've given up on CMS now. Four seasons is too far. We can't keep hoping forever that the next match is where his season starts.

I thought he was superb tonight, especially 1st half.
Only downside to playing him in that position is when we are under the cosh, as we were on Saturday, he looks out of his depth defensively.

How did you enjoy your trifle tonight? How was the sponge? The fruit? The jelly, sir? Ohh, the custard? And the cream? And, finally, the toppings? Were they disappointing?
Sam Baldock - What exactly does he do?! 
Excellent tonight. His goal was almost a carbon copy of that strike Dobbie put past Kuszczak last season for Blackpool. Although he was played out of position again his hold up and linking with the team was superb. Keep it up Sam.

This thread has Ashley Barnes potential.
Baldock is a good player putting in a professional shift well out of position.
Loved the fainting goal celebration too.

I really hope so. Would be great if he started banging them in on a regular basis now. The goal can only help his confidence and is a step on the road I proving many wrong, me included.

Baldock is quality, I can't understand why some people have been writing him off despite the fact he has been played out of position and has still looked good, he hasn't scored many but he's still impressed me whenever I've seen him. He is miles better than CMS without a doubt.

Which begs the question, why was Burke sacked? Baldock is coming good and look great tonight. Lots of people are clamoring for O'grady to stay now, Holla had a decent - but somewhat quiet - game and Stockdale was solid. All Burke's signings. Plus Hughes who put in a great shift in CB and Teixeira who was the sponsor's MOTM.

If we're really lucky, it might even go Spanish Dave.

I was thinking this on the way home last night. It is only a few games but already we look a totally different proposition to the clueless rubbish served up under Hyypia. I think Bloom takes the most responsibility for the poor first half to the season.

Well two of our strikers now seemingly coming into form ... no way should CMS get anywhere near the 1st 11 now

Tex a sami signing.
Kemi, Lita, Obika, Spanish Rod, Toko, Gary ****ing Gardner
Sacking the scout that found ulloa
Shall I go on? Ok I will
In the summer our recruitment was a shambles. It looked like with about ten days to go Casper would be no1 and our strike force CMS and Fenelon (Ogrady and stockdale hadnt signed at that point.
More? Ok then. The bloke was dour and dull as ditchwater and supposed to sell our club to potential signings, now love or loathe say Gus but at least you couldnt help but love the passion.
Even more? Ok Aspinall said himself after burke got the tin tack that scouts had identified players. Burke essentially ignored them.
Even more than that. Its like what have the romans done for us! Well you asked then. Mate was talking to a man city scout at fulham game. Burke wasnt very well respected there (albeit he IS good at academy building) either regarding players and was v surprised he got the job at the albion.
Those are reasons why he had to go.
Perfectly put. The only thing I would like to see is when COG is challenging, Baldock, comes inside a little quicker so they work as a tandem. Wasted on the wing.

2 assists and a nicely taken goal in the last 2 games.
Nothing to see here.
