Shall we wait and see what happens in the very near future before writing them off.
9-games and 1 league goal between them says if all really

Always amazes me how quickly a player is deemed useless - if he hasnt scored a hatful in his first few games, he's "not good enough"....

I'm not sure if this is 'in fairness' or not, but Mr Baldock hasn't actually been in position to strike the aforementioned cows derriere with any gardening implement.
Controversial but maybe because he couldn't hit a cows arse with a shovel.
I know it is early days but appears that Baldock is already suffering from 'CMS syndrome' i.e. the inability of the team to create consistent chances that actually play to the strengths of our speedy but diminutive forwards. There were a few encouraging signs when CMS and Baldock played together at Ipswich but sadly most balls to them were 'hit and hope' lumps forward or high/wild crosses that even Ulloa or Murray would struggle to reach. It is hardly surprising that these passes and crosses are comfortably dealt with by the opposition CBs. It does make you wonder what happens on the training ground that we consistently commit the same basic errors. No wonder it then creates additional pressures on the strikers to snatch at the odd chances they do get.
IMO we desperately need a play maker with the vision and skill to make defence splitting passes for CMS and Baldock to run onto. McCourt could be the man for the job, plus he carries a unique threat of his own - so I hope he now gets to start games.

Saw earlier that he's doubtful for tomorrow.
