In praise of Mr Baldock

[Rugrat]

Any report on when he's back?

 

[Hamilton]

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).

Agree with that.

Although when we are on form it feels like 452 and 443. He's everywhere.

I'm not going to get into some Baldock is god like conversation because he is not, but we need that type of player on the park, be it March or hopefully Akpom (we'll see).

I tend to think that Murray has more industry than Hemed, but you are right, they are too similar.

Ross McCormack would have done that job perfectly.

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!

And yet in the cup match against Burton I thought he looked great and ran the show.

Any report on when he's back?

From Hughton's comments it appeared, if he was to miss Thursday, then he would definitely be back for Sunday.

That's how I read it anyway.
