The difference between this season and last is ulloa was our focal point ,this year it's our fullbacks(wing backs) defenders. And some of you wonder why we can't score
Arrrgghhh completely NOT this.
No striker would have scored fro Brighton today, from open play.
All the time T'Shearer won't pass, McCourt won't play, Bennett & Bruno won't cross accurately, KLL & Gardener will only shoot from pointless distances.
NO STRIKER WILL SCORE.
We're so bloody close to near perfection, but at no point do we look like making that final step.

What has he done to suggest he isn't? You can't write off Baldock yet, he's not had half as many games as CMS has. Even you're not that shortsighted to do that...are you?

No, you're not wrong - apologies from me - I misread that chart.

Two valuable away points at the top two sides, we are a goalscorer away from being a very decent side.

Well, this is unlike you to see things differently from everyone else. We created chances today, just like we did against Cardiff, but without an intelligent striker making the correct runs we'll continue to be blunt as an attacking force.

After his first few performances, I couldn't imagine myself saying that Tex should be dropped to the bench, but he should. His skill is fantastic, but it'd be nice if he played the simple ball 90% of the time.
COG, on the other hand, is showing a lot more value to the team than he did in the first couple of game. He and one of Baldock or CMS could be an interesting partnership.

I doubt Burnley would loan him out as he is currently setting the premier league alight. Another amazing performance today no doubt to go along with the hammering he gave Sheffield Wednesday in the league cup.
The only box he ticks is the perfect striker for relegation.
We will start to score soon, lots of goals.
The squad is huge, its all new and we are also playing a new system.
In a few weeks time we will be tearing teams apart in this division.
Have some bloody patience eh.
Anybody remember playing at Gillingham, or the Shitdean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

spot on. TB and PB went for using the Ulloa money to reduce the losses rather than spending it on a proven goalscorer at this level (not Baldock i am afraid) to replace the one we lost. Not looking like a great gamble at the moment.

Again, what have you seen in Baldock to suggest he is any better than CMS? CMS and a decent big striker is what we've been waiting for, for 2 or 3 seasons. I ask again, why is competent striker/Baldock any better than competent striker/CMS?
Funnily enough, CMS and Baldock BOTH have records that suggest they are exceptionally good L1 strikers, but average Championship strikers.

Look at his previous record in the Championship, then consider his start with us. Then consider why we didn't spend the money we needed to spend on Ulloa's replacement. Surely even you can't be so shortsighted that you can't spot our striker failings, and that includes Baldock (unfortunately not limited to him). Our beloved strikers have 1, count them 1, goal between them in 11 (eleven) Championship games. Think before you post for a change.

Baldock is not the 1 goal every 2 game striker we need to properly replace Leo.

Well reading your post, it clearly has. Fortunately that's for you to deal with. Not only am I not panicking I still feel we will get into the play-offs. We had much of the same rhetoric last season, but it does grind on when we are only a fifth into the season. Last week we drew AWAY to the League leaders, this week the same to 2nd placed Watford.
If we are in the bottom half in the New Year I might possibly share your concern.
