Loderingo Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thought some of the passing and movement in the second half was superb today and played with the most fluency I have seen this season. Bryan in particular was making some good runs and getting crosses in. The problem was we lacked a big man up front to get on the end of those crosses. I know some people would like to play JET and Baldock and Harewood but I think this would leave us too defensively exposed. So my suggestion for Col U would be to start JET and Harewood and bring Baldock on as a sub if Harewood tires. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 We need a mobile target man, in the mould as a nile ranger..I agree Baldock is massively isolated by himself, and to be honest it doesn't fill me with much confidence with a 5 ft 8 striker up front against 6 ft 6 defenders..

Guest Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Oh for the days when; .............................................................................goalkeeper ......................................................right back ....centre half.....left back ...................................................................right mid..........left mid ...................................right wing....inside right..centre forward..inside left............left wing was the norm.....seriously why not play Harewood up top with Baldock who needs support AND JET in behind? Parish needs to start and Carey as well, both will hold our shakey defence together better. Not just for cup games either, try it odreary can it make us worse.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was under the impression it was our defence we had to sort out?! It is. Baldock wasn't great yesterday but going forward we don't need to worry about. He would have scored though if Bryan had given him a half decent pass in front of goal.

I know our attack is the least of our problems but Swindon constantly put us on the back foot with their 3 attacking players causing us havoc, maybe we need more movement up top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Maybe we need a better keeper, an organised defence and more bite in midfield? JET is a great asset, but by vanishing for long periods, also a problem. as for Harewood....... Not the saviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the defense experience is needed. Why give Carey another year and not use him. Being slower so what,. know how yeah. !

exAtyeoMax Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 how about Wes Burns with Baldock? Or is he injured? Bring on Harewood if it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_s Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 We need to loan a striker if possible. I can't see Harewood scoring at all and playing him alongside Baldock if he's never going to score is probably a luxury. Harewood is the only signing S'OD has made that really didn't impress me.

Colc on Sat have drawn 4 out of 8 games and this is likely to be 5 if we do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harewoods a rock and defenders bounce of him unlike Baldock whos talent is in his feet; they could go well together given a decent chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 how about Wes Burns with Baldock? Or is he injured? Bring on Harewood if it doesn't work Burns is fit but again this team needs experience so Harewood to start, then bring on Burns, early stages of the game suits experience, then with the extra pace on tiring defenders, IMO, i am not the manager , thank god!

Corleone Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Baldock is never going to do well here because we don't play passing football. He is so limited, average and over-rated IMO not to mention one dimensional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is so limited, average and over-rated IMO not to mention one dimensional. He only looks average and limited because he plays in a poor team, and of course he looks one dimensional, he's 5 ft 8.. his game is about working the channels and playing on defenders shoulder. Lets not forget he has scored 5 goals in 8 games, with a poor team struggling that's not bad considering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Should play 4-3-1-2 with JET as no.10 and Harewood and Baldock up front, would bang 'em in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i hate rovers Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 time to bring in a new 6ft plus striker,baldock ran his heart out yesterday .he just wasnt tall enough,a bit taller and he could of had a couple,a lot better yesterday BUT STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH !!!....

Lrrr Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Diamond? Do we have another holding midfielder apart from Wynter, well suppose Elliott could do the role. ...............................Parish (deserves a chance) Moloney.........Flint.............Williams........Cunningham/Shorey .........................Wynter/Elliott ...Wagstaff...........................................Bryan ................................JET ...................Baldock......Harewood Play the 2 wide midfielders a little narrower so we're not over run in the centre of the pitch, Cunningham/Shorey and Moloney can cover.

GoingUp Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Short memories some people.3 weeks ago it was panic stations in fear of him being sold on deadline day, now its drop him?

More of a mover than a sitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillybuk Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Baldock did struggle in the game, but didn't get great service either. His decision making was a little questionable as on occasions he should have shot but he passed! Harewood played a quality pass for Moloney in stoppage time who should have scored, all he had to do was keep it down, but at least he was in the right place. Moloney looked alright down the right and was a threat at times in the game. JET was fantastic on the ball, some of his touches were exquisite, but when we aren't on the ball he (JET) looks uninterested - he did do some good defending from corners too.
