I'm with tom. Thats rubbish. Bloody cheating Aizoon

As it was I misread his post thought is said didn't contain any vowels. I can't believe I got done by a anagram!

Go on. Apart from qpr (not the full name) I can't think of one. Is it non league. Only one team has only letters that are not enclosed like e o g b q etc.

No worries.... that said I am a idiot and I have no plans to change

Not really. I just don't see the point at blaming the bloke for being a crap 1 one on 1 finisher because we bought him for loads from a premiership team. What he earns, where he comes from and how much we bought him for are all completely irrelevant to him missing one on ones. All that is the choice of the people that bought him. He hasn't scored that many or been prolific before we bought him, so for a 22 year old (when we bought him) he was very much a gamble. He is rubbish at one on ones, but he has scored 14. His goal scoring ratio is improving. Undoubtedly his one on one finishing will improve as hr improves his game. He is getting slaughtered by many as the sole reason we are shite. Sorry it is wrong and many of the reasons given (cos he cosy too much) is wrong. Now I have started sounding like Ian Holloway I'll stop

Without doubt. Easy to debate without abuse. But like all debates everyone thinks they are right If Baldock does improve his finishing. I think we can both agree, he won't be here long.

Aye nearly 1 in 2 ratio this season is awful. Lets find the p45. If you expect a striker to be bettering that god help the rooney's van persies of this world. It seems only Ronaldo and Messi are the ones hitting high enough standards to keep their jobs! Results may not be based your successes or failures. If baldock hit 50 but we got relegated, would he get sacked because of the failure of the team? If we somehow got promoted this season, but baldock didn't score again, but help set up many goals for others, would he get sacked for not scoring goals, yet as a team we were successful?

It isn't just him to be fair it gets banded sbout all over the place and it is just bollocks! Lazy journalism. But for me he nmanaged 10 at a higher level in a crap team after banging in 10-14 in previous seasons at l1 that I would say is improvement. He now has 14 before the end of January. If he continues he will smash his previoud best. It all adds to continuous improvement.... which is all you can ask for.

You have no idea what he is on then? Now he has dropped a division and taken a hit on wages that must mean he doesn't have to be as prolific going by that sort of logic, yet he has already scored more goals than last season! Sorry what he earns has no correlation to what he scores. If he were in a team of nickey hunt's and him, how many do you think he would score? If he was prolific before he joined us people may have a point. He wasn't. All you can ever ask for from someone who wants the wages is the commitment and effort. Everything after that is a bonus, due the nature of being in a team you rely on others. No one can call into question Baldocks effort or commitment.

What are his wages? From snippets from managers and board members many took a near on 50% hit after relegation. I have no clue what he is on as I have no access to his payslip, bank account or works accounts.

Ui had a look at his goals. There is only 1 game (Coventry) where his goals haven't got us a point or 3. So we can argue that his misses have cost us pounts. But the goals he has scored have helped keep us in contention for a chance of getting out of relegation. He has set up a fair few as well. I haven't looked at those stats. But goals scored he has got us about 16 points

Maybe. Hardly the players fault though is it?!

So do other teams top marksman. You reckon they get the bile and even booing Baldock has got?

Indeed. He misses chances, so do many others. But only Bristol City would he be moaned at and called shit. I wonder what Peterborough and Bradford fans were saying abouttheirtop goal scorers? Wells shit drop him assongalonga spl shit drop him.

Oh bugger don't go all factual on peoples asses. That will result in name calling. Now this 22 one on ones missed. Still waiting for proof from those saying it is so.

Ah right. Says a lot about someones mentality.

Corleone Straight out of the playground. Bumchum giggle giggle snigger snigger. Lets have a fag around the back of the bike sheds. I do wonder the mentality of some people. Unless of course I am doung him a disservice and he is between 11 and 15 years of age.

:laugh: so very true I keep getting the same at work. Swindon fans saying we are shite, me giving some back. Then the killer. Ever been in the premiership ever won a major domestic cup? And as much as they are scummy pig towners, there is no real getting away from that fact. I just have to be happy knowing I don't have to live in their town!

Righto you can't be bothered. But are willing to let the player take a load of shit for it. To such an extent that people are phoning up radio stations stating it as fact. So maybe you should list them maybe the flack can then be justified?!

No one seems to be backing it up thougj. Yet plenty are referring to it. Even on radio. It seems to have become a truth to hang baldock with.

Dunno that is the question I am asking. People seem to be saying he has missed 22 one on ones. I want to know where they are getting these facts from. 38 shots is completely different to 22 one on ones

That is good to know as so many people are stating as fact Baldock has missed 22 one on ones

That is what I am thinking. But so many seem to take it as fact. I want to see the proof.

Come on list them you are mentioning this 22 one on ones he has missed. You could be right, I'd like to see this fact people keep mentioning.
