TRL

I keep hearing baldock has missed 22 one on ones. Anyone care to list them. The most I have actually seen listed is 8. I'd hate to think he was getting chastised for a number pulled out of someone's backside.

I've seen some experts mentioning 30 :laugh:

It is just as crap as blaming the striker for missing, by your reckoning Baldock should be scoring a hattrick every game due to defensive frailties not being the problem of thse making mistakes, that i am afraid is utter crap as you so eloquently put it

More accurate, our defending cost us a win, score 2 goals at home you should win.

Indeed. It seems people want to go back to the good old days when our top striker manged 8 goals! Where we need to improve is the team as a fully function unit in defence and attack, we seem to be getting the parts, we just need to fit them together into some sort of consistent cohesive unit

It tells me he gets in the positions to score,something we haven't had for years. You always have a chance then. If w ehad a bloke that was getting 1 chance every game and had a 1 in 2 conversion ratio I would be far more worried. They guy like you says has the ability to get into goal scoring chances, many strikers cannot do that. That in itself put the opposition on the back foot.

Indeed, hey ho, he could end up with 30 and still be shit. Ah well never mind if 15 goals before the end of January is not good enough. I guess the 18 before the end of January for jET is also shit. Should get Taylor back, he scored today!

No he just can't finish, 15 goals this season tells you that

I don't even think of that period, that was just a mess, i look more at Thorpe when he was first choice under Wilson. Thorpe was the forgotten man until the fantastic 3 took charge! Anderson was a cracking finisher, unfortunately for him massively under utilised and pushed out wide,in Benny's early attempts of finding the right formula

Who is to blame for the 2 concede then? if we hadn't we would have won 2-0!!

Calling me an american is about the wort insult I have had on here, and I have had a few

I don't need to be at the game to know the type of finisher Baldock is. he is a scorer of goals, he is not a good finisher. If i am there to witness it or not it matters not. If he hadn't scored 2 we would have lost 2-0, if he had scored the ones he missed we could of won, if MK dons had scored 2 sitters they missed we could have lost, it matters not, he scored 2 goals,if he hadn't we would have lost 2-0. So he may have actually got us a point.

It is funny,lots of people say Thorpe was good,but the bloke never hit 20 league goals in a season for us once, even in what could be deemed as a very good team at the level it was at. Another hugely overrated player by fans imo, Another that you couldn't blame for the price tag, but often looked back at with roe tinted specs.

Well if he finished better than he did, he wouldn't be a league 1 striker would he? He seems to have good effort and approach to the game, if he had the lot he wouldn't be here would he?! Well on course for a 20+ season in a relegation threatened team

i'd imagine 5'11 and bald! I have only heard what others have said, he looked a little shakey, didn't look like he knew what he was doing in a back 3

He was injured against watford. He is on the bench today, could be still suffering. But rested I wouldn't have thought so seeing he missed games through suspension and injury recently

Looks like Williams has be dropped for el abd

You have go to be **** joking. What planet do you **** come from?

Even ****?

Kenneth at his fittest isn't it?

Quite the opposite, surely he would be nailed on to get on the end of one?

Smith was a cracking player, ultra reliable. But as per many players back then, you had one chance before the lancashire surrey and yorkshire failures were put back in the team. Smith should have been picked a good 4 years before he was. Typical England selectors balls up of the past. That said surprised he got picked by Glos considering their piss poor attitude for years with selection. More about who you knew rather than talent... before Bracewell turned up.

Ah yes. Well maybe if they had answered many of the placid letters, maybe just maybe people wouldn't be so angry now. At last we have his attention. Unfortunately for him it needn't have got to this stage.

Never. Sent several. So I wouldn't hold out much hope for those wanting a coffee. That is far more expensive than a stamp.
