REBS14 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Maynard shone in a shitte side, JET shines in this average side. Baldock doesn't. He is physically week, a poor finisher, crap in the air. He was average for MK, anonymous for WH, and to think we effectively payed 1.5 mil for him..... You can't mask the fact he has been a MASSIVE disappointment. To add to this - I to am a bit disappointed with Samuel - i can only describe him with one sentence - here goes " He misses a shed load more than he scores " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corleone Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I suppose that depends on your expectations. I thought he was a pretty average striker even at this level. £1.5M seems an awful lot to pay, if it does work out to that much. I thought 1.5m was a massive risk for someone who had done very little at championship level.....fact is the board saw "Striker" "West Ham" and payed an over inflated price.....at a time when that was common practice. I'm just disappointed because where as Maynard had power, pace, the ability to finish, worked hard and the odd wonder strike in him....Newcastle, QPR etc.....Baldock has pace and a good attitude, but let's be honest he ain't in the same ballpark as Maynard. I guess that's why Maynard is in the prem ad Baldock with us.....but Baldock to me is a 650k-800k player.....not the 1.5 mil we payed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said an ordinary Div 1 player.[/quote Play against a high line and keep everything on the deck he will score goals.....especially on the break. Not many sides in championship football or league 1 play that game.... Seems like a decent bloke though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forza Revolution Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Observation - At the end of the game today flint was absolutely devastated, kicking the floor and putting his shirt over his head. The rest came over to clap. However, I was intrigued to watch baldocks reaction so therefore made a conscious effort to watch him. He wondered over to clap but couldn't bring himself to do it. Instead putting his hands on his head and walked towards the halfway line. Once he clocked flint finally bringing himself to clap the fans he then responded in kind. Not sure he is captain material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Misses far more than he scores, makes some intelligent runs but looks like a £300-400k player at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not the player we thought we signed. The fact is he isn't very good!!! And we're a L1 team. Baldock would still get in many Championship first 11, let alone match day squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Baldock, 6 goals in 10 games.. They say a striker should aim for 1 goal every 2 games, that's acceptable to me What's not acceptable is a player like Ryan Taylor, 1 goal in 100 games (slight exaggeration) but it feels like that, but is never criticised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Not sure he should have been skipper but then who else is there? Talks well and seems like a nice bloke but doesn't really lead by example! He was meant to be quick wasn't he? He will still get 15+ this season but still misses far too many.

RedRock Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Another, like Fontaine, who is not a natural leader and who's performances are nowhere near where they should be for a premiership player on being given the captaincy. Like many others, over several years, I've been asking for a natural leader to be signed. Can remember in a pre-season at Torquay about 4 years ago the team were quiet as mice after a period of sustained pressure at a corner. Only Bradley, who came on as sub, stood up to be counted and tried to rally the troops at that game. When he was sold we became rudderless. Take the captaincy off Baldock quick. Is Shorey an alternative while we try and find a captain elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchay Red Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm sure I read on here that the most Baldock has scored in a season was 15 for MKD. He's ok, and probably the best we have as a pure striker and I hope he does get 15 to 20. But my oh my, how I wish we still had Pitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I recall getting slated for daring to suggest similar things after the Coventry game when he scored 2. The startling reality is that we'd be much further up the table, probably with 3 or 4 wins if Baldock just scored 1 in 3 decent chances. But he hasn't. I really really want him to come good, but the only word I can think of to describe SB at the moment is wasteful. Ryan Taylor has never had the chance to play in a City side that's creating this many chances. Maybe it's nearing his time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's nearing his time... that was my thoughts yesterday too.he was on the bench, why when we were playing out the last 15,wasnt he brought on to have a go, taking jet off was crazy when he had by far out performed baldock and if the sucker punch came would have still been there to pull one out the bag. harewood is ok,pleases the crowd but how many shots has he let fly so far?

tezOfCity Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Jets bound to need subbing from time to time.

Lew-T Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Apart from pace maybe, Brett Pitman is head and shoulders above Baldock and was the best striker we had, we just didn't use him well enough.
