You Do The Dziekanowski Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Baldock has a good return it's more worrying that we need to score 3 to win a game Today we could've been 3 up and shut up shop inside 20 mins! These missed chances cost us massively and everyone knew what was going to happen especially after the header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 No, my logic is that Baldock scores just under half of our goals. That is my logic. That's not what you said, you said we lose 50% of our goals. Only if you're planning on playing with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These missed chances cost us massively and everyone knew what was going to happen especially after the header So it wasn't the non existent defending for the two goals that cost us today? We shouldn't have to rely on scoring three to win, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 What is wrong with some of you. Blaming Baldock and JET. These two have given us half a chance of staying up this season. Sure Baldock should be better at 1 on 1's but he will get 20 goals this season. And JET is a bit lazy and has the odd off game. But put even a reasonable midfield and defence together behind them and we would be in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor10 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Be careful not to questions Baldock's finishing....if you do you might be considered not fit to support the club! His lack of composure is what worries me. Rabbit it in the headlights. However what equally worries me is that we are still conceding too many goals. Poor goals at that as well. We shouldn't be so reliant on scoring 3 goals every game to win. I've been critical of Baldock but for as poor as his finishing has been I feel he is under even more pressure due to us not keeping them out at the other end!!

collier Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 Why would you measure a striker on assists you clown? I measure a striker at the end of a season on goals. SB is on course for 20+ which would be a phenomenal return given that we are looking at the real possibility of a relegation battle. What would you measure someone who plays off of the striker ie jet, as a phenomenal return in terms of goals and chances created/assists given that we are looking at the real possibility of a relegation battle??

We shouldn't have to rely on scoring three to win, especially at home. We could've been 3 up inside 20 with the chances we had, If we scored 2 or 3 the game would've been out of sight and the defence wouldn't of been under as much pressure Take the chances when you have them as more times than not it'll bite you on your arse as witnessed today So today yes I feel JET and Baldock have lost us two valuable points for missing at crucial times of the game, Which has been a story of our season so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBrizzleRobin Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ok, so yes, Baldocks scored 15 this season which is very good BUT he could have had so many more. I think why alot of people are miffed at he is because he misses decent chances at important points in games ie when were on top or misses 1 or 2 good chances then we go 1 - 0. Thing is baldock, could with a little training sort out his problem with one on ones. Problem is when he's through on goal he makes a bee-line STRAIGHT at the keeper, so all the keeper needs to do is run staright at him and spread himself. He doesn't shift the ball to change his angle on goal so the keeper can't run straight at him so easily or open up more area of the goal to shoot at. Hell he doesn't even try and round the keeper! THAT is his problem, he's not doing anywhere near enough to give him a good chance of converting them. Thing is this is basic stuff! Even strikers from league 2 and some even lower do this. If baldock wants to be playing at a higher level he needs to sort this out for himself not just bristol city. Lucky for him, if he puts his mind to it he can change this part of his game, he's already got the talent. Its not something that can't be fixed with some coaching.

Rob k Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 No. Does it make what I said any less true though? If Baldock takes his chances today it's a different game altogether - as it could have been on Wednesday v Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence is an issue but for a completely different thread, just because they have been awful it should not excuse the chances SB has missed and I'm unsure why you would try and use the defence as a justification for this? Let me be clear here, I like SB, he's hard working and seems a decent level headed bloke, I just think he should be putting away more of the chances he's had.

MarcusX Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's the same argument as "Well at least he's trying", it doesn't stick at all, 22 1 on 1s and to score 0 any player in any division at any level is shocking I haven't read the rest yet, but are you just plucking numbers out your back side? Where do you get 22 missed one on ones? Have you kept count? How can you say he's scored 0? There's some absolute garbage being spouted in this thread!

That's the figure going round, I've seen most games and it certainly feels like he's missed 22, even more. He's certainly missed more than he's scored, that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltfordRed Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Baldock frustrates the **** out of me. Looks like he's got the ability to do it, but consistently misses guilt edged chances. First half MK played with a ridiculously high line, leading us to get Baldock in behind on numerous occasions- he should of had us 3-0 up in the first 10 minutes, which would have killed the game. Second half MK didn't play so high, therefore we couldn't get Sam in behind as often. The chances that Baldock's had this season, he could've scored 30 already, and if he had done we'd be sat in a much better position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with 1 on 1 with Baldock is that he always does the same thing - belt it low and hard and that's why he's missed so many. He never tries to dink the keeper or go around him. Too predictable. As for his close range heading......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep seems like a plan, hound another good player out of the club, and then we can reflect at leisure how much better we would if he was still here. manMaynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
