Lrrr Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Signing Baldock on loan in Jan would be ideal for us tbh, knows the club, we know he can score at this level and if he can propel us to the championship all the better, may be better for Brighton if Baldock returned to them in the summer after (would be hopefully) scoring a decent number of goals in the second half of the season with us.

Anglia Red Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Would look elsewhere personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Love the way people are writing Baldock off after 11 or so games ,new club,surroundings ,struggling team,rookie manager... all contribute to a less than productive START to his Brighton career. The lad is class and i'm sure he will come good and that in the near future there will be threads lamenting the fact that he was sold ; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina's Rolls Royce Posted December 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Whilst I'll agree he's had a terrible time at Brighton- he is far from a terrible Championship player. He's made 11 starts, been sub 2 and injured 4 scoring 1 goal. I don't think his work rate has changed though. I still think he's a great fit for City, left our club with dignity( unlike Mickey) and would be likely to be back playing Championship football next season at a club he clearly enjoyed and we are on the up. But there's no doubt if he does go on loan- MK Dons will move heaven and earth to get get him and I really don't think MK with Baldock would be good for our own title hopes. We all know that strange things happen in football so we'll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile we need to dispose of Crawley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Pity we are having a go at a player who was respected during his time here. Brighton are rank poor at the moment, and I see no reason why he cannot be a mid rank Championship stricker. Personally, wish him well, but equally we have moved on.

That is what I am judging him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 According to a couple of Brighton fans I know Baldocks spent most of his time there out wide and not being played centrally, they were very frustrated with Hyppia for not playing him where they thought he should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redtucks Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Why not swap Baldock for El Abd!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithywoodRed Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sooner see Doyle here than Baldock. Not that he would come anyway imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 He has scored 11 goals in 44 Championship games. That is what I am judging him on. don't you know 95% of statistics are incorrect ? If Prozone was the be all and end all ,every club that used it would be challenging for the Premiership title with nothing between them. A ratio of 1 in 4 ,whilst not Messi style ,is not a bad return when you consider the greater picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know that strange things happen in football so we'll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile we need to dispose of Crawley. Have you heard a whisper from somewhere to suggest a loan move to City is actually a possibility? Do we know that either SC or SL would actually want him back? SB left City because he wanted to, and his early season performances for us before his departure were lacking both tenacity and finesse. As well as goals.... If Baldock has anything about him he will be determined to justify his high wages and Championship platform by becoming a regular scorer at Brighton to repay the faith his new manager put in him, not skedaddle off to a L1 club on loan at the first opportunity. Whether City/MKDons or any other lower division club offers him a loan move in January, Baldock's professional pride should ensure he rejects it out of hand. SB evidently thought he was above BCFC and L1, and he's now got the stage to prove it. If, indeed, he can. Meanwhile Bristol City, and the fans, are quite satisfied with his replacement.

BCFC Jordan Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Sooner see Doyle here than Baldock. Not that he would come anyway imo. Why? I know little about Doyle apart from the fact that he had a purple patch at the start of the season. Sam was proven at this level for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
