Big fan of the Baldock/Hemed partnership upfront, their workrate opens up so much space for the entire midfield.

Barnes is just a little over 1/3 in all games for BHA - remembering he'd been played out of position for 25%+ of his time here.
Wilson's only made 6 appearances so far.
I DO want Hemed to be the Messiah, but most of his goals have been fortunate fluffs/deflections where he made last contact with the ball.
Baldock has a 1/6+ ratio for Brighton.

Baldock did play a fair portion of his games out wide left last season before his injury, and actually played the position rather well once he got to grips with it,

You sir are clueless....what you are effectively saying is get someone else in, but you won't or can't say who...or change our system, but you won't or can't clarify...

Let's compare apples with apples here: Barnes' record in the Championship for us was 24 in 99. If we're bringing League 1 into it, then it should be noted that Baldock scored 23 in 42, or that CMS got 50 in 91.

As far as skill and pace are concerned, Ashley Barnes is not fit to lace Baldocks' boots. I'm surely Ashley has other attributes?
A few supporters of other teams who have made single visits to the Amex earlier in the season raved about his control and the way he frightened the defence.
Funny enough, I used to hear the same about Glenn Murray and a lot on here used to tell us how bad he was (eh THPP?).
The good thing is that Sam will get the opportunity to up his goal to game stats soon.

You also stated he isn't any kind of worth to us....yes you are clueless

Apologies Sam. Like I say, nothing personal.
Maybe you could consider dropping down two levels. Just like CMS. Then have a pop at your departing manager for not playing to your strengths. just like CMS.
Please never join a debating society...

Yes. Yes I do. You don't watch what you're seeing do you? 26 appearances and 4 goals and a job description of 'Striker'. Sake!
Well said.

He's certainly not as good as Wilson

It pains me to say, Baldock is simply not good enough for the Championship. I admire his work rate but he is out of his depth as a finisher.
Would be a good player to have to come on with fifteen minutes left to run at tired legs but even then I don't know if I can picture him being effective enough to be a real game changer.
I really hope he comes back on fire and makes me eat my words. Please 'god', make him the player we all wish he really was!
If we are to go up this season we need a Rhodes or a McCormack etc, someone proven to deliver goals at this level. A BZ with ten years less on the clock would be a dream but ultimately we are powder-puff up front. With a quality partner I think Hemed will look a far more assured forward and return a greater tally also. Obviously the issue is cost, but the stakes are high, so, Mr Bloom; stick or twist?

Really...look where he was played last season. **** me, Burke went because all he did was look at stats!

CMS had a point about how he was played, especially after Gus said he would build the team around him (CMS).
