I don't understand why there's all this talk of his attitude. The fact that he scored 3 goals in 36 games for Hull last season is surely all you need. I am a big fan of Baldock but the one thing you hear people moan about most is his goalscoring record. Why then would we sign a player who scored...
I find it very hard to believe he will be interested but, if so, I wouldn't change my opinion but I would support Chris and the player. Don't see it though.
Agreed. It is vital he gets game time and hopefully he'll be able to play for the first team on a regular basis. If he manages that at League 1 level and does well, I suppose a Championship loan could be next in line if we go up.
I'm sure they are not gambling but I am also sure they only want the right players for the club. We are not going to sign someone for the sake of it.
Anyway, unless you are willing to pay over the odds, most deals don't get sorted until the last few days of the window.
I wouldn't even consider signing him. He'll go to one of the clubs who have too many strikers already like Wednesday or Derby.
I would debate one of your pros there. When you say he is exactly the type of striker we need, you are missing one of Baldock's key attributes for us. His work rate is...
Agreed. And even if they got the possible play off place, they would probably be outsiders to win it.
They are better to lose the players now and bring a couple in when they can have a poor run and not drop too near the bottom three. If they lose them all in the summer, they'd be in real...
But my point is we do bring everyone back at corners anyway. It doesn't change our tactics when we go ahead.
We sometimes, like last night, bring on the extra midfielder but not always. Recently Hughton has been less inclined to change to 433 when we go ahead. I think last night was down to the...
We're far from alone. And to be honest, your comment about corners and free kicks often applies to when we're level with teams too. It's just the way we play.
I think it is very harsh to criticise this team at the moment. It seems like you just want something to complain about. Not saying that...
Equally great would be Rosenior scoring the winner in front of the Reading fans, after the abuse he got all game at the Madejski (including when stretchered off).
A massive part of this squad and under rated by some. Yes, he's not as prolific as Murray but he works very hard for the team and makes a big contribution. Has never let his head drop with being out of the team and, despite missing a good chance yesterday, came back to score a great goal.
Also...
I think we'll put out a team good enough to win so will be disappointed if we lose. I think it will mainly involve those who did not start last night including Maenpaa, Tomori, Huhenmeier, Adekugbe, Ince, Norwood, Sidwell, Towell and Skalak. Might even start one of Murray or Hemed as we don't...
I never understand that way of refereeing. Surely time wasting is pretty obvious and if referees consistently warned the captain the first time it happened and then booked the relevant player the next time his team did it, it would be cut out very quickly. It seems something that could be...
Obviously this is going to be biased towards Albion players. My logic is that you go for the best attacker in the best attack in the division or the best defender in the best defence. So I've gone for Dunk over Gayle (as I am a Brighton fan and we are currently top).
Not quite sure what Hull are doing. Why sell your best player to a team that could still end up being a relegation rival? Almost like they are accepting relegation.
I think he just wants Premier League football. I don't think he specifically wants out of Albion, but if we don't go up he will leave the club to go to a Premier League club. If we do go up, I am confident he will stay but could be completely wrong.
Sorry, didn't mean it to come across like that. It was certainly not an expected signing (as so many of ours aren't) but I trust Hughton, Winstanley and co to get it right.
Good luck with preparing for your new baby!
I find it really funny that Norwich jumped in and took Pritchard off us but, if they were going to steal one of our transfer targets, it should have been Duffy. Based on the game we played against them and where I've watched them since, they really need someone like him. I'm really glad they...
I think he missed the last home game and his back up single handedly stopped us, like Marshall had done the year before. We've hammered them 1-1 in the last two home games. We need to turn it round tonight.
Can't believe we will have 60 points if we win tonight and be 11 points clear of third...
Terrible attitude in recent years and has played four games in the Greek League since April. Signing him and selling Van Arnholt suggests Sunderland are accepting they are likely to go down.
