Baldock - Get well soon, please!

Hard to say he is not integral.

An integral, although much maligned, member of the team is little Sam. Be interesting to see if his name appears on the teamsheet on Saturday.

 

[Petee]

I just love the random goal celebrations!

 

[Nixonator]

Some crucial goals in there.

People also tend to forget he never takes penalties, which a lot of striker's goal tallies are boosted by.

He's definitely got the best celebrations.

 

[Biscuit]

Ha how odd, I was inspired to put together a little Baldock tribute myself only this morning!

I am the Baldock!

Not sure I would call them the best, but they are certainly 'different'.

Usually when players return from injury they are phased in slowly by playing U23 games... to me this means he is a long way off considering he hasn't played any games for them. (I hope I am wrong)

That was intense... .

That's only if they've been out for a long time. You didn't see Bruno play any U23 games before coming back and he only missed a week less than Baldock. According to the Argus, he and Stephens are back in contention for Saturday.

Agree with the OP. A vital part of our team and those who criticise him should look at Albion's stats without him (see Argus yesterday) to see how vital he is. He performs a role that nobody at the club does (although it remains to be seen whether Akpom can replicate it).

 

[Malonia]

Your prayers have been answered! Back for Saturday!

Well we will see...!

The rag has covered itself by saying 'could' rather than 'will'

 

[Two Professors]

Hope he doesn't come back too soon,and aggravate his injury.Fingers and toes crossed.

I'm not sure they need to cover themselves. It was clearly from the pre match press conference. I assume 'could' is what the club said (presumably covering themselves for tweaks in training over the next couple of days).

They are just reporting what Hughton has told them. What headline would you write for
""Both are in contention. They have trained and they are fine."

 

[bhanutz]

Fingers crossed, we are getting important key players back in time for a vitally important part of the season! Let's take advantage and start to pull away from 3rd place!

I was referring to posts above saying that they are 'back' for Saturday. We know smoke and mirrors are used by clubs referring to the 'availability' of players.

Given that both are always first choice picks, Hughton has said in public they are "fine" and that they are in "contention" for Saturday.

"Both are in contention. They have trained and they are fine."

then not too much of a stretch to say "they are back". Can't see much smoke. Or mirrors.

We will find out on Saturday I suppose. It just feels like we have been here before!
