Baldock - immense game

[El Presidente]

In addition, Hemed's first touch has improved massively. Some quality ball control, even in the short time he was on.

Never mind your sordid sexual fantasies, how did he play?

Just for laughs, here's another belter from the same author:

Absolutely LOVE that

Baldock has retired [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION]

The understanding he has with Murray is almost telepathic now, he always seems to just know where those little headed flick ons are going to go. Superb

To me it seems like Baldock thrives when he knows he's the main man. He was superb for Bristol City when he was the captain, it's taken time for him to settle into our team but he can clearly see how important he is to the team, and this seems to make him work/run/chase harder. He's like a dog with five dicks out there. That goal yesterday was ridiculous, it was Luis Suarez style strength and determination. I've always liked Baldock but I cannot and will not pretend that I thought he was capable of this level of performance week in week out. I'm so looking forward to Newcastle's defence having to play against him for a full match.

Great observation.

Where Baldock got a tiny bit lucky is how his first touch bounced into his chest and then came back down for him to hit it home confidently. But it was still a brilliant goal.

I've convinced myself that, inch for inch, that's what he meant to do

 

[Marshy]

He's in top top form at present, long may it continue

Murphy was still Mom tonight however ;-)

It was nice to hear a Baldock chant tonight

Every successful striker needs a bit of swagger. When the players are forming two lines up to do sprints at the end of the warm up, which two players ALWAYS put themselves at the front? Baldock and Knockeart.

Brilliant analysis. I too could see the value that he adds in stretching opposition defences. However now more than he has ever been in his time here he is an absolute genuine goal threat.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

It will be a hard call between his and Sidwells.

Baldock seems to have his own goal of the season competition this season. Brilliant goals at home to Fulham, home to QPR, away to Barnsley and yesterday. What a season he is having.

Anyone still having doubts about Baldock, if anyone is left, should look at the second Barnsley goal where he ran back to win the ball back from a corner and then finished the move too.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

Showed his football brain where Akpom didn't (harsh but fair) in closing down their keeper - played the angles and cut off 2 players by going in between them. Very impressive.

Where's [MENTION=13055]Ninja Elephant[/MENTION] - surely time to finally hold those hands up & admit you were completely wrong and the rest of us were completely right..?

In fairness to him, he wasn't the only one who criticised Baldock regularly. I've always thought he was under rated here. For example, Hughton had us improving when he arrived and our end of season bad run coincided with injury for Baldock. However, he didn't score enough goals for a striker. This season he's added more goals and I think got more than his other two season put together. Key part of the team now.

That's what I was trying to say, but you've said it much better.

I think it was only when he was out injured earlier this season that we realised how much we missed him.
And since he's come back in, he's just gone up another level with his play to awesomeness.
Long may it continue.

 

[GreersElbow]

"Doesn't score enough goals and that's what strikers are for" - a well know 'fact' BG spouted.

Baldock's bringing the goods and then some. He's a versatile player, he often fell onto the left flank to stretch Reading's defence further, allowing for players such as Poco to overlap and Murphy to cut inside - it's intelligent play, his runs are for a purpose and not to look like he's doing something.

I dare say, he has been quite a crucial player for us this season and I would go as far as saying, we are not likely to be where we are without him.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Now he is fit again, Baldock is showing why we paid so much money for him. That control and finish yesterday was absolutely top drawer.

 

[symyjym]

At least Burke got one right.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Great to see Baldock finally starting to pay us back for his abysmal failure last season

 

[Nixonator]

At least Burke got one right.

I thought that was more down to Jones's connection with Charlton and his recommendation.
