[Albion] Kayak and Baldock - when back?

[Ninja Elephant]

Instead of who? But good to have on the bench if needed.

Unfortunately, he hasn't added a lot of bite and drive for several months. He is a quality player, but at the moment we have better quality footballers in our midfield. He may well make his way back in the team, but at the moment he has a fight on his hands just to be a valued squad player.

I don't think he'll come straight back in to start but I think he gives us the option to move Pröpper forward if anything were to happen with Gross, or even in place of Gross if required. We have a lot of games in December especially so we'll need to have as many options ready and available as possible. You never know what will happen in the next game, or even the next training session.

Kayal is a sensational player but my concern is that he's as brittle as Baldock and neither will keep themselves fit for long periods.

I see both are in action for U23 this week! Be good to have both back, Baldock esp for our attack.

It will be great to get Baldock back for a couple of games and then his next injury lay off can start.

Yes, in Timon of Athens but the saying predates him; Aristotle used a version 1800 years previously. See https://quintessentiallyenglishblog.wordpress.com/2012/07/25/one-swallow-doesnt-make-a-summer/

If there are mental issues surrounding the recovery of either or both, perhaps a chat with Uwe might help. Amazing attitude to injury and not playing. Did well yesterday.

I'm shocked that we gave him a 3 year contract. I can only think that he is earning a 'pittance', by premier league standards.

We did something similar with Kaz too.

You think he'll last as long as that? [emoji3]

If they hadn't, in the Summer, the club would have been looking for 2 strikers instead of 1.

How did they get on tonight?

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Kayal scored a fanstatic goal. Baldock couldnt quite turn in a great cross from Cox, he also played up front central, not on the wing. Both looked lively and I think they both came off at about 60 minutes. Will be like having two new signings once they are fully fit.

Only watching on screen but good goal from Kayal, Baldock looked pacy but fluffed a couple of chances. Both played more than half the game.

 

[tigertim68]

Both looked pretty fit to me

 

[Sirnormangall]

Both looked sharp and fit tonight. Tilley scored another cracker.

Hughton also confirms Sam Baldock will either feature for the under-23s tomorrow or be included in #BHAFC's first-team squad on Saturday.

Hopefully in the squad for Saturday even if only for the bench as another option.

Rather he had another run out for the U23's. We have Murray and Hemed. After Saturday it's another international break. No rush.

Agree with that.

Glenn to start, with both Tomer and Izzy on the bench Saturday

Two more weeks for Baldock to get up to speed.

Yep. He isn't going to get that sitting on the bench. Sounds like Kayal is ahead of Baldock as he has played an extra u23 game. He could feature on the bench for Swansea.
