The January Transfer Window

Eek.

From a reliable reporter as well.

I think flabbergasted is the word.

'hardly prolific,but he's effective' you're having a laugh fella. Effective at what? We need someone someone to compliment Murray, not be 'effective' who runs around a lot but is mostly second to the ball and easily moved off the ball. We don't need some competition for Baldock we need a replacement.

Other than Stephens going in January, my biggest concern is what would we do should Baldock get injured. I see him as vital to the way we have played under Hughton. His pressing the line creates the space for the midfield to play in. Neither Murray nor Hemed can do this and Knockaert and Murphy weren't as good at it in the games that they were asked to play the role. Brighton are better with him in the side and I can't see anybody obvious that we could afford who would do this any better than he has.

Effective at winning games? If all you think SB does is 'run around alot' then I really can't be arsed to dispute.

I think SB is a decent player at this level but I doubt he would cut it in the Prem. We definitely need to improve his position. I'd rather a more combative centre forward playing off the shoulder.

One step at a time.

'Pressing the line', 'hardly prolific, but he's effective'. Can anyone else come up with words'that are an excuse for a striker that doesn't score enough goals. Strange that we scored our two goals against Birmingham on Saturday when he was off the pitch and not pressing the line. Who would you want in the centre when Knockhaert scored, him or Baldock? If we're serious about promotion theres only one answer. We need a replacement because without Murray, for whatever reason, Baldock cannot fill the gap up front and we would fail to gain promotion. Its an important point given that we are in a results orientated sport and not one that awards points for 'running off the ball' etc, etc, and do remember that there is always a probability that both Murray and Hemed could be injured or suspended at the same time. We need a replacement if we want to secure promotion.

I don't think you understand

Well you should be, running off the ball a much used 'pundit term' is not that evident to me and has produced little. As far him worrying defences, he's so light against his opponents he is easily moved off the ball. Can't be arsed to dispute, i'm not surprised. I have nothing against Baldock and want him to score every game, he's just not what we want in a promotion race, sorry.

At least we've found our new Ashley Barnes

Have you already forgotten about JFC?

What about that fella who got us back in the game with a wonder strike then assisted for the winner against Fulham after they battered us for 60mins? He could replace the player you're describing.

You clearly don't have a clue what JFC does for us then. If you don't think JFC is good at what he does, you clearly don't have a clue about football. In-fact, It's not even worth the dispute.

Obviously Chris Hughton is a crap manager for not selling him. Clueless manager!

He will not play again under Hughton. Certainly not in the league.

I think there is a bit of a difference between a player out on a season long loan at a lower club, and a player starting week in week out under Hughton don't you?!

JFC is an England U21 superstar.

I don't think you understand what that means?

Baldock is our third highest scorer and second highest assist maker so far this season. Nobody is pretending that he would be a replacement for Murray. Like the whole squad this season, he is doing his own job very well.

Not sure what point you're making here. One is a player who last I checked can't get a game for Rotherham on loan and was integral in almost sending us down.

The other is a player integral to a consecutive (automatic) promotion push.

Chris Hughton thinks JFC is a good player.

Obviously the fans know better! Houghton out!

How did you think he played against Birmingham, Blackburn, Leeds and Cardiff?

I thought he was anonymous in all those fixtures?
