Following him not playing for the club this season.been on the bench 3 times now without getting on.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] will Baldock ever play for the club again ?

How soon is now?
If we do buy a new striker in jan, then I suspect he’ll be the one to make way(or/and possibly Hemed if by chance we get two in)

Yes. In the cup match against Palace.

Yes.
Unfortunately for him it will be when we are chasing a game probably at The Amex though. CH seems to be sticking to a set formation and game plan away from home. We were crying out for his pace and movement in the second half yesterday.

cant see it, unless injury

Maybe not. A case could be built that he is being sold in January.
No he is plan B Chris only wants plan A. Crying out for someone different yesterday but all we got was like for like subs, very disappointing.

Seems a bit odd with our current lack of goalscoring ability he is not given a chance
Seemed like the perfect opportunity to give him a run out for 20 minutes. Unless of course CH is worried about him picking up an injury before any potential sale. Anyway, it would be good to see him given a chance in the stripes - my bet is the Palace cup game.
Good question. I haven't a clue, but it's beginning to look odd that he doesn't get a run out even for a few minutes. Disappointing that (just my personal opinion).
Can't see him being sold - we're already one short in the striker pool; getting one striker in in January will cost an arm and a leg. How many spare arms and legs has TB got? Finding one will be difficult, two? - dream on!

Didn't he suffer a set back coming back from surgery to his calf? I'd like to see him start alongside Murray or Hemed against Bournemouth but I doubt that's likely.

Hotdogs, extra onions
Once the game was effectively lost after Chelsea went 1-0 up (lets face it we were not going to score!) then it seemed strange that Hughton didn't give him 30 minutes for a run out.
I’ve been a big fan of the lad. I can only assume that he is on the bench to show prospective clubs that he is fit and valued as CH seems to have no intention of bringing him on ahead of Murray, Hemed, Groß or Brown.
Therefore, we must sell. Based on his performance last year (best 2nd striker in the league by a distance), we’d be getting £7m+ from overspending Championship sides like Norwich, Massive, Leeds, Boro or Derby. That should offset (a little) the cost of our new U23 superstar striker and Andone.
Like Stockdale, he’ll be remembered as a hero of our promotion year with some quite fantastic goals and always 10/10 for effort and running. All the best to him. I just wish I’d been able to see him perform in the Premier League for us.

Baldock will score on saturday, so i think yes , he will play for us again .
I know sentiment doesn't come into it as far as professional football is concerned, but if - and I think it's a great big if - we are going to sell him to a big money Championship club, surely we can let the lad have a few minutes on the pitch, just so that he can tell his grand-kids that he played in the PL.
But surely these teams aren't completely stupid and know the lad's injury record... And will notice he hasn't played?

The problem many seem to be ignoring is that SB is really only any good acting as a foil for a fellow striker, and not as a stand alone. All the while Houghton only plays the one up front SB won't get a look in.
