That Baldock tackle

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

He looks well off on that picture.

He’s miles off

Yep! - Well off; miles even.... (his left leg onside; his right leg offside)

 

[Rochdaleblade]

And I think that was the tackle Bruce was moaning about in his post-match interview, right?

Yep. Perfectly good tackle. Got the ball as everyone clearly saw at the time. Don't know why old cabbage head thinks he can run onto the pitch. I believe the referee gave a throw in.

 

[Bladesman]

That Robinson tackle set the atmosphere going, really well timed in terms of getting a reaction from us

 

[Carlton Blade]

Baldock tackle was fucking awesome. He's the only player we've had in as long as I remember who does that. Probably since Monty

 

[LewishamBlade]

So offside then?

 

[mancunianblade]

This was a decent one too.



Love to see the club's social media team trolling Bruce like that.

Good but no Jay McEveley

For all the shit Robinson gets, and a lot of it has been deserved, his performances have been good over the last few games, and tackles like that get the oppo wound up and our crowd gee’d up

Proper old school tackle that - good lad

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Thought georgie Porggi played bloody well, Billy led by Captains example and I don't just mean the goals, at the even the WBA players were congratulating and giving him a pat on the back.
Asaba noted this as well during the game, that Billy was always talking, encouraging, when Didzmeister went down Billy was first Over.

I did notice that after Ndiaye missed his chance in the second half he looked absolutely gutted and Egan (I think) got in his earole when he came up for the corner to give him some encouragement.

Agreed he’s been decent the last 3/4 times he’s played.

He won his share of duals, hit some big but perfectly timed tackles, worked hard and most importantly came up with 2/3 really impressive interceptions.

He’s not great in possession though but so long as he doesn’t take any risks he’s perfectly fine at this level.

 

[frechyblade]

Second half Baldock also kept drifting across the front line. He looked gutted at one point when he was in the middle and a pass went to Billy I think when he was open. He nearly ended up at right back at one point.
I’d give him a run at left back offers a lot more than RND.

Right leg offside for me

Great interview after the game too. Love the guy.

Always refreshing when a footballer does an interview that isn't riddled with clichés and "errrr" every 5 seconds.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Baldock is way better than RND but not on the Left

An assist and a superb, goal preventing tackle from Baldock at LB is plenty evidence to prove that you're talking shit.

Yet again.

How he’s offside there is a joke. He should do better than that. Drop him and get McBurnie on!!!!!

Sorry some of the utter shite on this forum is rubbing off on me

I like the acknowledgement from Baldock too lol

Again if you watched that first half you would see how bad we were down the left hand side

Like watching the chuckle brothers

from that angle it looks tight but you have to draw the line from the back defender at the same angle as the edge of the penalty box line which puts him onside

Apparently when he was injured he started reading books

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

So offside then?

Yes - of course he was offside; by inches though and certainly not by "miles". Why do folks have to reach for the hyperbole in order to state what is already obvious?

 

[TopBoy]

Baldock at left wing back might just work. Normally I like to see a balanced side but I remember how effective Kozzy was as a right-footed left sided player.

Not as a wrong sided wing back, not for me. It’s not the done thing, for a reason.

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

Great interview after the game too. Love the guy.

Smashing interview. Talks really well, doesn’t he? Bright, self-reflective, team-focused, engages the interviewer and answers the questions.

Not a stretch to re-watch that and hear a young manager talking.

[jono_t2000]

Had to rub my eyes when saw it was Baldock in the box playing it across to Sharp for the first goal.

One thing that's been missing from his game is his willingness to ghost into the box.

Hopefully been picking up pointers from Bogle and long may it continue.

Cabbagehead taking a leaf from Sir Alex's book of trying to influence the ref with groundless outrage.

Difference is though Brucie, it worked for Fergie because he was esteemed by all involved in football. Whereas you're just a greedy, moneygrabbing whore who'd manage a slave trade warehouse if there was a 3 year contract for you and your Son.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

A subtle hint from George that some of the players we let go may not have been pulling in the same direction as the rest.

Cracking interview from a top professional. Lucky to have him.

In fact it is the done thing , for the simple reason that it’s been estimated that only around 10 - 15% of all professional footballers are naturally left footed .

As a result , logic dictates that many of the left sided roles are occupied by right footed players and this has been the case throughout the history of the game and includes some of it’s greatest ever players .
