BALDOCK

[SteveBlade]

Where are you? Get fit you twat.

Absolute joke that our two right wing backs are injured. Fucking unbelievable.

Smash lot up.

Shithouse.

Sorry Baldock you're not a twat, but please get fit.

 

[Nick Jansky]

How many games has he actually been fit for this season?

 

[Weasel]

It's a never ending injury saga for him. We hear that he could be involved and is very close....then he doesn't get picked and is apparently still unfit. A week later we hear that he could be involved and is very close....then he doesn't appear and is apparently still unfit. A week passes....we hear he could be involved.....


Clearly we need abother wing back. Hes a good player but it seems that he cant get fit for any length of time. Disappointing.

Freeman might beat Baldock back Baldock keeps going from back for the next game to disappearing again.

Basham is a donkey at RB

Should have had an assist or two today, and it's not his fault he didn't.

Limited funds mean you have to take a risk on onjury prone players as they are often the only ones within out budget who are 'good' enough. So we end up witj the likes of Baldock, Stearman and Donaldson who will be in and oit of the team

 

[Weasel]

Basham had a good game today to be fair to him. But he's not a natural wing back. Hes doing a job for the team but it's not ideal.

The disappointing thing is how long it is taking Baldock to get back after what was apparently only a minor knock weeks ago.

We need a natural right wing back as that then allows Basham to go back into the right of the back 3 and take out CCV as he needs taking out of the firing line for a few games. CCV hasnt become a bad player overnight but he is a very young player and young players form goes up and down.

A few tweaks and we will be fine til January when CW will.hopefully do early business in the transfer market.

It's a worry. WB is an especially physically punishing position to play and must take a large toll in the body. We struggle without 2 out and out wingbacks.

 

[cahill]

Need Baldock or Freeman back

 

[Foody]

Without him and Freeman we lack pace in both attack and defence. Bash is deceptively quick, but his pace is now missing from the back three. Real shame that Thomas isn't ready to step up, we just desperately lack a bit of pace.

Today highlighted the extra pressure on O'Connell too. Without an attacking RCB, all the outlets are coming down the left, and subsequently leaving us exposed.

 

[Harry's Game]

The biggest issue with Basham at Wing back is the weakening of the centre back three pairing.

Baldock is key at WB but Basham is a better option defensively than Freeman in that position. Basham has to revert to the back three as you say, they're leaking goals like a sieve, so a plan C (or is it D) is need for WB. Lundstram perhaps?

No he isn’t..and his crossing was better today..put one on a plate for Brooks which he should have scored also..

 

[Slim Man]

Carruthers should be our emergency right wing back. We look lost with the current setup in defence

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

Baldock looks a decent player but if he is going to be a bit of a crock, and Wider wants to play the wing back system, we may have to look singing someone else to play there - when the window opens.

Wanker post of the day, MOM today.

 

[Toronto Blade]

I thought Basham had a good game he put a couple through the box that on another day our strikers would have made a meal of.
One of those games where the ball didn't drop for us as well as Millwall out worked us and simply wanted the win more than our players did.

 

[Ricky]

Baldock's absence has cost us points.

With Freeman being out we really couldn't afford an injury to him.

Missing him more than Coutts at the minute.

It's an area we might have to look at strengthening in January. There are enough decent options for that position.

 

[Blade58]

Strange with Baldock cos it feels like he's had a fitness test the last 3 weeks running and keeps failing them

If he was nearly fit 3 weeks ago, enough to undergo a test, I'd expect him back by now

When's Freeman due back?

Wouldn't mind a loan but don't think we can carry 3 RBs who would all see themselves as first team players.

Basham Put 4 -5 really good first time balls in the box in the first half.. Trouble is Sharp was on the bench and Clarke had an absolute stinker today. Unlucky

Yep I think Wilder has let the players know by the sounds of it he won't tolerate big time charlies ,we have to move on ,put it behind us quickly,tough game
next Friday against a team who have lost fewer games than any other .

Wanker post of the day, MOM today.

Having watched the highlights back you can’t really lay blame with Bash, some decent balls into the box tbf. Think I’ll file that under the “pissed off post after the match”
