Baldock

[INTERUNITED]

Desperately need George back in the side. We are as soft as shit at the minute, we need fighters in the team. No slight on Bogle (I'd consider playing him in midfield), but the current team is way too soft. Fleck needs to come back into the side as well for me. We can't keep letting teams overrun us in midfield.

 

[CPB]

Need him back as an option if nothing else.

Offers fight and drive if nothing else.

Baldock likes to trash talk opposition he knows how to get under their skin. They have also seen enough of him to know if he is chasing after them ,they are in for a hard tackle unless they can pass it off quickly.

 

[Varkanoid]

Can't wait for old Balders to come back.

 

[Toronto Blade fan]

No way he plays ahead of Bogle. And the Fleck comment surely is a joke, right?

In a current form, Baldock starts ahead of Bogle. Better defender by a country mile.
Fleck has got to be a better option than Berge who is currently a passenger

Bogle can’t defend Baldock needs to come back in and try Bogle further up the pitch where he can damage teams

We are missing tacklers. Sander Berge clearly has a no-tackle clause in his contract. We massively miss a Fleck style midfielder. Under Wilder as soon as we lost the ball high up we would give away a cheap free kick to re-group. The last couple of games we are losing goals because Berge in particular hasn’t taken a player out on the counter.

I love Fleck, he's my favourite signing of the Wilder era, but he is so incredibly pedestrian nowadays, second only to Enda.

We need Baldock for the games against the better teams, Boro today etc

But Bogle is better going forward against the lesser teams when we are on the front foot

We have to play the opposition at this stage, get the result and fuck the glamour shit, points are all that matters right now

 

[robbiez666]

Baldock would be starting games like today and Boro. Bogle is generally better going forward but defensively suspect.

I said this weeks ago when people were talking about his lack of end product.

Bogle poor in last two games…..Baldock absolutely comes in for me. Lowe also can’t defend against the good teams.

 

[BouncinBlade]

For me, furious needs to be starting every game now. His passion far out weighs Bogles and that is what we need right now. He’s better defensively and can still get up the pitch to create chances. After been pessimistic all season - I’m starting to believe

Exactly mate. Did anyone notice his face just before we kicked off. He was pumped up to hell wandering about, wanting to do damage to someone

If all the players were like Baldock we'd be top of the league at the minute and not looking over our shoulders.

Deffo in front of Jaden at the minute.

[BouncinBlade]

I saw the video after the game. He’s exactly what we’ve been missing. He’s what the Blades are all about! Pride & passion

Agree with that.

As for Bogle, it would be good if he could remain in the team but in Berge's right sided midfield spot. I think it would be interesting to see especially as I don't think we've ever tried him there before? If it doesn't seem to be working out, we could always make the substitution to put Berge back there.

 

[BouncinBlade]

Good point but I’m not sure it’s something you’d want to try at this stage of the season. For me, Bogle gives the ball away far to easily. Think he will be premier league someday. Hopefully with us

 

[Chief_Froley]

Tbh I'd like to see the return of Bogle at LWB if it means Baldock starting.

Yes, Bogle's had a couple of sub par performances recently but Lowe has been off it for a lot longer. If anyone gets hooked for Furious George it should be him

 

[Weasel]

At the moment we have been giving away too many silly goals. Part of that problem is down the right hand side of our defence and I think a lot of the issues are Bogle can forget his defensive duties at times. It also has a knock on effect on our midfield and right centre halves who are mindful and aren't as positive going forward. So what you gain with Bogles natural attacking inclination you lose with others trying to make up for his defensive shortcomings. Chuck in the fact that Baldock would win through a brick wall for United and (although I do like Bogle) it's a no brainer for me. A lot of fans like Baldock for obvious reasons. But some will only truly appreciate him once hes not here playing his trade any more. A proper United player.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Now he's back I want him playing every minute, at RWB or LWB

When he's on the right, that side is solid. When he isn't, it's vulnerable. Massive difference

Dip Bogle in and out - start him in at least 4 of the home games. That's the right way to use him for now. Start him every game and he fizzles out

He’s got to be in the team, he’ll run through brick walls for us, he’s just what we need for the run in.
