Rob k Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 There is the conundrum. He really could be the top scorer in the country right now. However to say that to be content with him, because of how the rest of the team is doing, he would have to be the countrys top scorer is setting the bar very high indeed. It is very frustrating, but if we were tighter, I think we would be celebrating his winners much more than his misses. I think... Valid point about the defence, for me it's purely down to the chances he's missed, these are not what I consider to be half chances hence why I believe he probably should be the country's top scorer right now.

Bowie Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Baldock is now joint scorer with JET. who knows who will finish the season on more. At least Baldock wanted it today. More than can be said for JET who can seemingly do no wrong. Much is made of Baldock's chances missed but nothing of JET who today couldn't find a team mate more often than he was dispossessed. Apart from the FACT that Jet has scored more goals despite prior to this season never being an out and out forward. Plus the FACT that Baldock is our pen taker so would likely get a few more goals as he has. You mention Jets passing however would you like to down the route of assists this season v Baldock Or would you rather quit now and climb out of the hole you've dug yourself.

BCFC Jordan Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Frustrating first half performance, it has definitely become a psychological thing now (in regard to the amount of one and ones he's missed), but credit to Sam for bouncing back in the second half and scoring two important goals. Hopefully he can kick on from this now. At the end of the day Sam and JET are on twelve goals each in the league, just three behind the overall top goalscorer.. That's not bad when considering they're both in a team that's currently 22nd place. It would surprise me if Sam ended up top goalscorer in the league if we can go on a little run. With a bit of added confidence and having the likes of Reid, Gillett and Pack in the side, he will continue to get those one on ones and if he starts converting a higher percentage of them he will be cruising.

You refered to Jets passing not me, you refered his inability to find a team mate, which is unfair considering he is top of both assists and goals this season. Striker are also based on assists. When you compare Jet v Baldock, Jet without doubt has had a great impact on the team this season. Baldock may or may not get 20 goals by the end of the season and he should given his reputation, however Jet will likely be on 20 goals by end of the month, whereas Baldock will be doing well still to be captain at the end of the month.

Redtucks Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Baldock's header miss was a big blow but the one on ones weren't as simple as they might have been. Not a good angle and covering defenders made it hard for him to go across the keeper. Scoring two out of five chances is a normal return for a striker so why people make such a big deal about it is beyond me. I said at the start of the season he'd break 20 - and only two strikers since Taylor have done that for us in the league - and he will. JET wasn't at his best but I'd make two points. One: He still created a lot - sprung the offside trap for Baldock four times I think and started the move that led to his good chance in the first half. Two: On the two or three prominent times he lost the ball he was carrying it out of defence, with no passing options in front or level with him, and being challenged by two or three opponents together. To be honest I think some people watch too much Premier League. You can't expect a striker to score every chance and when they've got 33 goals between them just over half way through the season complaining about either of them is complete nonsense. He scores one and we hold onto a lead and lose momentum and end up losing three one, who's to say what would happen? Point is, he scored two, from five chances. Missed one sitter. The one on ones weren't sitters they were decent chances but not ones you'd expect to score every time - MK Dons missed two like that as well. Let's not mention El Abd (who was otherwise good) giving away the first goal or all three central midfielders and three central defenders letting them walk unchallenged through the middle of the pitch for the second shall we? These quotes are far too sensible for this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is being said he has missed 22. I have not counted them, but Its not really 0/22 is it - more like 6/28 or something.

BRISTOL86 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Jet has And JET is in a quality league all of his own as we know The difference is Baldock is never a passenger. You could argue that if JET could gee himself up for every game, rather than every other game, we'd be clear of danger. The bottom line is even the worlds best strikers miss chances. Baldock is far from that, but a return of 20 league goals, at any level, is considered an excellent return, and he is well on course for that. If we were mid table this would be a non issue. But it's a lot easier for the unintelligent fan to jump on a striker for missing a chance than being able to recognise the defensive mistakes that lead to chances conceded Make no mistake, it is our goals conceded that have us in the drop zone, not our lack of goals scored.

The frustrating thing with Baldock is every time he finds himself in a one on one situation, he just does the same thing and blasts the ball straight at the keeper. You'd think he'd occasionally try to dummy the keeper and put it to his wrong side. Any keeper watching SB will know you just need to stand your ground and he'll hit the ball straight at you!

Partially correct in that we have drawn far too many, but the fact that only 5 teams out of 17 outside of the playoffs have scored more than us tells you that of those games, we have drawn them because of conceding too many, not scoring too few. However we are making slow progress. Osborne and El Abd add more solidity and let's just hope we can stop shipping so many goals. Today was a perfect example. Very soft defending for both goals. We could and should have kept a clean sheet today if we'd have eradicated the simple defensive errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two games against Mk, scored two in each, could have won or lost both games easily, he missed most likely his easiest chance in both. In a microcosm, Mk sum up our season so far. Not sure what that says! Equally they missed at least one on one that we put down to decent saves. Equally, if we had been told he would score twice today before the game, would we have taken that, regardless of how many chances it took? I suspect so.

Righto you can't be bothered. But are willing to let the player take a load of shit for it. To such an extent that people are phoning up radio stations stating it as fact. So maybe you should list them maybe the flack can then be justified?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon79 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Very much reminds me of Tony Thorpe. For me Thorpe was a good finisher. Cool in one on one situations if my memory serves me well. As for Baldock, it's good that he is getting into these positions. 14 is a good return at this point in the season( I know it could be doubled!). For the last few years I've watched city struggle to create anything, so at least that is a step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I am stunned people are knocking him, its so frustrating. He is there to score goals, he is scoring goals, yet, people still want to moan and knock him. Take him out of the squad and we lose almost 50% of our goals!!! Who else is scoring apart from him and JET? Its like some City fans are like a dog with a bone and can't let the subject drop due to losing face. So what he misses chances, he is scoring goals, and that what he is doing!!! Take him out of the squad and we are playing with 10 men by your logic.

Our strikers should score 75 a season and we should at least be competing for the Europa League! Funny, someone was chanting 'you have no history' to the MK Dons fans and someone shouted back 'so what, we have 120 years of **** all' Made I larf!

Jesus Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Take him out of the squad and we are playing with 10 men by your logic. No, my logic is that Baldock scores just under half of our goals. That is my logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon fans saying we are shite, me giving some back. Then the killer. Ever been in the premiership ever won a major domestic cup? And as much as they are scummy pig towners, there is no real getting away from that fact. I just have to be happy knowing I don't have to live in their town!

Monkeh Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Baldock has a good return it's more worrying that we need to score 3 to win a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Baldock has a good return it's more worrying that we need to score 3 to win a game Today we could've been 3 up and shut up shop inside 20 mins! These missed chances cost us massively and everyone knew what was going to happen especially after the header Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what you said, you said we lose 50% of our goals. Only if you're planning on playing with 10 men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These missed chances cost us massively and everyone knew what was going to happen especially after the header So it wasn't the non existent defending for the two goals that cost us today? We shouldn't have to rely on scoring three to win, especially at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
