Or a little short of 1 in 4. Would likely score 10 ish goals in a season if he stays fit.
10 goals in the Championship for a relegated side ( Bristol City ) is a fairly decent return, but his 11 for Brighton was in their promotion season so you'd imagine he'd have got plenty of chances
I can’t imagine there’s anything in the Baldock rumours. Only one prolific season in League 1, on big wages and that’s probably not the only reason Reading want to move him on. There must be some younger, hungrier players out there with more potential.
If we if we go into next season with Taylor, Aneke, Bonne and Baldock as the front four options, I would be happy enough on the low budget we have. All of them know where the goal is, it will be whether we can get sufficient creativity in the midfield to unlock the better Championship defences vs. league 1?
not a rumour .. a wish .. experienced and consistent goal scorer, albeit in the bottom 2 divisions ? .. the same name I have been touting for the past five seasons .. Paddy Madden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddy_Madden
Haven’t watched this yet but apparently Bowyer has said he wants 2 or 3 permanent signings and four loans. Also talks about Aneke coming in as a 10, so we need 1 ideally 2 strikers.

So Aneke is probably the reason it’s gone quiet on Otzumer.
Was told today by a Reading fan we are looking at Sam Baldock....
Reading are trying to shift a few fringe players to reduce their wage bill, one being Baldock. He'd have to lower his wages and I wonder if we can afford the fee (though as Reading want shot of him that will reduce the fee a bit perhaps)
So maybe there was some truth in that earlier in the week...

I thought someone bigger than Fleetwood would have got him last time he moved.

agreed .. he'd been a success at 2 unfashionable clubs, Yeovil and Scunthorpe, possibly it was generally thought he was not suited to a 'bigger stage' .. OR .. I overrate him and he's always played at his optimum level ((:>) https://youtu.be/FyoeGaneDEU

Well if we signed Williams that would be two players for that position, can’t see us having three in any position.

Remember him as a busy, hardworking player with a goal in him.
Could be a good foil for Lyle and Aneke.
No idea if he's the same player Powell wanted 7 years ago.
He's 7 years older...
Taylor is a better player than he was seven years ago. Baldock may be worse.

Therefore releasing Baldock might mean they can bid for Piggott.
