To give a nod to Sam as an ex-Don. However, his career has not gone as he wished, I think he would be the first to admit that.


He's playing for a Premiership team. :?


What a dull statement ! He is AT a Premiership team, but up to yesterday he had played a sum total of NO MINUTES all season :roll:

There are many squad players at the 20 Prem teams...but many of them will never break into their first 11, let alone become a household name !

Are you seriously saying that Sam said "ah...my ambition is to be at a massive club...like Brighton.....and occasionally get on the bench there" ?! Hardly ! Surely he set out to become an established Prem player. But I cannot ever seeing that happen.

Please engage brain, ReturnofMoo, if you are going to try and chip in with a "funny" comment...


I see I have hit a nerve. :lol: Hasn't he been injured (unfortunately a common occurrence for Sam)? I understand Sam said that he would only count as the main striker at a top 6 club and an England call up as a success. He would have stayed with us if he had known.

Also he played the best part of 90mins in the FA Cup game as he came on as a sub for Brown after 6mins.
So the claim he has played 0 minutes until this week is also wrong.

I was referring to 0 minutes in the Premiership, as the Prem was the thrust of the conversation :roll:

I also made the point about him being a premiership player. Whether you call it being a premiership player or AT a premiership club, the main point is he is playing at a much higher level than us, and his wages will be at that level too. He's out of our league.

It looks like he is happy there.

'As soon as the club made noises that they wanted to extend my contract it was always in my head that this is where I want to be,' Baldock told the club's official website.
