Homer Thompson Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 3? You still have to score them though. Millar and Loy cost us 4 points by missing penalties 2 years ago which might, just might, have won us the league. (Loy missed one against you last season as well iirc...and a couple of others) You can be a great player at this level but unless you have the power, placement and bottle to score a penalty, getting one is useless. And we do get a lot of penalties...probably due to having enough fans to shout for them But seriously if Baird can replicate his away form in home matches, I think we can get a pretty respectable return out of him. His work rate is good as well and he has come up with a few assists So, to get 20 goals Baird is going to need roughly 9 penalties. Thats a lot. Dont get me wrong, hes a decent player and, as you say, his link up play is good. I'd still have him at Queens just for that side of his game. However, he isnt going to get anywhere near 20 goals and will only get near 15 if you get a reasonable amount of penalties - more than we've had in the last couple of seasons combined. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Baird will get 15 goals next season at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Baird will get 15 goals next season at least. Quite possibly. But only if you give him 6 or 7 penalties to take 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Quite possibly. But only if you give him 6 or 7 penalties to take I get where you are coming from and agree he scored a few penalties towards the end of the season. If we can get 6-7 penalties a season I would be delighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Baird will get 15 goals next season at least. Extremely doubtful. His career is not littered with seasons that prolific. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 4 last season, 2 the season before that and 4 the season we won the 2nd Division. As I said, without Loy flopping around in the box, Falkirk might find they dont get as many anymore 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Baird got 7 goals in 17 games for us, i see no reason why he cant get 15 from a full season, barring injury and suspension and with decent strike partner beside him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Nederlander Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Sorry Queens fans but with the Fuddies in the league the P&B Derby is back on and you'll have to go and have a wee rivalry with somebody else - personally I'd like to suggest Raith Rovers since Dunfermline aren't worth a piss-take any more. HTH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baird is a good option but not as first choice, he will score goals here and there and does hit a cracking penalty. For me he lacks pace and looks a bit overweight. One thing he definitely needs is good support and will be interesting to see who the maestro has up his sleeve to partner him ( hopefully) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbri Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Baird needs a player who can draw defenders away from him or a big target man. I was Talking to Billy Reid and he told me about this 6 ft 5 in centre forward who plays in Sweden. I think Houston should have a look. Sounds a prospect 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better then half a nan? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
