With a name like his it seems he was made for the club.
Good to see Robinson pounced so quickly when it looked like Baldock was on his way.
I think he will prove to be a very good signing for us, and a goal on his debut yesterday was just what we all needed.
He has a very good goal scoring record and I feel with him on board we wont miss Sam too much.
Ok he is a few years older than Sam but the goal he scored yesterday was strikers goal, a tap in in the six yard box.
Comments please.

Some of the songs I heard yesterday were so cringey
...I've said that I'm not best pleased by the choice of signing, in all honesty, surplus to requirements at Brentford, so we're signing a benched 30 year old at a (Last season) mid table League One club, but I say it with EVERY signing, I will not judge him before I see him play, just not pleased by the choice, I think it's too early for the fans to be kissing his backside, but I'll give him a go, if he scores goals, he'll be a worthy replacement

He has scored goals everywhere he has been so I think Robbo has done well in signing him.Dont forget Luke Chadwick was considered past it by Norwich and look what hes done for us.Dont forget in Robbo we trust!

well if a 30 year old keeps us on top of the league throughout the season, I'm happy

Not a terrible signing. But I don't think this team relied on Baldock to have such a great start. And what if he went and got one of his annoying injuries after we turned down a bid for £2m?
We've got a proven poacher in Macdonald, Jabo is strong and on it, Bowditch looks good, and we've got playmakers aplenty in Balanta, Chadwick and Williams.
I would really love it if we signed a top, proven defender to go alongside G-Mac.
One thing's for sure, it seems like a long time since we agonised over losing Leven.
