BALDOCKS ARE BROTHERS IN WAR ON PITCH
BROTHERLY love will go out of the window when George Baldock faces his older sibling tonight.
Reading, hovering just above the drop zone, are in disarray after sacking their boss Paul Clement.
And Baldock Junior (above) is hoping sixth-placed Sheffield United will pile more misery on them despite big brother Sam, 29, being a Reading striker.
“I remember the first time I played against him,” said the 25-year-old Blades wing back. “I was looking forward to it.
“All the family came, but he scored two goals and it wasn’t the best family outing.
“Although it is a bit weird playing against him, in terms of getting myself up for it, this is just another game.
“There won’t be any texts beforehand. We are both really professional and we don’t give anything away.”
vChampionship: 3pm
NORWICH will bid to retain their place at the Championship summit when they host troubled Bolton.
The Canaries are a point clear of Leeds going into the weekend, while Bolton are in the drop zone and embroiled in a pay row.
The Trotters were meant to have paid delayed November salaries on Thursday, but that failed to happen and the players’ union held talks yesterday in a bid to resolve the row.
Club owner Ken Anderson is coming under increasing pressure, but manager Phil Parkinson said: “I think there will be a positive resolution. I had a brief chat with the lads to explain the situation and Ken is looking to sort it.”
