I disagree that Bacuna needs to go to get a unified dressing room but seeing how the fans have turned on him it may be better for him to leave.

I certainly do not see him as being a leader of "Cliques" within the dressing room - if anything he comes across as quite a quiet and shy man.  He is not the greatest of footballers but he certainly is not the worst at the club and can fill in in a variety of positions.
His biggest "crime" was when being led whilst interviewed into saying that he would like to play in the Champions league - I have not understood why he was made a pariah for that

Oh and the other fact is that he is signed up for the next 3-4 years

Agree fully. I've no issue with bacuna and feel for him as he is being slaughtered for nothing really. Being shite isn't his fault also (even if he is better than shite. Just average).

If the "Let's forgive everyone who has been a complete tool" season has begun then I will forgive Gabby,Richards,Lescott,N'Zogbia etc etc....in fact forgive & forget......I forgive every single one of those tossers who took a wage,took the piss & took us down!

Actually,I'll forget we was relegated as well!

Sorted....I feel a whole lot better now!

There was the photo he posted of himself on holiday when we were deep in the mire and then there have been a few spats with fans.  I witnessed one at half-time in the Southampton game a few weeks ago, when after playing that terrible ball for their second goal, he decided to give it the old "come on then" gesture to some fans as he was walking off.  All that on top of being consistently poor on the pitch.

Yes, wish I'd seen that Southampton gesture you mention, cos I certainly would have took him up on the offer.
What turned me against him was after the Wycombe game, no shame at all shown.

I don't have any issues with Bacuna over the CL thing or any clique stuff. My issue is him being shit. That's why I want him out whether it's his fault or not.

Bacuna is a clueless cock and most of the squad are knackers, you do realise we won 3 games right? There needs to be a big clear out, it's going to take a couple of years to get the squad fully sorted and the right people in and all the wrong uns out. Baker, Steer, Gardner, they're lower Championship players, they've been doing average in shite teams, not even standing out. Gardner apparently had a great first season at Notts, last season, not so much so. The likes of them aren't going to come in and save us.

Well unless we get a new inspector on the bus to throw of the ones without tickets we are going to be stuck with the passenger's who all had a free ride this year. We await 'blakey' ..he'll soon have them off.

is the correct answer

the fact is he is just a fucking shit footballer. you have a player of his standard and westwood starting regularly and you end up exactly where we are now

I was sat right by the tunnel when it happened. There were a couple of blokes giving him every expletive going.
Daft thing he did, though, should have just carried on past.

In terms of strikers, I'd like to see us go for this year's equivalent of Andre Gray or Callum Wilson. I don't know enough about the lower divisions to know who this would be, but a pacy young striker who has already proven their goal scoring credentials in the Championship or League One. I appreciate that this is probably too simplistic, but looking at the top scorer tables; Nahki Wells at Huddersfield, William Grigg at Wigan, Nicky Ajose at Swindon, or Sam Winnall at Barnsley seem to fit the bill. It would be good to be able to play in different ways, with the Gestede/ Kozak option also available.

Kozak is poor so hopefully we can replace him.

Above all we need players who can actually play well together. I know that football is an arcane alchemy whose mysteries are impenetrable to even the wisest, but it surely it doesn't take a genius to see that players who like to press and keep the ball (Veretout, Gana) shouldn't be playing in front of a back four which can't play a high line on account of Lescott's slowness and Richards' stupidity. Some joined-up thinking please.
