I think the phrase 'scores a few' is the main error in that statement.

If Gabby 'scored a few' it would mark a remarkable upturn in form, and suggest that maybe it took the booing to move his arse.

Lescott for one was making noises about staying on in the 1st Division, I hope he's clear on what we think of that now.

I understand that it will be difficult to integrate 10-15 new players into the squad next year but if the alternative is watching these wankers again then lets do it.

I think Gabby is beyond redemption, but I wouldn't be surprised if Hutton, Cissoko, Clark, Westwood, Sanchez, Grealish, Sinclair and Gestede all end up having some role to play.  I'm not saying I would keep them all, but I think replacing an entire squad is totally unrealistic.

At the expense of another relegation?  Personally I would prefer the new manager to decide who he wants to work with, not the fans.

I can only speak for myself but the risks of relegation would be far reduced with a new set of players. With this lot the losing mentality is so ingrained I wouldn't be surprised.

Depends on if you're talking goals at VP, women on Broad Street or canisters of N2O from Sheik Djibouti in some 27 star Dubai hotel.

I think if you take that list in reverse order you're probably not too far out.

None of whom were boo-ed on Saturday.

I wouldn't have a problem with most of those players being at the club next season

There might be  new target anyway if Black continues being a complete twat. He might take a boo or two away from the famous 5.

Few, if any, of the current squad have any credit in the bank.
They have let us down massively over the last couple of years with the obvious result this year.

I don't see anything that makes me feel they should be supported and encouraged yet. Especially when the vast majority of the team have been so chronically bad.

And, lets face it, every single one of those players who started on Saturday would gladly walk away in the summer if there was someone stupid enough to come in for them.

We owe them fuck all.

I do

There was a point in the first half that Bacuna picked up the ball and was roundly boo'd. He then went on a little run into the opposition area and was roundly cheered for his efforts. It would have been interesting what would have happened if he had scored!!!

I actually think the players have got the message now (even if the Manager has not) and I think it is fair game to shout and boo at them when they leave the field - but not during.

I must admit if I got the stick Lescott and Guzan got during the game I would be terrified to even want the ball for fear of a mistake

It is clearly effecting their performance

I'm not so sure about that we haven't been booing Lescott all season yet his performance levels are the same now as they were before we started booing him.

We need to get to the end of the season so all of the noise stops. On the field, in the stands, in the media and off the pitch. We need a little bit of calm where critical non football decisions can be made. Also, when our relegation can take second place to others winning things, and other teams being the focus of relegation.
