Did I imagine the following?
Baker walking over after the final whistle and was met with some boos (which personally, I don't do). His response was to laugh.
Did anyone else see it?

After a great start he’s clearly lost it. Bye

He needs to go along with Tymon, Gayle, Jags, Thompson, and a few of the loans.
Unacceptable disgraceful end to the season

Still better than Smallpiece. Criminal that we used the loanee over him tbh.

I think he was overrated last season though and started this closer to more what he actually is. People didn’t like that and were expecting more goals etc. I think combined with the captaincy maybe the weight of expectancy got to him?

Baker should be nowhere near our first team next season

He was definitely booed when he came on, the lads next to me booed him, Smallbone and Powell.
I'm not sure how booing him helps him to be honest

When he has played ,by and large his play has been slow, negative passing generally and no physicality. Not good combinations.

He was good last season but as his career suggests he nosedived after a good year. He’s a good player I think but is one of those who seems to get all sulky when he’s dropped. I’ve got a bit of hope for him next season and don’t think we should let him go just yet

He’s way better than that idiot though.

Neil doesn’t rate him that highly though I guess so what next season holds for him God only knows but he’s one that we can keep hold off surely as we need one or two to stay!

We won’t sign him but he gave us some good moments. So for that I’m thankful!

He’s better than Laurent for sure but needs to show it.

He’s got all the tools to be a top player but as you say his heart doesn’t seemed to be in it. (I know you didn’t say that but I think it’s what you mean)

He’s big, strong (when he wants), can pass, shoot etc but he doesn’t want it. Again, seems a nice chap. Just wish he’d play to his potential.

Baker has only just turned 28 so should be able to put a shift in and get around the pitch, rather than strolling through matches as he seems to have done for most of this season. Hopefully he puts the work in in pre season and comes back a lot fitter. There’s a definitely a player in there as we saw in his first season.

A player with an over inflated ego. A player who was on Chelsea's books for 8 years but didn't make as much as a substitute appearance for them in all those years. Was sent on loan to 9 different clubs and now can't get into the starting XI of a shit championship side. He is what it says on the label.

His career has massively stalled under AN, he's still managed 13 goals and assists at an average of 1 every 2.5 games.
The fact that the manager has got nothing out of him reflects as badly on him as it does the player himself (if not more)
