It’s one thing struggling v a Watford defence, another v wallsall reserves and a very poor pen. He’s a cov player so I will defend him, but certainly not his finest hour tonight

Baka at times looks like he is capable of doing some quite skilful things but it's a glimpse a game and even then there is rarely any end product.
Christmas he needs to sold assuming his form maintains the mediocre levels he is currently operating at.

Serious question here.... who actually signed him? I can only think they were looking at another Walsall player and got the names mixed up and we were to ashamed to admit it.

Never was going to be good enough so we shouldn’t be surprised.

I think this was Widdrington he came back in for him with Bristol rovers just after he went there,I can’t work out how he’s made it a pro footballer honestly can’t.

Mediocre - Adjective
of only moderate quality; not very good.
That would be a vast improvement.

Baka needs to go, he is not good enough for a team with ambitions to push for the League 1 top 6.

Walsall finished top 6 in 2016 without him. They then finished 15th and 17th in 2017 and 2018.

Thanks for the two goals against Charlton away which was a great snatch and grab win but other than that it's time to move on.

That was the conversation with a couple of guys at work recently that it was head scratching that he has made a living as a pro footballer and we actually paid a fee for him. Who scouted him needs booting out.

He was crap last night BUT he had zero service and wasn't the only one to have a bad game.

I'd rather play Max in front of him, but I do think he was very isolated last night.

I can completely see why he was signed. He has some great physical attributes - his size and height, he's quick for a guy his size, left footed, still young. On some of his old Walsall videos he was unpredictable too - he would be running into the channels and going on Adebola style runs where you never quite knew what was gonna happen next. That's a great foundation to build on if the desire and understanding to improve is there.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be. Doesn't seem to have much football intelligence or self motivation at all and he's never looked like a natural striker in the box. At the same time it looks like we've tried to coach him into being the focal point in that 4-2-3-1 and now 4-3-3 and ironically the discipline required for that role has taken away what little edge he had before and that unpredictability seems to be gone too.

Can't see him being kept on beyond the end of his contract in the summer.

Sorry but that’s enough of Bakayoko. Should have sent him on loan to a non-league club.

Also he can’t have that song anymore. I’m transferring it. Done deal.

You would think, unless he don't have much intelligence, that he would be busting a gut a) to try and get a starting slot and b) to earn a new contract because on these showings surely no other dumb ass is going to sign him!

He did a couple of nice things when moved to the left too when Biamou came on. Wouldn't mind him being given 20 minutes instead of Jobello up against a tired fullback to see if it can inspire him a bit. He should get a bit more freedom then as he won't be up against 2 big centrebacks or playing on the last line with his back to goal.

I agree that Baka has never looked like a natural striker. From what I've seen of him when defending corners, he looks more like a natural central defender.

The annoying thing regarding Bakayoko is it’s in his locker to be a proper player, at Barnsley last season and against arguably the two best central defence partners in the division he was excellent, put himself about, bullied them even, a real handful for them. I thought at last we have a player here, but so far this season he’s offered nothing. We can’t carry passengers and expect to be there about in the promotion chase.

I’m sure there’s a nice Gardening forum you can join where the only subject on controversy is which colour Rose should be grown in a medium size flower bed

I dont like slating our players, we know they dont all ooze with skill but in Bakas case, because this thread is about him, he has the physical attibutes but not the apptitude to be better or so it seems. He is in a privileged position of being able to play pro football with an apparent transfer fee of 350k and i would guess a couple of grand or so a week so he needs to try and start earning it

Thought he was good first half, and on the left. Wasn’t even close to the worst player last night. Some people just need a boo boy.

Exactly shmeee. Never cease to be amazed by the need for a boo boy. And how excited some fans get when their latest boo boy 'fails to perform'. The most remarkable thing about Baka as the latest boy boo is that he's not even really featuring in our first team. Robins has already made that decision. Godden is the far better option for us. Putting the boot into a reserve team player must be a near first and seems counterproductive to me. I'll get back to gardening world and my roses. :emoji_yum:

Exactly what I said when he made his debut, just hasn't improved enough.

Thanks Bakayoko, it's nothing personal, but no thanks.
