I sense that some people are desperate for there to be a problem behind the scenes with him when in reality there most probably isn't.
Exactly this. Certain sections of the fan base have a view about him, and will try and look and twist every detail of his performance to fit that view.
Like how his performance in the first half of the Swansea game, because he is not interested or is trying to not get injured, was the reason why they were cutting our midfield apart and him going off was the reason we were better the second.
Where in reality I think, as lots of managers tend to do these days, Bowyer would have changed the formation for the second half and Davison would have gone off for the extra midfielder ahead of a fully fit Taylor.
Indeed I would be quite interested to see the first half stats to see out of our two strikers who covered more ground, made more passes etc because I felt like Taylor was the better of the two up top.
That being said Davison was very good in the second half which is encouraging.
Play amateur football so comparison you could take as meaningless if you like. But a thigh strain is one the worst to get rid of even if minor, requires so much rest, and they reoccur even with a slightly premature return, could easily be a month or so this unfortunately..

Silver lining but perhaps other clubs won't bid for him if he's injured for a while?
FA has hit the nail on the head, he is coming back from an injury and with a busy schedule its harder to recover let alone from a injury which laid him off for months. Personally I felt he did as much as he could the first half against Swansea, held up the ball when he got it, which was not a lot. People on here/ social media seem to have a vendetta, until he is leaves this is all just fabricated. Hopefully it hasn't set him back too much following last night and playing a bit recently (whilst still not over his injury), always 100% committed for me on the pitch against Derby and Swansea I haven't seen anything.
Why all the negative comments Hes probably frustrated in himself that's hes not 100% fit But I thought I read before that the 1st thing the new owners wanted to do was give bowyer and Taylor new contracts so I will talk their word on it for now

Problem there is we’re still a good forward light, least if he’s sold now we will replace. Not that I want that scenario.

True but had hoped with the takeover we'd bring in enough strikers whether he's sold or not.
I got to meet him boxing day as my son walked out with him as a mascot, nicest bloke we met, sincerely hope he stays as his a great player and there does seem to be a small minority keen on pushing the taylor wants out movement, not the impression I got from chatting to him

Doesn’t really make a difference to us if he isn’t playing and isn’t signing a new contract
be gutted if he goes - a proven centre forward at the top of his game - like gold dust - be a real blow if we can't keep him - i don't know either way but if i had to guess, i'd say he'll stay. Be a massive indicator of what we can expect from the ESI regime.

Just imagine how controlling and spiteful some people are towards their partners when they act like this over footballers.

Well it does if he's out for say 6 weeks. Might be enough to put buyers off and then he plays the remainder of the season for us.

Crazy isn't it, people go way overboard even for the ones who have done so well for us. Fickle supporters? Just read a tweet and someone is saying how Gallagher has dipped, I really should just ignore them sometimes as they obviously are short-sighted and don't have that much football knowledge IMO

Well, this will be key then. If they are true to their word (and I can't see why they wont be) AND Bowyer signs a new contract promptly then no reason why Taylor wouldn't do the same.
If LB signs one next week & we hear nothing about Taylor doing likewise then that sends a big signal imo.
Taylor has to see what's in offer from us and others.If it's close he stays ,if it's a wide gap in favour of the "other" he either uses it to barter or he leaves.

I think Gallaghers form has dipped but not surprising given the amount of games he’s played and the quality of players around him having dropped

And he must be carrying injuries with all the punishment he has received lately
Personally I thought he was heading for a booking/sending off with his play given the general tone of the game anyway. He is at times just too hands on with the opposition and he seemed to be a little too obvious for me in the Swansea game as he gets back to full match speed.
If he does go can't see it being Brentford, their current 2 strikers have got 27 between them so he would arguably be third choice plus they just got another striker yesterday, I think his new injury means no one will come in for him and he will stay till the end of the season, will be offered a new deal and once it becomes clear what ESI'S ambitions are for next season will determine if Lyle signs.

I think by the end of this season he will go to L1 or retire.

Don’t be stupid.
OK I'll try not to be. Why do you think an out of contract 30 yr old with a bad injury record and only a couple months championship experience will be seen as a good deal by anyone above L1?

As our former esteemed owner Roland used to say... Huh?

I'm not sure we could sell him now if we wanted to.
