Bailey didn't celebrate any of Boro's goals last season against us. Just walked back which showed us some respect. He will get booed by some, I have no bad feelings towards him just hope he has a poor game Saturday
No time for the bloke. Not just saying it, but I wasn't a fan when he was playing for us, yes he scored a few goals and was probably our best player during his time with us, but that's not saying a lot given the dross we churned out.....(shelvey excluded). Given he's millwall now it's even more of an excuse for me to dislike him.

I really don't remember this many people piping up and saying they "wasn't a fan" of his when he was playing for us. He genuinely was a fan favorite, or at least it seemed.
Same with Semedo. Everybody singing their hearts out for him whilst he was here, and voting him player of the season. As soon as he left, there was a lot more negative appraisal of him.

Oasis in a desert at the time.
I'll applaud him, as I did when he came back with Middlesbrough, but I'd choose Jackson or Pritchard over him every time.

Not that it matters, but I can honestly say that I really wasn't a fan.
Bailey was our best player of that era, far better than the very limited Semedo. For all his faults, if we had more players like Bailey in our team, we wouldn't have gone down.
Just no booing him please. He will undoubtedly score if we do.
I'm pretty sure that's not how the world works.
Ordinarily I would give him a clap but it's a bit different now he's playing for Millwall. He did his best for us, and the Swindon penalty doesn't cancel out all his decent performances during the 2 seasons he was with us. I was never his biggest fan due to reasons others have mentioned but we wouldn't have finished 4th without his goals that season.
Millwall is a game that we need Yann Kermorgant for. Without a shadow of a doubt.
If anyone can mix it with Shittu it's him - that's a proper clash of the titans.
If Yann get's a spare minute I am sure he'll have a pop at Bailey too - just to rile him
I wouldn't be surprised to see Andy Hughes on the bench on Saturday for similar reasons. Just praying Kermo is fit and the rest of the lads are up for the battle.
I thought Bailey was respectful last season and i used to enjoy his efforts in a red shirt. Think he will be the villain on Saturday but is really best being ignored.
There was an incident at the Spanners v Derby game last week:
A Derby player was given "dogs abuse" as he was on loan to the Spanners from the Spuds last season.
The report claimed it was so bad, that Clough subbed him in order to quell the mood.
THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO TAKE THE MORAL HIGH GROUND.
Let's welcome our former skipper with a big cheer and show the watching world the difference between the two sets of supporters. Let's make it plain why "no one likes them" - because, in general, their attitude stinks.
Bailey may have been a bit of a diver, quick to leave us, and now a Spanner - but in the time he was with US, his dedication was never in doubt and he was not one of the "clean shorts" players that we had around that time.

Loved him for his effort, but hated him for his play acting.
Can see him and Morison causing us trouble.

Cue a blinder from him on Saturday now!

nah you're alright thanks.

I won't boo him though.
If our support doesn't convey that derby atmosphere, then don't expect the players to adjust their mentality.
However this is different, won't boo him but you can seem him playing up the part, just like he did for us down at Southend.
Affectionately known to Charlton fans as 'Bailey's comet'
