If Bacunas not prem then I've no idea what level people think Newcastle's midfield were. Second best midfielder on the pitch yesterday behind Billing.

Thought he did ok and put in a good shift. No better than OK though. Quite tenacious but does have a bad mistake in him. He actually reminded me of Hogg when we first signed him and before he accepted his own passing limitations.

He actually reminded me of Hogg when we first signed him and before he accepted his own passing limitations. He played far better than okay. Direct with the ball, looking to get it forward and try to create momentum and be positive. Good in transition, good from dead balls as well. Looked to probe and penetrate in possession a couple of times with a little dribble. Often you want to see that the player fancies it, wants the ball and looks like they have the right mentality for it. And Bacuna clearly does relish the opportunity and the responsibility in the same way that Billing does. Just lots of people don’t see it in the same way that some idiots don’t see what Mooy does or Billing bring to the table.

Some of his passing was a bit over ambitious and against a better side might have cost us and he was lucky not to get caught on the ball in dangerous areas a couple of times too, which I always think is down to not being used to the pace of the english game. But for a first start at this level he did well. Don;t think he had a great game though- just ok, which like i say , for a first start is still impressive..

I think Bacuna and Sabiri both have that bit of a strutt about them you need and could be really strong players. Plenty to learn first of course. Real shame Sabiri got crocked. I can see Bacuna taking over the Hogg mantle in time and being even better than him.

I'm surprised how many fans on here thought he was poor. He played very well especially when you consider it was his first start. Looks like he could be a very good player to me and surprised he hasn't featured more

Looks like he could be a very good player to me and surprised he hasn't featured more People have moaned we are too conservative, yet when this lad makes his full league debut and tries to be a bit braver than say Hogg, people are immediately wanting him to take the safe option. Yeah, he's maybe overestimating his ability to hit/time a crossfield pass accurately, but if you want more forward passes, you have to accept more will go astray or get intercepted. Overall a promising debut, albeit has a strange way of getting around the pitch (not remotely as bad as Murray 'Audrey Roberts' Wallace though 😂).

Its his 1st full game amd he had to try and fill Mooys boots.We dont have anyone in the squad who can do that!!Mooy is a class player and we all know that but this kid showed a lot of potential and he can only get better,looks strong too.

I'm expecting to get slated after seeing some people's reactions to last night but I thought he was standout, he can make the odd mistake but he's 21.. He never backs out, looks like he could play two games back to back, picks a fucking superb pass (Diakhaby last night and the one that split the defence a few games ago). Tackles like Hogg & passes like Mooy, think he could become an important player for us.

Think he’ll be excellent in The Championship, assuming we manage to get the team performing with some confidence.

I saw a player in him last night. Made himself available and a lot of play went through him. He needs game time to improve with experience

Was getting lots of abuse from people by us. It's like some are desperate for the likes of him, Diakhaby and Mbenza to fail. It seems they now attribute our relegation to the signing of these players and will never be able to judge them fairly

I think he will turn out to be a very useful player next season for us.

Yes, I thought he did alright. He tried to do things. Was looking to make things happen. Wanted to pass early and get forward. As been said, yes he is still raw but by the time we are in the Championship next season, he could be mildly undercooked.

I have some major doubts, but I have also seen some really promising signs. His best game was Newcastle by a distance, where he was always trying forward passes, with a decent rate of success.
What seems to let him down is the odd really sloppy moment, he doesn't seem to cover the ground too well and is particularly slow off the mark.
At the same time, I really don't get how much shit he seems to be getting already. Were people expecting him to be immediately up to Billing or Mooy standards!? It especially grates me when the old farts behind me have a go at him, when for the last two years they have constantly taken the piss out of anyone sat around us for being negative. Bloody hypocrites!
If we didn't have the recent batch of injuries or change in manager, I'd have sent him out on loan to toughen up and learn at a more suitable level #MikeBassett 😂

Potentially Bacuna, Hogg,Sabiri,O’Brien and another to battle it out for two or three spots in the middle might be pretty decent next year. Definitely need to bring in some quality in front of them though!

Bloody hypocrites! What you have to remember is that it gets them out of the house and mixing with other people. As a community club it is something we should all embrace 😉

When that training video was released last week I couldn't help but imagine a lot of veins bulging out of ruddy necks with fury since practically every player had gloves on and the vast majority with snoods to boot. WHERE'S OUR PROPER FOOTBALL MEN?
