Smith Rowe on the right, KG on the left, Pritchard at number 10 is the one DC will want to try at some point I think Brilliant! So lets play Smith-Rowe out of position to accommodate Pritchard? That is not out of position for him at all. He plays either side or down the middle. Some of his best work has been coming off the right, see Fulham away. And no, it's not just to 'accommodate Pritchard', it's because we have zero creativity from the right hand side and need a change there...

Kachunga has more assists this season than Pritchard has had in two years.

it's annoying really because every time I saw Pritchard on the TV, playing for Norwich, he looked good and I was pleased when we bought him. He was sharp, quick...could shoot and scored goals...when he came to Town though I was almost immediately disappointed with what I saw..he seemed weak, and ran round in circles a lot, hardly ever got anywhere near the goals to have a shot ...he did have better games, but most games he seemed stifled, and easily knocked off the ball...not a great tackler either. This may have been the job Town gave him to do, which didn't suit him. It's fair to say he has never reached the levels with Town that I saw at Norwich. Whatever we did he hasn't progressed or improved as a player and with just a year to go on his contract we'll probably sell him in summer and lose another load of money on a player we paid top dollar for but were short changed...

You'd have thought Ronaldo was coming back with the way everyone is going on about him on here. Three goals and two assists in two years is pathetic for a 13 million pound player. Elias Kachunga, who I am no fan of, has five assists this season and someone is suggesting we move Smith-Rowe out of position and drop Kachunga to accommodate Pritchard who hasn't had an assist since 2018? Baffling.

A fit Pritchard will be a huge asset to this team, presumably you're aware of the fact he can play on the wing, as can ESR, also you're aware ESR is a very young lad and wont be played for 90 mins every game. I guess form your comments you're happy with what we have available in the front three positions, so happy in fact you're not interested in seeing what a £13M proven championship quality AM can add. Baffling. I'm also looking forward to bringing big Col back into the fold, another useful option on the right from the bench in an area where we're not exactly blessed.

I've no interest in seeing what a 13 million quid waste of money adds to the side because I'd rather see what talents such as Smith-Rowe and O'Brien can do instead, they've done nothing wrong so why should they be dropped for Pritchard? And you're on your own with the Quaner thing, he should be nowhere near the side either, we haven't exactly missed him have we? I don't rate Kachunga but I'll bet you now that Pritchard and Quaner won't equal or beat that record of 5 assists between them, let alone individually.

No one will be dropped, he'll be another option and a player that needs to earn his place in the team or on the bench, same as big Col who I would be happy to see coming on late in the game as another option down the right. Also a good character and pro. Assists aren't the be all and end all, it is possible to positively influence the games without registering one you know.

Maybe they aren't, but isn't he there to create chances and goals and also chip in with a few goals himself? He hasn't done that, he's been very poor and that's what I'm basing my opinion. I want him to come back and prove me wrong but he won't.

Lets just see what the Pritchard-bashers say if/when he returns and has a good game. Give the guy a chance . He was no worse than the other players during our dire start to the season.

Exactly, amazing how many posters on here can’t see further than quoting his stats for goals and assists rather than his skills and potential. Aaron Mooy on the other hand is the greatest thing since penny arrows but when you check out his goals and assists, in a lot more appearances, he didn’t do that much better did he!

Pritchard is a number 10, of course he should be judged on goals and assists. The fact he's got less assists than our keeper is absolutely embarrassing for someone who is supposed to, in his position, be our most creative player. Potential? What are you on about? He had potential, he's not a kid coming through and he hasn't performed for years now. I haven't seen these skills either unless spinning in circles 20 yards out until he loses it is a skill I've not seen much else. Set pieces have been poor, doesn't get nearly enough shots away and doesn't create anything. For a number 10 what useful skills has he shown us?

Most aren't self-obsessed idiots, so will be delighted if Pritchard comes back in and does well, even if they think he has been shite to date.

Are you seriously trying to compare Mooy and Pritchard? You're Hamering on the wrong door there in my opinion Do you have some difficulty in reading and understanding English? The point I am making is that posters on here are judging Pritchard on his goals and assists stats. Let me repeat myself, Mooy’s stats for goals and assists, in a lot more matches,i.e with a lot more opportunity, ain’t that much better! Ok?

I think Pritchard will go okay from here on in. Am keen to see what he can do under DC with a longer uninjured run.
I just feel he will come right
