Bit of a contradiction there methinks! He's different league to those three, that's a fact. Plus he has actually performed in this league at a very good level previously. People bemoaning the fact he didn't produce goals and assists in the premier league in that terrible team, half of the time under a terrible manager. Who the hell did? People have short memories, in most games, certainly under Wagner, Mooy and Pritchard looked the only players in our team who belonged on the same pitch as the opposition. Needs to deliver now though, he could play either wing or number 10 so could be a massive asset. Hows it a contradiction ? He played more games but wasn't anymore productive 🤔. In the PL he showed himself to be too small, too slow and too weak. As for producing it in the Championship, well so did Kachunga around the same time but he doesn't now. Ince produced at this level but doesn't anymore either. Times change, players do too. How can you say that a player who was picked and averaged a 6/7 every match whenever fit, many in the PL, produced as much as the three amigos who couldn't be arsed doing enough in training to even warrant being picked for the bench most weeks. It's total nonsense.

It's total nonsense. He averaged 6/7 ? Who from, you ? Kongolo did more than Pritchard anyway AND he played when he was injured. Diakhaby has more assists this season than Pritchard has in 2 years and Mbenza averages about the same amount of goals and assists a season as Pritchard has for us.

FFS - when we got promoted everybody with a bit of football knowledge knew our problem was going to be scoring goals. On that basis Wagner should have walked when he signed him. A hole that the Cowley's are still trying to dig us out of. It's fair to say he wasn't bought to score goals; he was bought to create goals and he failed at that. If you create chances that others fail to score, does that mean that you have failed to create chances?

Does anybody know when Pritchard plans on making himself available to play again? This season, next, several light years from now? It’s interesting that some of your options are in units of time and the other in units of distance.

But also from whoscored.com who give him a 6.5 for the PL season, marginally less than Mooy. Dont even compare Pritchard with Diakhaby and Mbenza, its just ridiculous. What's Kongolo got to do with it?

Even the bald magician was accused of slowing down play too much and being a big part if the problem. No; he was playing in a shit team with a shit coach against way superior opposition, that's why he wasn't curling them in from the edge of the box every other game or laying it on a plate for the strikers to get 20 a season.

Why can't I compare them, they all attacking midfielders, they cost similar amounts and they've all provided sod all. The only difference is we didn't know what to expect from Diakhaby and Mbenza, we knew what Pritchard could do, he just hasn't for us.

They reckon he’s the best player they’ve ever had. They couldn’t believe my views on him. Another dreadful waste of money. I drove to Cardiff ( so wasn’t the usual half cut ) and watched the players warm up. He could hardly reach the goal line from 20 yards when practicing shooting. It was embarrassing how bad he was

I saw Pricthard at Brentford against Town a few year's back and he took us apart we just couldn't cope with him. I was at that game and he was immense and apparently he was their best player on many games. We seem to have a habit at Town at not being able to get the best from a player! maybe the Cowleys can do their magic on him, because there is a very good player there. No doubt the anti Pritchard mob will disagree.

But I'm basing him being a good player ostensibly from when I've seen him for other clubs

What's Kongolo got to do with it? According to whoscored he was 3 places below Mooy for us in 7th. Second season he was 9th for us. It also shows on there that in 3750 minutes for us he's scored 3 goals and made 1 assist. The equivalent of a goal every 14 games and an assist every 42 games. He's a number 10 ffs he's supporting the striker and he's supposed to be the main creator. Jonas Lossl has twice as many assists as Pritchard so let's not bang on about the fact others can't finish because you could actually make a team of players who have more assists than Pritchard since he came.

Maybe there are mitigating factors, but I haven't seen others having these excuses made for them, whilst they have generally got much more shit at the same time. I'm sure any sane fan will be delighted if he turns it around.

I'm sure any sane fan will be delighted if he turns it around. There's degrees of shitness, he's nowhere near Diakbenza and Sobhi levels of shitness as a player or in attitude, and nowhere near Kongolo in attitude. He did OK in the PL playing in a terrible team. He's barely played in the championship, a league he has excelled in previously, due to a long standing injury. Think what you like about the injury but he has obviously had pain in his knee and been unable to play. None of us know if he could have, maybe now he's been given the green light psychologically he will be able to play through it. If he plays every game from now on and doesn't produce then that will be the time to give him shit. Tom Cairney didnt exactly pull up any trees playing in a crap Fulham team last season, is he shit too?
