For whatever reason, he is the one player who hasn't raised his game for Corberan.

Ok you're entitled to your opinion.. I felt Pritchard did pretty well against Forest. I found Bacuna disappointing though I know some folk who thought he did well. I thought he was piss poor yesterday though granted I didn't watch the full 90 I watched the full game and Bacuna was very poor. Re Pritchard , I totally agree that he’s not delivered but maybe he’s now responding to the new coach?? The amount of injuries we are getting though there is never any chance of continuity. Responding ? He's still as shit as he's ever been for us. He ran about a lot against Forest, gave the ball away every time and didn't create anything. He's too small too slow and too weak

Yesterday he was very poor. I had the same opinion about his flicks and tricks that constantly gave the possession away.
I still think he is our most talented player. He played well against Forrest in a more conservative role. He was pushed further forward yesterday and started attempting the FIFA tricks and flopped.

All I've seen is the 15 min Sky highlights. I'm going on what Bacuna has given Town over the previous 2 seasons against what Pritchard has given Town over 3 seasons Thing is it's about the here and now In which case we need an attacking midfielder, it's not Eitings role, Bacca isn't producing, Pritchard isn't good enough and O'Brien can't play there

I'm going on what Bacuna has given Town over the previous 2 seasons against what Pritchard has given Town over 3 seasons Forgetting Pritchard and just concentrating on Bacuna the Examiner article is fair. Bacuna is a player with a lot of natural talent but he does not fully focus on the task. It just seems like a bit of a breeze for him when we need players who are 100% committed. I find it so disappointing when we have a player who could do so well who just does not look like he will ever play to the standard required. Can we afford to carry someone like that? I don't think we can. As much as I like the lad he either needs to click into gear or I am pretty sure he will get dropped.

He's had too many chances. Last season we got glimpses of talent but that seems to have now gone. A player that thinks he's far better then he is and a luxury we don't need.
Get rid.

I like him but it’s hard not to agree with some of the points made.
I think unfortunately it’s going to be a case of he goes somewhere in Europe and really kicks on and we’ll be left be saying I told you so to one another.
The problem is he doesn’t really excel in any position, he’s a liability playing deep, not quick enough outwide, he’s not a full back as previously tried.
So what is he? I agree with a point made earlier in the thread the scrutiny from chicken is harsh and is something you’d expect maybe 15/20 games into the season so let’s see how it pans out, I’m very much a fan of Bacuna but let’s hope he kicks on.

The flip side of this is that he's still only 23. Not exactly a kid, but hardly a veteran either!
He does need to kick on this season though, whether here or elsewhere. Question is, whether a poor season this time would mean he lost the "talented youngster" tag & his value drops. Rumours of Rangers being interested. If the fee was right it wouldn't be a bad move all round imo.

Totally unreliable, even more so than last season which takes some doing. Best place for him is the bench, or another club. I'm surprised Carlos has persevered tbh.

This lad is a bit of an enigma. He was superb just after the Cowleys came in and he had some great games off the bench, scoring some great goals. When O'Brien comes back I dare say he will be back on the bench again which could give him time to reflect about how he can produce that form.

Rangers would be a good move for him. He can twat about and lose the ball all he wants, and 95% of the teams won't punish them for it.

A midfielder with no tackles or headers won and no interceptions in a match. That’s pathetic.

Pitiful really, but I suppose we did have a big chunk of the possession so there wouldn't be as many opportunities to defend. Opta don't get those stats wrong, they're verified by at least two people watching the full 90 minutes action on at least two separate occasions.

Rangers look set to land a midfielder Bongani Zuniga, from Amiens, so we are stuck with him by the looks.

What an enigma Bacuna is, undoubted talent, vision & ability.... but he's no use to us if he plays like he has this season. If a decent offer is on the table, I'd be seriously considering it.... but not if it's a poor offer, I'd rather keep him.

I think he is enigmatic but does have the ability to change a game in a moment, however he doesnt affect a game often enough. Sometimes a genius, sometimes, and sadly, a poor decision maker. I'd describe him as brainless but we know he can do some magic.
