MarzM 1,247 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I think Bacuna is going to struggle a bit. He's had no pre-season. Still looks fitter than Alfie right enough! JograBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,783 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 His Youtube vid was one of the most impressive of any of our signings in recent years, if the coaching staff can get that out of him consistently we'll have some player.

Popular Post bluenoz 30,689 Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 For too long, we have had too many defensive midfielders in the team at the same time. Bacuna offers something different with flair and is offensive minded. Steve Davis (great player) doesn't score that goal today. And that tackle he made puts away any myth that he is lazy or can't defend. Malkytfp1, GA1972, MillwallLoyal and 6 others 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them with Bacuna in the midfield would do nicely. 2 DMs in SPL is too much. bluenoz and Bearsden bear 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed full of trickery to me and nearly scored... Looks like a you David Haye 🤣 as for his contribution, at least he tries things. You can see him always looking for the killer pass or the one two on the edge of the box to get a shot off. time will tell if he amounts to anything but he looks kinda promising at this early stage.

AGM_72 3,614 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Not convinced yet but credit where it's due, played well today and scored a good goal. International break probably comes at a bad time for him, most likely end up on the subs bench for the next game when he could do with a run.

BlueSuedeSambas 53,754 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 He’ll be a streaky player who plays in spurts for us. Players who have flair and creativity like he does usually are. Some games he’ll look class, other games he’ll be a passenger. TheKingObv, Jimfanciesthedude and WestCoastGer 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 64,472 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Really good but I do wonder how often he'll be given the freedom he was today, it's rare we allow any of our midfield 3 the license to be as creative as he was Jimfanciesthedude 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman 211 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 First touch wasn’t great and gave the ball away easy at times - however I thought he was promising - looks inventive and always looking for forward pass and quite skilful - needs minutes under his belt.

We are too one dimensional at times and he offers something different. That said he needs to play regularly to get the most out of him.

The Archer 1,089 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The lad needs half a season of consistent games to gel with the team and show how good he is, 30 mins here and there is not the way to judge a player and it goes for Simpson too Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkytfp1 18,579 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 A midfielder who is attacking minded, who passes forward and isn't scared to run into spaces in and around the box. Was very decent today. If you listen to some on here, he was a waste of money after a bad cross, but then again he was written off after a handful of cameos. Embarrassing. Agree with what people are saying, probably doesn't have the defensive work rate for European games and old firms etc but will be useful for games such as today They Gnu, bluenoz, geneva_ger and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
