DCJonah Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Gutted about that. I was hoping for a positive approach from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 This is his chance, this season. If he is as good as he thinks he is then he should dominate in this league. I have no evidence for this but I reckon his mates must be absolute rocket polishers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Should be on the pitch. Disappointed with RDM over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blunther Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I just don't get the fuss. Came on, took two woeful corners, jogged about a bit like he was the most talented player on the pitch. If that's the new, head down, Mr Commitment Jack Grealish then I don't see the point. He had a great game 15 months ago at Wembley, good for him, but he's as ineffective as any of the other losers from last season. Not it a flash decision from 15 minutes of one game. He's not going to have changed dramatically from last season. I'm sure he's got talented feet, but that's not enough. Might be be a decent option for certain types of games, but a saviour and future great he ain't. Hope he proves me wrong, but I ain't holding my breath. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 He adds something we clearly lack and I'd give him the chance in the starting 11. Clearly has a lot to prove thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyavfc Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I thought he made an impact when coming on. He's so comfortable with the ball it's a joy to watch which can't be said for a lot of our players. Really think he should have started today, we had all those attacking players but lacked creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 When you consider how overrun we were in the first half, with 30% possession, I think you can see why we didn't start him today. Two home games against weak opponents next, I think he should get a lot more minutes in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's good at keeping the ball, in fact he was even holding the ball up when we he came on yesterday. I thought he looked bright, I think he can be one of the best players in this league. Would like to see him start the next league game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbop Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Bacuna starting over Grealish is a joke decision for me. Bacuna likes to think he's a big lad but he definitely isn't. He's awful at trapping the ball with his right foot never mind his left. When Jack came on at least when the ball went to him you knew he'd only lose it if he got crowded out, not because he couldn't control it like half our team (Hutton, Bacuna, Cissokho, Gestede), he needs to be playing from now on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MellbergsBeard Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think Rdm made the right decision not to start him yesterday, we will be playing against teams that will want to beat us (Wednesday, Derby & Newcastle etc.) and teams that will sit back it against us. I believe it makes sense to have different players for different games and not start the same 11 every 4 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted August 8, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2016 Its the first game of the season away from home at one of the favorites. Cant blame RDM for going a bit defensive. Id say the home games is where we will see him introduced from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more creativity at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
