I was trying to think of who the youth player was a few years back who was touted as a bit of a Jack Grealish. I remember him playing in a cup game with his big stupid hair and gave away a totally unnecessary free kick in a dangerous area, got a bit of stick from the crowd and when the hubbub died down I shouted at the top of my voice "and get your hair cut" Got some weird looks from people sat around me but his buffont had really offended me for some reason. Anyway I came on here to find out what happened to him. It may have been Chris Heard but a quick Google of his old pictures don't reveal the barnet I was thinking of. EDIT I think it was, in a sudden flash of inspiration I thought is was against Tranmere and indeed Chris Heard did play in a cup game v Tranmere in 2012.

rodders0223 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Quote Bacuna's range of passing was the standard of a child How many more times is Bacuna going to give it away cheaply. Bacuna - didn't realise he was playing.

Bacuna's range of passing was the standard of a child, but he battled hard and won the ball back well. He is so obviously a confidence player. http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/search.php?keywords=bacuna Quote Leandro Bacuna: 6 Some sloppy moments on the ball, but energetic and hard-working off it. https://thetilehurstend.sbnation.com/2018/8/22/17770266/blackburn-rovers-vs-reading-fc-player-ratings-royals-ewood-park Quote Bacuna 6 - Produced a lovely chip over the Rovers defence for the assist which Bodvarsson latched onto for the first goal. Lost possession though several times by lingering on the ball for too long. Better in the second half. https://www.football.london/reading-fc/reading-fc-player-ratings-bodvarsson-15061531 Quote Bacuna was frustrating today but at least he drives forward with intent. Tries to make things happen in the opposition third. Bacuna and Swift did well against Brum and that performance is all we have to hold onto this season so far. Swift and Bacuna actually dominated the midfield. Couple of dodgy passes each but they looked fit, strong and aggressive. Thought that was the best I’d seen our midfield for ages. Swift tracked back nicely a number of times and ran his backside off. Bacuna played nicely alongside him and they looked strong and athletic. It wasn’t perfect but it was better. Never understand why people write players off. Villa fans were laughing at us about Bacuna, and he is probably our most technically gifted footballer. http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/search.php?keywords=bacuna Edited August 24, 2018 by Michael118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael118 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Quote Bacuna 6 - A lively display from the midfielder in attack and defence. Produced the corner for Moore's header. Distribution not too bad from set-pieces but passing rather erratic. Kept going until the end. https://www.football.london/reading-fc/aluko-meyler-awful-yiadom-bright-15099446 Quote Bacuna 7: One of our better players, but surrounded in midfield with c**p. Bacuna can be good sometimes but is quite inconsistent Bacuna is fine. Good delivery on the corner for Moore's goal. Keep him on corners and wide free kicks. Credit to Bacuna today who I thought was excellent on the whole Centre mid is a bit of a concern as Kelly has gone backwards but Bacuna is a decent player if he gets his head together Bacuna would be good in a Brian team. The rest of our hapless midfield is letting him down. Zip, here’s a question. If we got Warnock, how do you reckon he’d change the team player and formation wise? Frankly he would want all our central midfielders out of the door. He wants workers not shirkers. I suppose Bacuna might stand a chance. That’s about it though. http://hobnob.royals.org/forum/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=bacuna Edited September 6, 2018 by Michael118 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
