BOF Posted September 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 29, 2013 Also think his assist to KEA was very slick and covert, I know KEA looked offside which is arguable but the pass was very good. Safe to say that although the overall play in the first half wasn't very good from everybody including Bacuna, he pretty much won the game for us with his assist and goal.It really was a delicious assist. There's nothing arguable about the offside though. His foot is a yard off. Not that I give a toss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I give a toss Of course we see this from the replays, but I mean in the sense that it wasn't exactly a dubious decision. KEA moved pretty quickly and it isn't surprising the ref 'got it wrong.' As you say though, I don't give a toss either and it's about time that these decisions came our way rather than against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonVillian Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Got to be honest I was on of the first to slate this guy after the liverpool game. Great game against City - assist and Freekick were sheer quality - keep it up lad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Fair play LondonVillian. I'm glad Bacuna's showing some quality. Out of all of our signings, he was the one that was probably met with the least excitement, but he's looking decent. I'd personally like to see him in a central role at some point, because that is supposedly his natural/ best position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2013 I'm impressed with how the lad has bounced back after what was a dreadful debut. It shows a great mentality that it didn't rock him and a great belief in himself. He didn't even look like a footballer in the Liverpool game but he was so influential all over the pitch against Man City. Not just the goal and assist. He was dispossessing people and running rings around them in midfield too, despite playing as a right wingback and he also didn't go missing in his primary role. Lowton has a job on his hands getting back into the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 yes very very impressed with him the last two games and his set pieces and free kicks are a bonus. Pace and athletism are his strengths and his football will come on as he gets more games under his belt. Looks like a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted September 30, 2013 Groningen fans were scratching their heads when we signed him because he's the butt of their jokes. I do wonder how the hell Lambert spots talent even from under the noses of people who you'd think would know what they've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I still think he will make a better box to box midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Looks like Lambert has found another Gem. I see a lot of raw ability in Bacuna. He is very inconsistent but you can see that he can play. He is quick, strong and athletic. He has a great set piece and is comfortable running at a player. Finally, he has a great attitude - actually reminds a bit of Milner in the way he keeps going even if it isn't his day. All he needs is a manager to give him a chance and to give him that fire, motivation and belief. Lambert is that man. Bacuna will have his bad games but I think he will be a pretty important player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Could we finally have a decent set piece taker in Bacuna? I do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he has a lot of energy and he shown that against Spurs, but he also isn't afraid of shooting or getting into the box. Currently he is at RB, but against the lesser sides I'd like to see him in midfield pushing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Lowton has a job on his hands getting back into the side. True. I actually see Baccy as a great RB. He's a good athlete, great pace, and committed in the tackle. He's also decent when pressing forward. I'd like to think we can accomodate both Waccy Baccy and Lowton in the same side. I'd like to see Lowton get a run in central midfield, as I think he has good skills and awareness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
