GrahamC Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Surely it can’t just be me that is completely infuriated by this bloke? As on Saturday he ambles around, fails to put in tackles (the penalty came directly because of this) & contributes far too little. No idea how fit Andy King is & after tonight I doubt we’ll see Joe Williams on Saturday, but he cannot start. Don’t get the Palmer love in, either. Did he actually touch the ball after he came on? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have to accept that we are going to struggle this season simply because too many of our players are inconsistent, excellent one game, anonymous in the next. Those are the players NP must replace, and I would suggest Bakinson, Palmer and COD, and probably Martin need improving on next season.

tin Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 He’s a stroller, and strollers only get away with it if they deliver the goods. He needs to pull his head out of his arse or be bombed out IMO. 12 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Journalist Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 He’ll be in League One this time next year without a significant mentality shift IMO. Which, by the way, would be a huge, huge waste of natural ability. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tin Soldier Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Bakinson = lazy ***. He won’t be here long term. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Ball watches too much out of possesion for me, he just doesn't seem swtiched on enough. Pedestrian attitude. Lovely one touch natural game but lacking too much to be first pick in this team under NP now. Here's hoping HNM is back soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollydog Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 When you’re as old as me you get a feeling about certain players. You just know that however talented they are that they won’t make it. I would love Bakinson to prove me wrong. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHeadDan Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I'm angry at him tonight but at the same time want to give him some slack. He's 22 and he has a very Pogba'esque style so I can understand why he infuriates. He will split fans and he needs to start being consistent or even the leaninent supporters will quickly turn on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo76 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 We have no consistent, quality offensive players and that is what will limit or season. All the reasons to be positive about City - Bentley, Atkinson, Tanner, James, Massengo, Williams - do little to get us goals. Investment needed in the final third if we are ever to achieve the top 6 promised land. Totally agree that Bakinson and Palmer (sometimes Wells) don't seem to have that 110% effort or at least not consistently. We need offensive players that will throw everything at it to win the match but with the required quality to do the job. Jed Wallace springs to mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams had cramp he’ll be fine. agree about Bakinson . Lazy on the ball & off it. Number of times first half he ambled back it’s a token jesture to stop a cross . He’d be out of the squad along with Palmer Saturday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo he looked so good at the start of last season but other than the odd game like Sheffield Wednesday away, he hasn't looked anything like that player since. Palmer & O’dowda we’re no better. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Bakinson is one of the only “Passenger” type players left at the club and the sooner he’s gone, the better. Nothing worse than seeing a player seemingly “shattered” and unable to track back/get goal side but suddenly seem to find their legs when attacking. You’ve got to be exceptional to get away with that, and he definitely isn’t exceptional. I can’t believe his team mates let him get away with it tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 A bit harsh to single out Bakinson alone. There was half a team of shite out there tonight Some truly awful performances. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_eastender Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Bakinson is capable of some good one touch passing when playing as an attacking midfielder, but defensively he is (and always has been) a liability. Add to that his languid style and just cannot see him making it as a regular above league one level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchay Red Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 (edited) No matter how good you are technically, and he isn't that good, there's no excuse for not putting the effort in. He needs to have a long hard look at HNM to see what skill and total effort/commitment is.

Said that about Palmer in my OP, he got voted MoM on Saturday, I know he scored the equaliser but **** me, I reckon he only touched the ball on one other occasion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiesaffer Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 He’s sloppy off the ball and doesn’t work hard enough with out either. Most will say only 22, how old is HMN? IMO, he’s got this season to work it out or he’s gone. It will be frustrating to see him fail at this level because he has the makings of a top player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richyy66 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 He was poor Saturday and poor tonight. He seems to have a laid back/lazy approach to the game. Needs to up his attitude on the pitch or ship him out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedNachos Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Languid style of play, not lazy. Similar to that of Eze at Palace. Sloppy, yes, but arrogant and lazy, calm down.

Quiet? He’s suppose to influence the game. 1 pathetic over hit cross. 1 pathetic dive. Zero effect on the game, as an impact sub. He isn’t the answer- he doesn’t offer us anything outside of 50 minutes every season. 24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought O'Dowda was quiet, not really fed the ball much. I thought Bakinson was a complete liability. But I guess if we had a decent strike force then it might have helped his and others performances. Main thing is though his defensive input which he has to do too much of in this side. You get the odd one off from both of them . Palmer got us the point Saturday but apart from that done nothing & the same tonight . It was a poor sub imo . King should of come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
