Bakinson 07:42 - Apr 20 with 2461 views | FrimleyBlue | What is everyone's opinion here. He's quite a frustrating watch. Reminds me of Andre Dozzell with the number of freekicks he gives away near our box and misplaced passes. But he then can turn the tempo up with a very quick change of direction and directive passing and some of his hard hitting longer range passing does get us up the pitch. I think I'd keep him and let Caroll go. I don't see Bakinson and Morsy as a weekly partnership though as they are very similar in certain aspects of their play. What would you do with his transfer option? |  |

Bakinson on 15:34 - Apr 20 with 483 views | dezb | Depends on the fee. I think we could do better. He's a decent league 1 midfielder who's developed a pretty good partnership with morsy. Back up to Evans though for me and for a fee that may not be the right thing to do. Agree hes a frustrating watch as at times he can dominate the game but he also has periods in games where his passes lose tempo (seems to sell a centre back short at least once a game) and he loses it in dangerous areas etc. |  | |  |
Bakinson on 15:39 - Apr 20 with 466 views | pointofblue | I like him but at best he should be our second reserve next season behind Morsy, Evans and another new signing who will battle with Evans for the second starting spot and perhaps give us a different dynamic. How much will we be willing to spend on a second reserve? |  |

Bakinson on 10:41 - Apr 20 by urbanblue | Everyone seems to have forgotten about Harper on this thread. I still have hopes for him ... |
I don't i am afraid. All I remember about him is the sideways passing. |  | |  |

Bakinson on 09:14 - Apr 20 by Illinoisblue | Physically weak. He gets knocked off the ball far too easily. Like to see El Mizouni have a chance in there. |
He's no better than El Miz... |  | |  |

Bakinson on 08:04 - Apr 20 by Sparky85 | I would keep him. He did a lot well last night. Quite a few interceptions and tackles, plus having him in the holding position allows Morsy to push further forward. Still has a bit to learn and you are right with what you mention about FK's he gives away. But I honestly thought he had a good game. Morsy, Evans, Bakinson, +1 and El Miz fighting it out for the 2 CM spots. However I wouldn't mind if we didn't strengthen here. More urgent issues to address |
Bakinson is the level Harper needs to get to! |  | |  |

I am sure this is something that the strength and conditioning people could work on. And to be honest, Evans isn't that strong in the tackle either, from recollection. [Post edited 21 Apr 2022 12:45]
