    What do you think ...

    ... I think he's our best signing so far weighing everything up.

    Think the lad is quality. Proper footballing brain and just looks like he loves being on the park.

    Top signing.

    Although he plays in the number 10 role like Pritchard, he offers a different option. Pritchard does some great passes, closes people down and gets us on the front foot, Dack does that but I don't think he's as affective as Pritch but he offers more of a goal threat like today shows. He's been a good signing I think

    Ok. Not as good as Pritchard. Not even close.

    same as i always do, will give him the 'standard' 10 games before i give an updated view but so far he is living up to what i thought, covers more of the pitch than pritch and just keeps the ball moving or creates space for others, likes to get himself into the box and will score a few...pritch is a slightly different player but he is basically the man people are using to guage dack but both bring plenty to the table and whichever one starts we know there is a lad who can swap with him and create chances.

    A different player and threat to Pritchard.

    Clever runs, passing, can drop deep and a goal threat, been impressed so far

    What is it with people and Pritchard man haha.

    Listen I like Pritch he’s a tidy player and often has a bit of impact. He’s also often invisible and blowing out of his arse.

    Dack has linked better with players, he’s better edge of box and he’s far more likely to score.

    I repeat, fan of Pritch but why do some make out he’s ****ing Jairzinho reincarnated?

    Dack will contribute way more over a season than Pritch. I’m absolutely certain if that.

    Nobody came to buy him, right?

    Not sure. Just people giving an opinion.

    Mate, it’s a genuine question.

    He is a decent player and I like the lad, just seems like so much circles back to him.

    He’s been canny, nothing more. He’s never lit it up.

    It just baffles me. For me he’s a squad player.

    Looks very good so far, still probs not fully fit either. Looks to be a class signing.

    Don't know. Just people who I trust and myself see him heads and shoulders above others.

    Who is he head and shoulders above like? Genuine question.

    He’s not first 11 and rightly so in my eyes. Great player to have around off the bench.

    He’s never cemented a place and that includes the League One years so I just don’t see it. This isn’t me looking for a squabble or owt but I just don’t see it.

    Top class substitute for sure.

    I'm still Pritch ahead of Dack but early days.

    Personally think he's been ok nothing flash. His biggest contribution was that pass to Jobe for his 2nd against rotherham.

    Think Pritchard looks busier and seems to be more involved. He is also good with the young ones.

    Got nowt against Dack I've seen him live twice in the last 2 home games so not gonna base an opinion of him yet. I also don't think he's properly match fit yet either.

    For now I prefer Pritch but I'm open to changing my mind in the future.

    I think Pritchard is better but he cant do longer than 65 minutes.

    Whereas hopefully Dack can

    I wouldn't say I'm one ahead of the other, I think they offer different aspects of the same role. At the moment, Dack deserves the start and Pritchard coming on as sub for him suits us as he presses tiring defenders and make things happen. There will probably times when the roles are reversed but at the minute I wouldn't change it

    to me it all depends what he's like when he's fully match fit, he missed all of pre season and still think he looks a little unfit , but one thing is for sure if we get the player he was before his injuries we'll have one of the best players in the league, with Pritchard
    he's looks much better coming off the bench then when he starts games

    He looks like he could do with a hair cut and about a stone too heavy, but on first impressions, he can have a gold coin.

    Dack tracks back and defends in and around our box.
    Pritch looks good on the eye sometimes but didnt even contribute half of what Dack did today
