Does Pritchard do enough at this level?

If people watched the game in the way you’re describing they would have very different opinions on certain players.
Dele Alli was a prime example.

I'm sure he'd love to add more goals but his role in the team has changed massively since we lost Stewart. He's our creator and terrier; going forward he links up the play and defensively doesn't give the opponents time to play their game. For a guy of his size he's not shy in putting it about & I think he's doing a great job as our "water carrier". We need intelligence out there as well as attacking talent.
I think it showed when he was out of the team v Cardiff how crucial he is to the high press. Between him and Stewart is where the intensity of the press is usually dictated. Evans is also a crucial component to this once the first line is broken
While goals and assists are obviously important stats, people focus on these too much in some instances. Look at some of the greats over the years - Drogba, Scholes, Giggs etc. Their stats sometimes look quite poor compared to arguably lesser players these days

Think we need more end product especially when our CMS get very little goals

This, was suicidal for Mowbray to drop/rest them both against Cardiff & both were instrumental in our win once restored at Birmingham. I think as someone else said he'll be disappointed in himself that he hasn't contributed to more goals but i can't think of many, if any games this season where he hasn't looked one of the better players on the pitch, opposition included.

We do, but Simms is looking ok and Diallio looking like a real talent. I'd keep Pritch where he is and the goals will come, the new players are starting to gel.

100%. The people who actually want him dropped blow me away. If you can’t see what he brings to the team then I give up.

Simms will only get odd 20 minutes when Stewart is back unless we go back to 3 cb formation
They wouldnt want him dropping if he was called Pritchinho

Sounds like his xA stats would be amazing!
For me 3cbs is the way to go

He could add more goals and assists to his game. There is room for improvement there but it's not all about that. He sets our press, intensity and tempo with his work rate. And while it's not always him making the final pass and getting the assist on the stats he plays a crucial role in the build up to the majority of our good attacking play. He's a massive miss when he isn't in the side, Cardiff game proved that.

Never won an aerial duel, not for me.Haven't fact checked this, don't even now how I would, but these statistics make for good reading on his performance level this season.
