We are getting weekly mistakes from Young and probably Coleman when he's back due to their age and on a decline.
With Patterson i feel only playing him will make him better, yes there will be mistakes but it will improve him i believe, plus now Tarks has moved to the right side of the defence that can only help him also with his positioning.
I think he creates more space for the wingers (Harrison) because he will overlap which helps the team.
I know there is a binary agreement about Paterson and people are entrenched mate - but i genuinely want whats best for his development - because next season he needs to be our starting right full, if not we are dropping 10-20 million on a new one. Id prefer not to do that.
He has very few senior games comparative to his age and at this stage i think he needs to be playing week in week out and cut the edges out of his game. Hes a player i can see the potential in and his best run for us, came when he could build momentum.
Your right he has mistakes in him now, we arent in a position in the table or in games were the margins between 3 points and 0 - give us the luxary of that - especially with alternatives - rightly or wrongly depending on your opinion - real world Dyche is going to play Nathan, ahead of Young and Coleman - so pragmatically we have to do what is best for his development and ours ahead of next season - thats mission critical.
All that being true, i want to see the lad out on loan playing week in, week out - he and we need it. I dont want to sleep walk into next season with Nathan not having a chance to build up experience and play week in and week out. Id like a loan to do for him, what it did for
Branthwaite.
