2021/22 Nathan Patterson

[Goat]

An 18 year old RW?

I'd rather put Patterson in.

Patterson has something - I have never doubted that. But he's a bit too attack oriented. We need the attack/defence balance in FBs...preferably erring on the defensive side.

Heres dave implying that modern full backs need to defend.

Seamie is with the Irish squad at the moment dogging it out, hope he get a break, he needs it.

Thank goodness the RoI didn't qualify for the WC from an Everton perspective.

You can always rely on us for that! lol

lol

Defend? Perish the thought.

That lad plays so far up the pitch it's untrue.

He's a winger by all sensible reasoning.

….Tommy Wright & Ray Wilson were wingers at that age. John Hurst played as a striker in an FA Youth Cup winning team, Tony Hibbert in central midfield.

Wingers have the quality in possession, natural pace and mobility to convert. I agree it’s a long shot with Mills, but worth watching him next season with an eye to the future. The young U23 LB looks a real prospect if we can keep hold of him.

I look forward to watching the lad play at some point.

What are you even doing awake at this time? Your coffin getting a refit?

Mate im halfway through the week of my nightmares.

Pretty much on Grandad duty all week, so did the School run this morning, got him all weekend on my own and death seems a great option at this point.

Goat Jr still going the match with you mate or has he comes to his senses and decided he'd rather not waste his teen years hating life every other weekend?

I’m sure he won’t just ignore tactical instructions and just go and chill on the edge of the opposition’s penalty area. Maybe you’ve seen him play at wing back under specific tactical instructions before.

Seamus dogging ...who'd have thought
