2023/24 Nathan Patterson

[SJB]

Oh I mean we both know that’s all fabricated but no, I don’t anymore, I gave away my ST when Benitez was hired.

What a peculiar thing to think.

Didn't go often under Benitez myself, couldn't stand the sight of him on our touchline.

This thread is the world’s most wank debate club.

If you’re playing wank debate bingo at home in the last few pages we’ve had
“No you provide the facts for my point”
“Correlation does equal causation”
“Saying things doesn’t matter”

It’s actually amazing

I think most objective judges of the game can see the inexperience mate, he needs time and space to develop at a less punishing level, I don’t think he’s getting game time here which he desperately needs.

He needs time and space to make the mistakes he’s making at a less punishing level.

Anything else isn’t helping the lad.

Look at those two pathetic attempts to defend for the first two goals today. WTF is he doing there other than falling asleep.

Is he coached to fall asleep and switch off like that? It's a terrible flaw in his game and that's why I have no hesitation in saying he is never a defender. You cant 'develop' a sense of urgency if he's so laid back as an individual. That lack of awareness of danger on his side of the goal has dogged him since he arrived.

Anyone here making excuses for those two opening goals of Wolves are having a laugh. The lad is not up to defending in this league and never will be.

Thanks for reminding me to take some imodium before I go to bed Dave.

Honest question. Was this lack of urgency present when he was holding his own directly up against Son & Grealish in the previous two games?

It’s just hard to quantify….almost like it’s a nebulous concept that could be twisted by a scamp on the internet.

The nonsense spoken about those two performances. You'd think he was first rate in them. He held his own. His job is to do at least that much.

The low bar this feller has to jump for some continues to be astounding.

Held his own against two of the best players in the league as direct opponents.

I was getting worried about you for a bit but you are ok.

He wasn’t at the standard expected today but nor were most of the others.

 

[SJB]

Wage thief who the club gambled on being the next Tierney or Robertson. Lumbered with this clown's salary, or a proportion of it, for a good few years yet.

Low bar holding his own against 2 of the best wingers in Europe? Dave are you ok?

 

[Moomin]

I’d not bother mate.

For whatever reason, a small group of what I assume are middle aged men, are desperate to blame and write a load of hate towards a 22 year old young lad that they have never met rather than support him. It’s bizarre and kind of sad but I assume they get some sort of kick from it.

Yet it is ok to slag Ashley Young off at every chance?

If it's fair game to slate Young it's also fair game to slate Patterson as well.

Why aren’t you having a go in the tarkowski thread about him falling asleep?

I mean, he literally looks and see Cunha, he is ballside and goalside of him yet, he also doesn’t get there. And when the move started, he was already marking Cunha.

You also aren’t having a go at Keane who did nothing either.

The goal doesn’t fall on one person. It is a combination of failures by players. But for some reason, you only blame one. I’m not saying Patterson couldn’t have done more, but Tarkowski was literally marking the player who scored.

Huge difference between saying a 39yr old player who has had an excellent career can’t cut it physically anymore & saying we should bin off a 22yr old player who is clearly learning & improving in difficult circumstances.

Young has a part to play. But he looks much better further forward and he shouldn’t be starting every game. He has made lots of mistakes at the back which have directly cost us goals.

Same way I was calling for Patterson to play further forward earlier in the season.
They have both been far from good enough.
But if one of them is going to start at RB ever game, I’d much prefer it was Patterson who is young enough to learn and develop.

I'd have neither. Young is too old and Patterson isn't cutting it unfortunately at the moment.

I think it's fair to criticise both. I'm not picking a favourite in this game.
