The equation is that the more evidence we get that Patterson is crap the more his small but stubborn fan club want him to play.

The skipper's back soon in any case, then this Young v Patterson stuff gets put to bed.
But only for a short while as Seamus can't go on much longer
Have we a right back coming through the youth ranks?
Have we anyone coming through the youth ranks in any position?
 

….he was only on for a cameo but in one instance Mitoma received the ball and Patterson was 4 yards off him. Mitoma took it to the bye line and crossed. That moment epitomised him.

It’s my big problem with Patterson, when he plays we concede lots of crosses from his flank. I’m sure the coaching staff have the stats but I’m nervous when he starts.

No one can stop a winger crossing the ball all the time. What was happening with Young, was Mitoma was getting “behind” him. Do you understand the difference?

….he certainly ripped Young a few times, they had a good battle but he went past him in a conventional way. The point I’m making is Patterson was in no-man’s land when Mitoma got the ball.
 
Yep, I’d be asking for a transfer too, go and play football at a club who want to try playing a modern progressive style
It’s not even the style for me tbh, but he would offer much more going forward.

I don’t think Patterson is any different defensively than Coleman or young, and he would improve this if he was getting minutes and playing games, in a settled side with tarks and branthwaite.
