2024/25 Nathan Patterson

[GrandOldTeam]

No idea whether he's good enough, but I'd have liked to have seen him given a run of games, with Young at left back.

Takes Mykolenko out the team, and gives us a bit of legs/bit more attacking threat down one side.

But he's always injured isn't he? Feels like he's always got a problem.

 

[John from Bootle]

Thank god he followed that up with a superb performance on Sunday.

Wasn't our worst player. Not that that's saying a lot.

It was a quality assist, didn't realise we weren't able to praise a player if they do something good. I've been critical of Young in the past myself. I remember commenting that he still remarkably had the legs to a degree and can still cover a lot of ground, though I felt it was his reflexes and decision making that was letting him down. He seems to have cut the brain farts out recently though.

Yep ideally I think that’s what should have happened weeks ago.

Obviously Young isn’t the answer to any question but depressingly he’s been one of our best players now for about 5/6 games in fairness to him.

No, I agree he’s not deserved to be dropped. Myko on the other hand…. Particularly when we’re playing at home against a 10 man Brentford, for example.

Is he injured, though? He often seems to be in the training videos and photos but is then not available at the weekend to be right back in the videos the following week. It definitely seems like there's something going on between him and Dyche.

He's been in the squad for the last 6 weeks or so, just not coming on. Before that he was injured. He does seem to have pretty serious fitness issues for whatever reason, he's had maybe 3 or 4 lengthy lay offs in the time he's been here I think.

A clip around the ear from your gaffer doesn't help him recover any quicker like.

….wouldn’t be surprised if Dyche starts him tomorrow. I think he’s pretty much given up with this squad and knows he’s on his way out.

After him saying he made subs to “rest legs” I can’t see it myself

….i hope that’s the case, I have concerns about Patterson’s defensive capability.

….i hope that’s the case, I have huge concerns about Patterson.

And not 39 year old Ashley Young who, after being bought for cover, is now playing almost every minute of every game

Can't wait to see what excuse people use for when the next manager doesn't play him.

…says everything about the squad that’s been put together and the transfer strategy. The fact that Young has arguably been our best player this season is quite depressing. Shamefully, he’s our best no2.

yes he should play him as a wing back with a back 3 .......by unfortunately that's a bit out of Sean's comfort zone.

 

[matty1878]

bet you he’s better than cafu under our new savior

He will get a run when Dyche is given the boot... we need some youthful exuberance...
