2025/26 Nathan Patterson

I dont 'hate' him at all.

He's just a big soft lad who cant defend without someone standing guard over him and is a liability in attack

He's no use whatsoever to any team that want to got out and play attacking football. We'd be lacerated by the opposition on the break....as we know...because we've seen it on multiple occasions when this lad is caught out of position blowing for tugs jogging back from upfield exposing us. That's why Moyes handed him specific instructions to be in a defensive RB position at all times and then told whoever was on that side with him to make sure he wasn't isolated.

That cant be part of our future as a club if we want to climb the table and stay there.

Lies. Not even subtle about anymore.

Stopped reading after this sentence.

I swear people who criticize our defenders for getting beaten by a man forget that the other team is allowed the ball too.

To add some perspective to this debate: we were playing Villa, a side that couldn’t buy a win in the first part of the season. They’ve clearly been punching above their weight recently, taking advantage of a very weak league to climb the table. This weekend, though, they ran out of steam and delivered a performance much closer to the real Villa we’ve seen all season.

They barely tested either of our full-backs, which is backed up by the defensive stats from the game that someone kindly posted here.

Yet days later, people are still singing the praises of a perma-crocked player who put in, at best, a passable performance. Genuinely one of the most bizarre threads I’ve seen on a football forum.

Yeah I get that, we desperatly need a Rb. But if it isn't happening this window which i very much doubt it will.
We can't be hindering anymore of O'Briens development by playing him there, and with Patterson atleast he is a Fb. You never know with a run of games he could tide us over well for the rest of the season.

Certainly not worse than Jake is in that position.
Also Illy will do a lot of work helping back, he always does..

You'll remember him more clearly the moment we try and play more open against a half decent team.


Four years to the day he's been here:

53 appearances in 4 years:

no goals
3 assists
Pass completions 77%
Long pass completions 38%
Crosses completed 19%
Dribbles completed 53%

An utter shambles of a player. Perception is one thing, but that ^^^ is the reality.

People are just saying he did alright SJ, maybe there's no need to be so upset that you needed to type this novel.

Now do Coleman over the same period.

Now do Coleman over the same period.

You think Coleman has to be justified?

Lol.

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Lol.

You think because you work at a company for a decade you can slack off for the last 4 years of it?

You mistake my bemusement for upset HC, but thank you for taking the time to type this feature length short story in reply to me.
