2025/26 Nathan Patterson

[BackRow PE6]

I understand the clamour for Patterson given everyone is sick to death of JOB at right back, but hopefully today will remind people that he's just not the required standard, as much as we'd love him to be.

Three successive managers have overlooked him now and they can't all have agendas against him.

Did he do anything today to make me think otherwise? Not really, he just did the bare minimum in terms of putting a shift in.

He’s similarly effective as JOB at right back but gives the team more balance. I’d go with that ahead of the alternative we have had

Didn't think he was bad today for a lad that has barely kicked a ball for 3 yrs.... Better than job at rb, would leave him there, should improve further as match fitness improves

 

[TheBigMan]

He had a good game so should keep his place and hopefully in the summer we sort the fullback positions out, unfortunately doesn't look like we our this window

 

[windymiller]

Did fine today. Better than most, in fact.

 

[artetatata]

He was okay. I wish he’d run forward with more aggression and intensity, but compared to Mykelenko on the other side it’s like watching Kyle Walker in his heyday.

 

[roy vernon]

I thought Patterson did ok today.

 

[f.t.r.s]

He was okay. I wish he’d run forward with more aggression and intensity, but compared to Mykelenko on the other side it’s like watching Kyle Walker in his heyday.

He might do if Dibling looked remotely arsed ...

At one point you could see he was looking to play a give and go and Dibling just stood still resulting in him stopping and playing it back into the midfield

 

[artetatata]

I can’t disagree. Thankless task with Dibling in front of him today.

 

[Curtis]

Can tell he was serviceable today because Dave's posting in this thread has been minimal

He's not good enough...end off.

 

[blueconverse]

Was completely fine. Made Moyes look like a right plant pot

 

[Mr Happy]

He's not good enough...end off.

Get off

 

[welshtoffee]

Was OK yesterday and the good thing is it gets O'Brien into central defence

 

[Eveready]

Played alright, Dibling was an awful foil for him to play off. Dibling has terrible decision making skills, hopefully that will improve with time.
