FT: BARNSLEY 0 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match Thread

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

Paterson is in the team because he scores goals and Glatzel doesn’t. Glatzel may be a neater footballer but he doesn’t score the scruffy goals Paterson does - and Paterson works very hard for the team

Fair play, you waited your moment to post that. Now, if you'd posted that prior to him scoring, you would have gained a lot more kudos.

Glatzel has scored a goal every 355 minutes so basically 1 in 4 games (1422 minutes divided by 4 goals). Not great, but he's also not being used properly.

Paterson has scored 5 in 1440 minutes (championship games) so a goal every 288 minutes or 1 in just over every 3 games and we play a way which suits him.

So we are playing to his strengths and he is barely better, yet he is lauded on here as some hero, the other is criticised and we play a completely different game to what he needs.

I've seen nothing to suggest Glatzel is any better when given a goalscoring chance than Paterson. What's more Paterson gets into those goalscoring positions which Glatzel doesn't. Glatzel is good at holding the ball up at his feet, but Paterson wins the ball in the air a lot more. It's Paterson for me every time..

We don't need to go in the air though.

I'd rather a striker through on goal (YouTube his goal v reading) than a makeshift striker/midfielder/winger/plumber/chippie.
What's more Glatzel gets into the CORRECT positions, those of a striker, he's not outside the box or near the wing when we want him in the box..

I do not like the argument, he is just a makeshift striker, He is a professional footballer and 'he is' whatever position the manager decides to play him in.

He is clearly at his best when playing up top and therefore is a forward player, He has played 99% of his minutes in a attacking role.

You would not call Gareth Bale a makeshift striker, just because he played is formative years as a left back.
