Wish him all the best did nothing but try for us, all I had against him was I thought we had better to play where he was being played, not his fault and as a pro he's just going to get on with it and do as his gaffer says.
I really think it says a lot about the players that he was starting in front of. Any striker that was being benched instead of player signed as a right back needs to do some self evaluation.
Patterson wasn't the best footballer we've had, but he rarely let us down.
