Paterson

[surge]

He is surprisingly good at taking chances considering he was bought as a right back

And considering hes playing as a makeshift front man hes doing a bloody good job

Up the city

Is this true? The way I remember it, Warnock made a joke very early on about not trusting Patterson as a defender so wouldn't be surprised if he was never going to play that role for us. It seems to be part of the myth that we have RB as our starting striker but Wiki says he played as a striker role before joining Hearts, played as a striker for Hearts (as well as playing RB and midfielder), and we know he has played all his games here in some form of offensive role as well as more recently doing the same for Scotland.

Although Paterson was regarded as versatile from the outset, he was very definitely a full-back by trade when he joined the club. He played almost exclusively as a full-back for Hearts and even had a handful of caps for Scotland at full-back. Indeed, when City signed him the announcement on the club's website described him as an attacking full-back.

Interestingly, he was a striker during his youth days. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/footb...ited-1-2535109

I imagine he's quite hard to pin down as he's not got many technical attributes that you'd say he excels at and yet, he sort of does? I absolutely love him though and I'd 100% play him over Ward and Glatzel. He actually played one or two clever flicks and lay offs on Wednesday night. He also scores. He's nearly got a goal every 4 league games for us, which is mad considering he's played right back and centre mid/10 for most of it.
