Forest are gutless feckers
Get the nutter back in to mess them up
Big Kief
Hoilett Tomlin Paterson
Ralls Vaulks
Bennett Morrison Nelson Bacuna
Smithies
If Tomlin isn't fit (when is he?) put Paterson behind Big Kief and put Sang on the right
leave the lightweight 2 we've just signed on the right for the bench
I reckon Paterson won't start for us in the league this season and will be gone next summer.Quote:

I think he can do a job on the wide right, he's not a winger obviously but can get up and down and would cover the full back behind him. Strange too that we are desperately short of a right back and we have to rely on Osei-Tutu, who has played one League game, and Bacuna to fill the slot when Paterson was signed as a rb and plays there for Scotland.
Plan A
It is ironic that we have an International right back and we never play him there. Mind you, it wasn’t very helpful that Colin announced very publicly that he wouldn’t pick him there because he couldn’t defend. Great confidence builder that.Quote:

Exactly, as I said that is the irony. He has played RB for Hearts and Scotland but is not good enough for us. No need for Colin to say so though. Shows how poor Scotland must have been in that position. Your description of his skill set is very appropriate. Other than commitment I would struggle to define it in relation to him.Quote:

Here's where he's played in his career - still played at right back more than anywhere else.
Never played at centre back, perhaps we should give him a go there
That’s because he hasn’t played right back since leaving Hearts! Warnock finished him as a right back saying he can’t defend despite playing their for years! I would have thought Harris would have given him a try at right back but perhaps he thinks the same as Warnock? Bacona also played at right back for Villa in the Premier League so if we don’t get another right back surely we should put one of them there?Quote:

Get stuck in
Paterson on the wing :hehe:
How anyone can think get stuck in football is going to be successful in this day and age is a mystery. Paterson has no place starting unless we have an injury crisis
On man management, I'm going to side with Warnock on this one. He got the best out of him, he scored a lot of goals for us and if he's going to play at Champ level or above, it'll be further forward. Let's be honest, he's rubbish at football but he's got heart and physicality and had/has a knack of arriving in the box at the right time.Quote:

Having played and scored in the EPL, I think he'll probably have to drop down a division to get a permanent move. Strange player.

When was the last time that Paterson "messed up" an opposing team?Quote:
