What next for Patterson?

[Hilts]

Provided he stays fit, I think Paterson will be in the starting line more than out of it in the coming season. While the front four which started at Old Trafford were portrayed as a dream combination by some, I reckon Neil Warnock will want to have Paterson's aerial ability in the team somewhere if Kenneth Zohore is starting regularly - our manager has always had trouble finding a "natural" number ten for his 4-2-3-1 system and so I wonder if Decordova-Reid might be the one to miss out again?.

Even if we sign a striker who is really good in the air or Gary Madine suddenly starts to look like a £10 million player, I still think we could well see Paterson pushed out on to the right instead of one of the specialist wingers.

Totally agree. Warnock loves Patterson.

To be fair at Championship level hes a player you want on your side and the opposition will hate him. We have far more talented players in all his best positions. But hes really consistent wins his battles and gets goals. He wont have a regular position but he will be a regular starter.

Spot on , and he know that , he's ideal for us never let us down , brings great character to the team ( and lets not underestimate that in any squad )

Id settle for 3 or 4 Patterson's against 3 or 4 overpaid prima donnas, who are better skilled , overpaid , just creating envy in the squad and on the filed , it wont get you up, or winning trophies ask Manure fans .

When I played football it was about a smattering of skill , strong tough characters , team spirit .
