Sheffield Wednesday's player of the month for January.
Paterson and Moore would have terrorised defences.
Patterson for me was always better playing behind the striker but was certainly capable on the right or through the middle.
Given his age and his versatility think we made a mistake letting him go
Big fan of a lumper up front
Paterson was a good lad who always got stuck in
says more about the standard at sheff wed
Great servant,character , all rounder , does a job , handy on the bench , what's not to like , probably a wage reduction move , if we play a lone striker ,whcih is likely it has to Moore as he has better attributes , miss him though .
Top scorer for a promotion side, versatile, always gave his best for the team, was a bit of a personality and could have cured our right back problem - poor business by us selling him, especially at that price.
If we were going to improve we needed better.
However i wish we had him for the relegation battle ahead.
So, he “can only play that way” - how do you know that? Have you seen him playing in a team that doesn’t play long ball? If I was to use such daft reasoning, I’d be saying that we played better football towards the end of last season when Paterson was in our squad than we’ve played this season after he left - therefore, Paterson is a player that helps a team play more football.
Paterson might be better suited to playing a certain way, but, no more so than too many players in our current squad - we’ve got no balance when it comes to positions through the centre of the pitch that can dictate how we play, so we end up playing in the way we do. However all the best sides need a share of grafters to go with their craft and Paterson was among the best of our grafters in 17/18 - it wasn’t his fault either that he got shoved up front in the following season when he was, arguably, more effective than Zohore and Niasse.
I don’t like the way we play the game, but why should that mean that I cannot appreciate someone who might not have been that easy on the eye? Paterson was an effective player for us for most of his time with us and it seems he’s one of Sheffield Wednesday’s most effective players as well.
I said he was one of the reasons, not the only reason.
Its hardly surprising we are having difficulty changing our style of play when the squad is mainly built in the mould of Neil Warnock.
It certainly changed for the better when Harris was getting a tune out of Tomlin and Pato was on the bench.
I liked Patto, great character and could play in a number of positions, it was all good
BUT
if we were serious about being a side challenging for promotion, he was not the answer to any of the questions
Time to stop lamenting the transfer of an average player.
What is it with Cardiff City fans and triers?
Non, je ne regrette rien.
he would be more than useful now
Its not the time to play our way out of the bottom ten , get stuck in , get some wins and get up the table
Pretty pretty keep ball has its place but let's get to 50 points first
Could have done a job for us in midfield , centre back , right back too
Bad move in letting him go
there's a middle ground between the turgid football we've seen for the last 2 years and "pretty pretty keep ball" (a term that really shows your age ). It's a shame we don't have paterson scrambling in some shite goal from a scrappy corner anymore, his 5 goals a season is definitely what we're missing
Paterson is a below-average Championship player. Sheffield Wednesday is a below-average Championship team. Who ****ing cares if he's their player of the month?
