Callum Patterson

[WJ99mobile]

Surely a reality check is in order. He played 27 times in our PL season and was on the losing side 16 times. He only scored 4 goals. The standard play was a punt from Etheridge where Callum would flick on to the opposition and we'd huff and puff to get the ball back which usually happened after they'd scored. Then rinse and repeat. Someone should have organised an intervention when Warnock said 'ya know what? Let's play Patto oop front, I reckon 'e could do a right job for us!'

Don’t think there’s any need to slate him.

He knew his limitations. So did we.

Didn’t stop him buying god knows how many free kicks (which we made the most of quite a few times)

Often got the first balls to which others did pick up on

Often riled defenders into mistakes just by being a nuisance

He was shit at times, technically awful and wasn’t brilliant at one specific position but I’m glad he was here and he did more to add to a limited team than detract to it.

He’s been one of my favourite players for a decade.

I was slating Warnock actually for picking him as a CF. The other stuff was just stats (apart from the Etheridge to Callum part which was also a critique of Warnock). However, my view is that he was a contributor to the reasons we were a limited team and didn't add anything positive. But again, that's down to Warnock.

I'm glad he was one of your favourite players. Nothing I say should change that, nor do I want to.
