Callum Patterson

Re: Callum Patterson

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!'

Re: Callum Patterson

BTW, he only had 8 shots on target and 1 assist during our PL season.

Patterson is EXACTLY the type of player we need given the points we have

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.

No , thats exactly why we are here . I would rather watch the youngsters try to play football.
Hit and hope football is dead. Blood and guts is dead.

Can't remember what his passing and composure was like, how does he fit into a team that doesn't hoof it up field to him?

We weren't getting any points on the board. We were losing while hoofing it.

Perfect lower league player.

He doesn't even fit into a team that hoofs the ball up to to him because he can't hold it up. I think the fact that he's playing as a centre-back in League One a few years after playing as a striker for us in the Premier League says it all.

Can't agree more fella

Nice bloke, good to have around etc but that I important part of being a footballer..some make a career out of being utility players, I don't even think he's that he's just shoved wherever.

Re: Callum Patterson

Can we stop talking about Callum Paterson? He seemed like a decent bloke and he tried hard. But he was never that good. And he's gone. He's been gone. We don't need him back. He is literally a League One player. Let's see how long that lasts.

I suppose the one plus to these occasional threads is that they are football related

Re: Callum Patterson

I always liked Patto, but if we are honest, what he lacked in skill ( and his skillset is fairly limited ) he made up with effort

but that was never really going to work long time

looks like a great dressing room character though, which is a big plus in todays game
