Patto


I don't think it's a starting position that Moore can win unless Patterson starts playing badly. He's our number 1 and the likes of him, Neil, Rigg epitomise what the club wants to be.

Moore is here to play if he has to and sit on the bench otherwise, albeit he's done well keeping 3 clean sheets.
 
I was right behind his save last night . Won us the point great save which looked like it took a slight deflection . Good keeper , nick and took between the him and Patterson
 
Moore deserves to keep his place in the team. I'm general in football if you get a chance and you do well you keep your spot. Sends the wrong message to any player who isn't in the team "no matter how well you play when you get the chance you won't be in the team once that player is back"
Even if that player happens to be better?

Yes. Better is subjective and closely related to form and confidence. moore has kept 100% of clean sheets in the league for us and say pato comes back in plays 5 games and gets injured. Where's the motivation for Moore to perform when he's going to lose his place again anyway? He can't do any better than keeping 100% of clean sheets.

Had we conceded 3 goals in each game it would be a no brainer.
 
Patterson is the clear No 1, he is the asset for the club and he'll get the shirt back no bother when he's fit. Moore knows this. However, there's no need to rush him back, I would only play him Saturday if he's 100%.
 
If Patto is fully fit he comes back in the team for me. Until he’s fully ready then Moore is doing okay
Think it’s better than okay mind ( call me Mr Pedantic !)
He’s done tremendously well ( kept us in the game with that save in front of us last night )
Cannot drop him after 3 clean sheets in a row surely ?
