Patto


Been a big fan of his but his distribution is shocking and cost us the points today not coming for a simple ball for the equaliser. Moore has done nothing wrong and deserves a chance
If this had been a comment regarding his distribution over recent performances I'd be inclined to disagree, but it isn't. His distribution, gifting of possession and goals has been going on for a couple of seasons. He is absolutely shite at what is pretty fundamental for a keeper, distribution. Being a good shot stopper is one thing, in fact its relatively easy for them, "just get in the way of the ball", I just don't understand how he's so bad at the other stuff. Usually, goalkeepers are very technical with the ball at their feet. Patterson is the polar opposite, he never looks comfortable, whether pressured or not and constantly knocks it out of play or to the opposition. In the last game, he was rooted to the spot when Mepham wanted him to pick it up and fortunate today their forward played a nice back pass to him, after he teed the lad up nicely.
 
I thought he could have claimed it when O’Nien attempted a piss poor header into a piss poor area for their second.

He is tied to the post by invisible bungee cords.

An experienced keeps comes claims and lies on it for a minute. Kills the game.
Not so sure that cross was his to claim.

Would help if the two lads on the winger did one of the most basic things in football... stop the cross!
 
Only as good as the team players in front of him back end of the game we were disjointed took bulk of our forward players off for defenders and sat back at home against the worst team in league poor game management from Le Bris and I still think Dodds has too much say on who comes on subs wise
 
Good shot stopper but shit scared of coming off his line into to 6/18 yard box and bullying everyone to make the ball his. Swansea's first goal away, a prime example, ball was in the the air for 5 seconds and instead of coming to get it our defenders had to make a challenge and they got a penalty. His distribution......well, its shocking.
