Patto


I just don't understand why he seems to have regressed so much in such a short space of time?

He started off the season in good physical shape and quite often helping us win games that we could have got a lot less in.

Now I'm quite ashamed to say that he is overweight and lacking concentration. Either there is something going on behind the scenes at the club or in his personal life we don't know about or his heart just isn't there for it right now.

Either way, I feel that now is the time to take a few games out the firing line and for him to try and find himself again. We aren't making the top 2 and we have 12 games left so maybe its the kick in the teeth he needs to get himself right and if it doesn't work, then he just doesn't have the mental strength to play for a team competing at this level.

Right now though, it feels like if we do get promoted, it will be in spite of his and not because of him.
 
My son sent me the two images and I was shocked then concerned when I saw them.

You've got people like Jobe who I saw with no top on the other day and he's pure muscle. They're professional athletes. They've got far greater resources in diet, nutrition and gym facilities than most people on here. When their body is their main tool to do their job, there's no excuses for not looking after it.
 
100% at fault today. Either in the build up or letting it through his hands.

Weakest foot - both.

Awful judgement - when he needs to stay on his line he doesn't, when he needs to come and get it it's like a vampire trying to get in your house without being invited.
 
For who? Where's his competition? That's half the problem, he's way too comfortable.

He might not be the best keeper but the club should be sending a message to Patto that if standards slip as much as they have then there will be consequences.

Timid little loser
Put the drink down and get to bed man
That's what concerned me. Worried Mam vibes kicking off here!
I think there could be something we don't know currently but if that's the case then I don't understand why he isn't being given time off for personal reasons. It just looks like all the motivation to be professional in his job has disappeared.
