Patto

Whilst I agree with you to a point he needs dropping. He has cost us 2 games running now and countless other times with his poor passing/kicking has put us under pressure or we have got lucky.
It was noticeable yesterday after his howler that there was a break in the game where all the players went to the touchline apart from him and none of the players went to him either to kind of gee him up etc

Think the whole team was tbf

Well said...he has hands he can use
I noticed that too, not one played gave a pat on the back/unlucky mate, just fecked off n left him staring into space. Seemed very strange and didnt look good!
 

It’s about time we got behind him! Non of this fans fault bollocks! He’s by far our best keeper and there’s no way of changing that right now so we need to show our support to him. Let’s get behind him and help build his confidence back.

The last few matches I’ve heard the away fans get at him. Let’s get vocal with our support for him.
 
All 'keepers make mistakes. Keeper errors tend to lead to goals. As mistakes go, yesterday's isn't in the Meslier class as there were mitigating circumstances in Roberts getting in the way / Pat not getting a call / ignoring the call. Patto should still have claimed the ball and must take responsibility for the goal.

To balance the error, he made two saves that were beyond routine. We were a bit below par across the piece. You can't win games if you don't score goals.

On a slightly different tangent, I vaguely remember seeing a stat that claimed we'd scored the most OGs in the division.
 
For me Patterson should have shouted 'Keepers" and went to claim the ball.
Roberts should have then ducked and let him get it, but he didn't he jumped for it meaning Patterson should have punched it clear and then he should have fukkin bollocked Roberts for getting in his way....but none of this happened unfortunately
 
He is not like your average keeper like, you just wish he would come out clatter a few centre forwards, go ballistic at his defenders if they make an error. He kicks and throws in to no mans land and just has a vacant look on his face. He is a good shot stopper but is definitely missing something to progress to being a top class keeper. Unless he does have some underlying issues going on because he doesn’t seem very happy.
 
Or the one on one he saved towards the end.

100% he should have done better for the goal but the risk you take putting a dwarf on the front post got exposed yesterday.

Also, anyone want to mention the very reason they had a corner ? WTF was O9 doing giving that away man !!!


by that token then Isador is absolutely shite…. seeing how he missed the easiest of chances every match. He misses easy chances every game. Get him dropped and get someone else in
Why are you blaming the player in front post man it’s the keepers error which it was at Leeds only twice. He’s way off it and needs dropping
 
I dont see that at all...he does more good than bad....as for crosses and yesterday i see keepers flapping and mistiming catches every week....theres been direct goals scored from corners in Prem this year...a ball whipped in at pace going through a crowd is difficult to deal with...
It wasn’t whipped in at pace. It was an easy catch.

They should sit him in a darkened room and make him watch back to back videos of Jordan Pickford bollocking his defenders and commanding his area. I sometimes think he’s a bit mental but it’s very effective.

Am I ? Where am I doing that?
What I am saying is if you have a taller person on the front post, which I’ve always believed, it’s not a goal. As I’ve said in the post your quoting it’s 100% a Pattison error. So not really sure what you’re going on about tbh
 
I've been a long time advocate we need a better keeper.
However, this is mental postings.

2 stone overweight? Is he in fact a pound overweight?
He's a great shot stopper? Is he? Where is that evidence? Is he a great shot stopper or just doing his job therefore the rest of his work is poor?
No one has mentioned the keepers coaching?
For two years we've been seeing countless balls going straight out of play. Him routed to his line at every opportunity. Never coming for a cross and this has remained constant. WHY?

He needs a rest.
He won't get one. Like Rigg Bellingham they are young learning the game and getting absolutely tortured by the management of this club.
I have never wanted him flogged, just to fight for his place back.

It’s blatantly obvious from the photos posted earlier in the thread that he’s overweight.

That will never happen in a month of Sundays. He stands there with a vacant look on his face and refuses to communicate with his defenders. He lets 09 make some absolutely dangerous and life threatening plays as well. “Keepers” is all he needs to yell.

I said it earlier in the thread but this lack of communication seems to be in his personality. I know it’s like marmite but look at how many club social media videos he appears in. He rarely does interviews, rarely interacts with anyone. I mean he’s treating it like a 9-5 job

Spot on ,was nowhere near Meslier standard and you are right to say you cannot win games if dont score goals.Zero or 1 is our norm,this thread wouldnt be here if we had 2/3 gone in at the other end.We have never won comfortably this season,hence the forensic examination of the one goal conceeded.
 
He looks to be carrying a bit too much weight, he rarely communicates with his defence and seems to have a faraway look in his eyes, I am unsure what is going on with him.
 
Simon Moore needs to start the next game. Allowing Patterson to keep his place after 2 huge errors in the space of 25 minutes of football sends the wrong message to the squad. All players need to be accountable for errors.
As a matter of principle Patterson needs to learn. He has nobody to play against so knows it’s almost a guaranteed start for himself. This has to change come August if we don’t offload in a fire sale
