Patto

[pRICK]

He is, so is Billy Jones, Justin Hoyte, and Nick Woltemade.

Every time I watch that first one I expect it to go in. It was a quite remarkable save - full stretch and the ball was behind him when he clawed it out.

It was an absolutely sensational save.

I think he's ok at shot stopping but has a habit of parrying the ball back into dangerous areas. I think his cross claiming is poor to be honest. He rarely came off his line and claimed the ball

there's the highlights by the way. I think he'll be disappointed not to get the first one away. And tbh, whilst I wouldn't say the second is his fault, he'll probably think he might have done better with it. No absolute howlers imo though

He may well have got away with the first one if the finish on the rebound hadn't been so good. He should be doing better for it though.

Hardly surprising he's a bit rusty after barely playing for 6 months.

 

[riffraff]

Shame he didn't go there riff.... Dan Neil in the lions den has a certain Biblical ring to it!!

Bravo Sir/Madam.

Patterson is, always has been, and always will be, a bang average middle of the road Championship goalkeeper.

No more, no less, and it's hardly an insult before anyone starts.

He'll be 26 in a couple of months and has played around 180 senior games in his career.

He is what he is at this point.

That's quite a lot of games for a 25 year old.

 

[Banks]

If conceding 3 in one game shows he is an average championship keeper does the clean sheet in the following game showing a 100% clean sheet rate in that admittedly small sample of one game not prove he is the best keeper that has ever played at championship level?

Your daft bias started it

My daft bias?

Over a season 46 games he ranked 13th. So how is he not an average championship keeper when stats show he is?

 

[SydneyFan]

I think he's a very good Championship keeper - excellent stop stopper and good at claiming crosses. His distribution is what will stop him playing in the PL.

That's a long way from "average"

Every time I watch that first one I expect it to go in. It was a quite remarkable save - full stretch and the ball was behind him when he clawed it out.

That's literally one of his worst attributes. He hates to come off his line.

How many times does Roef come out into the mix and claim the balls into the box to relieve the pressure. It's night and day between the two, that and the distribution, and it's why we'll be fighting hard to keep him in the Summer.

 

[VenisonsMullet]

Disagree. He improved massively each season with claiming crosses.

 

[nz joe]

Two good saves at Wembley doesn't make him a world class keeper. That's like saying Patrice Carteron is world class for scoring 1 goal against the Mags!

Where on this thread has anyone claimed he is world class ??
He is too good a keeper to be a backup and certainly not an average Championship keeper.
Will have a good career as a top end Championship ,then excellent no.2 in Premiership when older.

It depends on how seriously you take your stats. Sqwarka have Dean Henderson as best keeper in the prem this season, Dubravka 4th ahead of Roefs and Raya bottom half.

Roefs is a very good goalkeeper but the metrics also show hes very protected by a good defense. That may change over the next ten games with current form.

Dubravka is having an excellent season dont let his newcastle career sway you.

Patterson played for the playoff winners with a defensive coach. He placed 13th in the metrics.

Nothing suggests he is anything above championship level. So much so hes now playing for a championship club.

 

[Southern Monkey]

Patto needs to play, at 25 being back up for 2/3 of the season is a shame even if he might have learned from working with Roefs. He’s still young enough to come again for a PL starting place but be needs to keep improving and become a stand out at championship level in the first place.

If you want to go by the same metrics that tell you Dean Henderson is the best keeper in the Premiership better than Allison , Donnaruma etc and Dubravka in the top 4 with Raya bottom half that’s fine. I’m not sure I can take the argument any further tbh.

Now you seem to have moved the goalposts a bit there as well. I think most would say he’s a good championship keeper and would agree that’s his level.

yeah if he want to be the best, that area he need to learn, why cant he?

 

[woodlebert]

Well yes he’s mid20s, can still improve. He’ll need to actually do it though. He was weak on crosses in league 1 and never seemed to really improve comparatively.

I’d say his strengths and weaknesses stayed the same without much closing of the gap between them, which you’d hope to see if he was focussing on the weaker areas

Raya?

Hes ok but hes protected again by a workman like arsenal side

You seem to pick on Dean Henderson for sone reason when hes an excellent premier league goalkeeper and i dare i say it at club level a better keeper than pickford.

A keeper with good stats in an expansive side that play open football is a very good goalkeeper showing how good Donnarumma is.

Patterson has not shown to be good in the chsmpionship yet. Statistically hes 13th. Made a number of clangers at safc.

At millwall we will wait and see. To say hes a good chsmpionship keeper with zero evidence to support it is a stretch

I’m not picking on Dean Henderson - he is a very good goalkeeper but if you are saying he’s the best in the division or even that Arsenal in their position would settle for a lower mid table keeper then I think you are mistaken. If you don’t agree with those stats then you can hardly use them as your evidence that Patto is a middle of the road keeper at champ level.

 

[kmpc]

Best of luck to Patto. He has a chance to be in promotion pushes in back to back years. He came good for us last time. Wouldn’t hurt anyone if he came through again.

Coventry City boss Frank Lampard is setting up a Premier League move for keeper Anthony Patterson.

Lampard fears he will need a new number one next season as Carl Rushworth is set to return to Brighton after a terrific loan spell.

Patterson is on loan at Millwall from Sunderland and the Lions will also try to keep him if they go up at the end of the campaign.

However Lampard is on his trail and would be keen to take Patterson either on loan or a buy if Sunderland quite a sensible fee.

A Rushworth return seems a long shot but will be explored but Patterson now appears the more likely incoming keeper.

Patterson is a problem for Sunderland to solve. He helped them win promotion but was then overlooked.

The home grown keeper won’t get back into the Black Cats side in a hurry so a move would help him. A loan is favourite but a buy around £8 million may also work.
