….sad case that the previous manager was, I suspect there was politics behind the Obnoxious One not picking him.
Ferguson picked his mates in Kenny and Holgate & Lampard hasn’t really deviated from that squad. I fully expected Coleman to start yesterday, I hoped Patterson would come on for the last 20mins.
No idea if Mykolenko was injured, but not a good sign for him that he was brought off when we didn’t have another LB in the squad. Square pegs in round holes covering a LB was odd.
Once he assesses the players for himself, I’d be disappointed if Lampard doesn’t come to the conclusion that Patterson should share game time with Coleman. I‘d hope he’ll be our no1 no2 by the end of the season, he’s a class act.
