Yep me. You’ve seen how bad our right side of defence has been, not only against the Barcodes but in a string of defeats the past few months. Time for change before it really is too late. Gordon and Patterson operating down our right could develop a Baines/ Piennar relationship.
As you say, Patterson is a decent crosser , after one or two of those the opposition will be drawn to closing him down , allowing Gordon to cut inside to the space created. Defensively yes he’s lacking in PL experience but he not appalling, and that’s the job of the coaches to improve his raw defensive talent, and we’ve got two of the best English full backs on our books to do that.
There are no easy PL games for us left , if we get into mid table security we’ll still be pushing for a win , there’s probably only the FA cup game and that’s a potential banana skin too. There’s little point bringing in a new manager, new coaches and new players if all we do is play the same old ones who’ve got us into this mess. Two pacy 20 year olds operating down the right works for me.
