Sad thing is you Coleman is getting fast tracked back into the side regardless of how good Patterson plays.

He was great yesterday but even he must know that he's going to have very few chances this season, which is incredibly unfair seeing as his only competition should have retired about four seasons ago.

Coleman is a fine backup. Problem is he is being forced into a starting role and that isn’t really his fault. Patterson should be given time to develop as should Myko. That is our future

Looking ok,.only negative for me was he didn't want to take a chance and try and take their full back on. Kept coming back playing the easy ball

I've seen Patterson play a number of times now for Everton, Scotland and a couple of Rangers European ties. One thing I haven't seen in his game yet is take on the opposition full back on the outside from a standing start. It's not, as yet, in his game. He's always most dangerous cutting inside or receiving the ball as he's running. Having said that I don't think I saw him being negative much yesterday. Wasn't often I thought there was something on for him and he refused to commit.

Correct.

I said yesterday his strength is in intercepting loose balls played out from the back by opposition defenders which he can then gather and run at their back four, directly toward the box.

It struck me as alarming that he isn't taking on defenders. That's a minumum if you're playing wing back and not tasked with that much defensive work. Even a soon to be 34 year old Coleman still does that.

Do you feel that there may be reasons why he played within himself yesterday Dave? I can
