Nope mate. In the eyes of the football data lords they are seen as an indicator of poor defending ie the player is out of position and is having to make a last ditch attempt to stop the danger progressing. Defenders are seen as being quite hard to put into stat form, I have seen a few data people saying a better way is to do it with interceptions/clearances/progressive passes as being a good defender is ultimately about reading the game, intercepting the ball and clearing the danger. I'm not saying this is right or anything but that's how a lot of the stat guys view it.

You'll not get anywhere with the cheerleaders by quoting facts and data.

If only Patto had a quarter of the defensive acumen as David Weir, Richard Gough or other fantastic former Rangers players. All of whom I loved and supported (obviously Gascoigne apart)

I just think the kid still has a fair bit to learn that's all, I don't see him quite as polished as others do.

Sorry to offend if you don't like alternative opinions on a discussion forum. Compared to most of our players threads on here this one is kindergarten stuff.

Tbose 3 metrics are amongst the stats that were posted ;)

Defensively he's very poor which is obvious and proven as he's been benched whenever possible and is now our 3rd choice right back. For someone that came from an outlay of £20m that is shocking. That's the verdict of managers and coaches that see him day in day out.

Stop lying.

Having to lie to make a point shows your view isn’t very valid/is wrong.

Why are you bringing rangers into it?

And can you stop ruining the thread with your bile about him. His last few appearances for us were decent. Have some time off.

And if you are genuinely angry about the fee etc, go into the board/kenwright thread and kick off because the fee etc is nothing to do with Patterson.
