That's simply not true though is it? Dyche is a very defensive orientated manager. Patterson's strengths are not in his defending so there's the issue I think.

Two prime examples - Villa and Burnley in the cups. Played excellently. Immediately dropped to the bench for following games.

With our tight formation leaving wingers and corner takers unmarked there is apparently no role of the conventional running full back.
I still would like to see him in the early coleman position . Awkward but effective RM , with a solid older head behind him to learn how to defend.

Ignore him, troll account trying way too hard.
Imo, Patterson should play some part in most of our games, be that as a starter or coming off the bench. I think hes going to come good for us if he can stay injury free.
He's currently behind Godfrey, Young and Coleman in the pecking order. If we're sticking with Dyche i'd have no worries in letting him go if we got our money back.
How much has he really developed in 2 years?

But they say they “like the lad”. Which if you ignore every single one of their other posts in the thread might be true.
I think the club think the same. Unfortunately Coleman has been injured for large periods so he isn’t getting to train/play with him which I bet we were hoping for.

Don't think he fits the system Dyche wants to play and therefore won't be able to improve. Club comes first though, if this is the style we go with unfortunately Patterson may miss out which disappoints me as I see potential and I like the lad, he has plenty about him.
I haven't seen anything to think he's worthy of a place.
The lad has tools, I’ve explained them in detail in this thread. But I think if you’d played the game at a decent level, you can see his in game decision making and general systemic defending needs to be honed. Arguably you could put him where Branthwaite was before his loan.
The lad has never really had a run of games week in week out in games of jeopardy beyond being a back up option, he’s never had the opportunity to make a mistake @nd learn in application the next day out, he’s never had to be relied on really and he’s never had to teaching week to week over a run of games. He needs road minutes for me, were he can get the experience he needs beyond being a back up.
I said at the start of Jan that if he wasn’t starting most games for us, we need him out on loan, similar to Branthwaite that would evolve his game, I felt it was best for the lad but also the club, because we may need to go reaching for August and I’m not sure he’s ready to play 38 games and hang your hat on him.
I don’t get this at all, he doesn’t seem to be in Dyche’s plans, so why not let him go?
We aren’t developing him at all, he gets a few games and dropped regardless of whether he plays well or not. Nobody develops anything sat on the bench beyond splinters in the arse.

Agreed here. It's a shame Coleman hasn't been able to play more with Nathan.
Good post. Its a shame.
