Charles Hawtrey
Player Valuation: £50m
Already has a job at a PL club where his competition is two geriatrics in his favoured position. He is a Scotland international and should be at his peak. Why is this not working for him?

Its not his fault that we've not bought well but at the end of the day we were all desperate for us to replace Coleman for years and then we brought him in and it just hasn't worked out at all so far so its normal for people to judge him harshly I think.Agreed totally. I don't understand the clamour amongst some of the participants of this forum for Patterson to fail here. I understand it from @davek, that's just straightforward bigotry, but from others it's just odd. The lad's been in and out of the side, has problems with injury and, I would argue at least, that his performances have been mixed rather than universally poor.
Judge him, fine, it's certainly not gone how we'd all hope, but the vitriol for this lad is completely unwarranted. The word "harshly" is key here. He doesn't fit the way Dyche wants to play, that is clear, and a move probably suits all parties on that basis, but to write him off completely as a failure isn't based on any real evidence. And continuing to rely on an ancient Young and a broken down Coleman is madness. Particularly now that Godfrey has gone.Its not his fault that we've not bought well but at the end of the day we were all desperate for us to replace Coleman for years and then we brought him in and it just hasn't worked out at all so far so its normal for people to judge him harshly I think.
Think he showed good things at times. Hopefully his injuries are behind and lets see how we go.

I think it’s this simple: with an attack that didn’t score many goals last season, Dyche favoured a back four that would be solid and not concede many where Patterson is much more of an asset going forward than defendingAlready has a job at a PL club where his competition is two geriatrics in his favoured position.

So if its looking like our attack will improve this year with addition of Ndaiye and rumoured wingers will Patterson be in with more of a chance?I think it’s this simple: with an attack that didn’t score many goals last season, Dyche favoured a back four that would be solid and not concede many where Patterson is much more of an asset going forward than defending

From what I’ve seen of him, I really don’t get the hate.
IF the manager thinks he’s a bit questionable he should play him further forward as the attacking bit of his game has seemed fine to me.
There I’ve said it.
I wouldn’t have said he was that good going forward myself tbh he’s ok but there’s nothing very impressive about his attacking I don’t think.His skillet is attacking , Dyche prefers more defensive full backs. He hasn't kicked on and has been plagued by injuries. In reality I think we bought him before we saw real development. He needs to go somewhere and play first team football

I think he’s got a better chance of getting in the team yeahSo if its looking like our attack will improve this year with addition of Ndaiye and rumoured wingers will Patterson be in with more of a chance?
