2024/25 Nathan Patterson

This shows clearly he's only had prior experience is in a slower poorer league. He has to take a step back to learn the game again. I really hope he can do that and knuckle down. Good luck to him.
He has to be moved out as a matter of urgency.

He's not a footballer of any worth. They have an ability to learn; Patterson is completely incapable of learning from his many mistakes.

Get shut now.

Challenging for a header ???? Deary me.

Think you need to look at the other FB .

Why would I need to look at anyone other than the player who gambles and leaves his position to challenge for a header he had no right going for?

Stop making countless excuses for a player who is clearly terrible at what he's been brought here to do.

The mistake was made a few seconds earlier, he did not hold the defensive line. He was a good few yards behind the defensive line playing everyone onside.

It's all about decisions. He doesn't make good ones. That's why he's an atrocious player.

It's an utter disgrace we never saw him try and find his feet inn this team. That lad looks to have everything required.

….Dixon is poor in possession and link play needs improvement but that’s the part of his game that will improve with those endless possession routines they do in training. He’s also raw, I’d be worried about him giving a penalty away, but he’ll become more composed with experience.

I’d say he’s got a higher footballing ceiling than Patterson, he’s a fantastic runner.

I've got a higher football ceiling than that feller.

Agreed, he's got a big upside and he did pretty well when he came into the side. Certainly looks better a much better prospect than Patterson to me.
 
He doesn't have the experience or ability to play in a back 4.

I would only play him as wingback.

This is the reason he finished last season as the 4th choice rightback.

Wingback. He's been tried at that too and failed abysmally.

Occam's Razor surely applies: the most logical answer is that he's about two divisions off PL level.

I think you're being a bit hasty here.

He needs another 12 chances at rightback with a new manager and if that doesn't work then we need another new manager as this one like Dyche must have had a reason to fall out with him.

We also need to give him another chance for Scotland as its quite clear Steve Clark is in cohoots with Dyche to hold him back and force him to make multiple defensive errors on the pitch.

Thinking back to when Lampard arrived and one of his staff was Ashley Cole, probably one of the best English fullbacks in the Premiership era. Now, these arrived at Finch Farm with no favorites or relationships with the current squad so he must have offered nothing in training to be given a chance. The only appearance he got given was against the part timers of Boreham Wood in the FA cup and he got hooked off at half time.

Says it all really.
 
Saw this thread at the top of the menu. Any genuine comments on his performance?
He didn’t have a great game but was certainly no worse than DCL who Dyche said played well . The level of nastiness levelled against this lad is unreal as the whole team were awful yesterday so really at as loss to see how the focus seems to be on him . if people want to play the blame game there are plenty more candidates than this lad .!!
