When Sean Dyche first came in he knew exactly what he would get from Seamus, consistent performances as well as leadership.
Seamus has had a very good season in spite of all the difficulties. The fact that Patterson did not get games immediately after the injury to Seamus again was the manager opting to go with more experience in Holgate and Godfrey rather than less with Patterson.
Next season with a fresh start I think it will be a more even contest between Seamus and young Patterson.
The amount of time Patterson spends injured is a worry for such a young man however.
