JakeOTIB Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Who would you rather have in the starting eleven at the moment? I would have to say Paterson since he is in very good form and it would break the flow if we dropped him for Tomlin. We've also played very well without Tomlin too... thoughts lads?

bpexile Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Pato for me, we seem to be more effective without Tomo but on his day Tomo is one of the untouchables & It's a shame he's not consistant. Don't mess with this line up LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi the Robin Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 The mobility of Paterson seems to be working for us at the moment He seems to fit in better than Tomlin in a 442, which is paying off at home now Not sure why he's been missing then straight back in but hey ho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angmering Red Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 LJ said in an interview after the Wolves game, he had wanted to put Pato back in before then but he had been injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malago Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Paterson, like Brownhill, O'Dowda, Reid etc need serious game time before we truly know how good he/they are. Re Tomlin, I would shift him on if possible, and sign a more consistent championship proven payer in his stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engvall's Splinter Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 On current two game form then it's Patterson. Yet when he first joined he looked decent before appearing to obtain the City jinx. Fingers crossed he gets a run of games to continue this form.

The guy came on yesterday and really struggled to chase the ball. A staggering substitution when we were looking solid at 2-0 with wilbs and odowda up front. I think if we get a quick striker in then that might get the best out of tomlin. But if he can't consistently play well, then I don't want him here. Not only does Paterson offer loads more in terms of tracking back, tackling, making runs and closing down. He is also doing a lot more with the ball at his feet. Beginning to look like the best permanent signing we made this season. We've been crying out for a player like pato all season. Why has he not been playing!? Crazy. Hang on... Yes Pato has shown good form in the last two home games and of course 2 crucial goals too and right now you would keep him in the side, BUT starting with the Cardiff Away defeat and for 3 or 4 games after Pato was shockingly poor - showing no fight, no desire, no impact. So lets not suddenly build him up as some sort of superstar, yes he clearly has ability but big question over his attitude - which is why Florist were happy to off load him.

I hadn't really thought about then tracking back aspect. Now that I think about it, it's really useful ! Tomlin doesn't have enough pace to defend and then quickly counter, but from watching the game yesterday it's quite evident that Paterson can do it and well!

Tin Soldier Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Tomlin just does not fit in to our line up. Paterson has pace and the wil to chase a ball. Unfortunately Tomlin ends up as a luxury player which is a shame. But his fitness has been under question at times. Still like him though and on his day, he is mercurial. Just wonder if his influence at times can have a negative effect on others? Looked excellent against QPR? Never change a winning team! Will Tomlin still be here next season? Doubt it.

I'm sitting on the fence with that one. If he is meant to be our 'star player' then why has he been keeping the bench warm for the past couple of games. On the other hand, he would be useful if we stick him behind the striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tully Bascomb Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 If we were a top 10 club it would be Tommo but bottom 10 club, you need pace, work rate and guts so it has to be Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Unfortunately, luxury players like Tomlin, seem somewhat out of place in such a competitive league as the Championship. We saw the same when Jacki was here; amazing skills with the ball but too often losing the ball to a pack of opponents. If I genuinely believed that we would be in the top two or three next season, I'd keep him to be used when a "tin opener" is needed to break down massed defence but as we need to consolidate if we stay up, then LT is a luxury that will not benefit us.

Simon79 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 It's quite simple really, who ever is in form. Depending on the tactics for that game. If both in form, would be nice to fit them both in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, hes played over 100 games for us and has probably only had 7 or 8 decent games. But i guess seeing as hes academy, he can get away with being a mediocre player.

Sandhurst Red Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Paterson took his chance very well yesterday and does offer something a little different. That said, at times yesterday he was infuriating to watch. Simple passes went astray, composure in-front of goal was asking on 2 occasions (his goal aside) and he was tactically unaware when counter-attacking - especially in the 2nd half. I'm hoping that those are traits of being out of the first team for a while, as his attitude and passion could not be faulted and if he can improve on the basics he could be a very good player at Championship level.

Bcfc24 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I don't think this should be Paterson or Tomlin argument it should be Taylor or Tomlin, and for me Taylor works his ass off Tomlin doesn't. Yes Tomlin probably has triple the ability of Taylor but I value work rate and will to win so much more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
