He tinkers when things are bad but when they're good he sticks with those he trusts. He also distinguishes between the league and the cup. This is his league team. I'd also argue that Palmer has a bigger impact as a substitute than Paterson. Maybe that's the thinking? Start your strongest side surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer when playing makes us look like scoring a good 4-5x more often than when he doesn’t play. We have 4 goals in his 120 or so minutes of playing and conceded 1. So I honestly cannot fathom how he is not starting today. Just another LJ trying to be clever I reckon. And no this does not mean we can’t win and still a strong lineup. Just think Palmer has done more than enough to displace Paterson for good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 FFS, Palmer and Eliasson are the stars from the last game but Paterson get's selected again, sorry I really don't get how after the past 12 months Paterson gets selected, especially with what's available and I don't care about what LJ sees in training. 4 minutes ago, JBFC II said: Not really. Pato has looked decent in the last few games, he's been a central part of our form this season. Palmer did look good v a makeshift Bolton defence but starting pato makes sense imo Paterson has barely had an average game for 12 months now, he has not been central to our form and continually selecting him does not make sense.

petehinton Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Also dropped Kelly again and no Morrell in squad. Semenyo recalled but left off bench for Taylor & Eisa. LJ starting to chat shit about the pathway for youth players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So... seventh in the table, unbeaten in 12, won six in a row and people will justifiably want the manager sacked if we don't win again today?

Lrrr Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Semenyo's barely been back and will have hardly trained with the players not hard to think he may be given a week or 2 training with the players to get used to our system again...

Spike Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Patto starting obviously raises an eyebrow when we have Palmer but the one I can't understand is Wright. We have two right backs, both are good choices, are they both injured? Wright with his lack of game time makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 How Patterson gets in ahead of Palmer is beyond me. He must have photos of LJ with his nob out or something. Also Bailey Wright ahead of Pisano at right back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Lets just for arguments sake say don’t agree with it. If you want to tell me after the game I was wrong fair enough. Don’t mind being on record. Like Paterson and played his part but massive difference in talent and I am a believer in playing your best XI every week. Not sure there is a debate to be had about who is better between the two. Whereas the rotation of players like Kelly and Dasilva, Hunt/Wright/Pisano and Weimann/COD/ Eliasson is much more debatable imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
