Oh Louie louie Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Been his best spell at the club since he returned from derby id say. Certainly his most consistent. Last 3 games i saw him play, he gave his all. didnt see last night. Worth keeping id say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Grim Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 While he played well last night I can't help but feel we should be looking for better. That goes for a couple more areas too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Like lots of players Pato can be inconsistent and currently he’s playing well but you never can tell how long his decent form with last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Perhaps not better but a lot more consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolisredd Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 People think he’s been playing well because if un effective he’s been in games in the past .... he’s been consistently average for us over the last few games with is why people seem to think he’s good now and worth keeping . Average isn’t good enough to get us up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRed Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 He is not good / consistent enough to be a regular if we are aiming for promotion. He wasn’t good enough for Forest at this level, he wasn’t good enough for us as we loaned him out, and then he wasn’t good enough for Derby to want to keep him for the season.

wittydisplayname Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Could we pick up enough money to be able to upgrade on him as a squad player? I think it’s unlikely, and would therefore keep him as he is a decent squad player that would be starting in a fair number of championship teams.

GrahamC Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 For all the Kasey Palmer love in on here for me he is still the best number 10 we have. Only non striker who is likely to score now Brownhill has left us & as much a source of assists as anyone else we have. Bit lightweight, tends to be inconsistent but he would always be in my match day squad. Now need to make a decision on who out of Palmer & Szmodics stays as well, though that will probably depend on who we can move on rather than which one we would prefer to keep.

RedRoss Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 For me he's in the inconsistent pile with Korey, Baker, O'Dowda (although can't even remember his last good game?) Hunt, Weimann. All players I think we should move on. No more sentiment with a new manager and a new start needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly ever gets any assists though, been many conversations on this forum about Paterson since he's been here. He is better behind the front man/2 but still doesn't do enough. He's a 1 in 5 player. Has 9 or 10 good games a season, but the rest he might as well not be on the pitch. I agree with the other poster earlier though, I'd rather see him stay than O'Dowda.

Of course you are entitled to your opinion but including his unhappy time at Derby he has provided 4 assists this season & scored 6. Palmer has 1 goal & 3 assists.

Robin101 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Yeah I think if, say, Walsh had made that assist and scored that FK last night OTIB would be creaming itself. Paterson was very good last night. Surely worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consistency would be a bonus I think you've got to accept that any player trying to make clever defence splitting passes is going to make more 'poor' passes than those that take the 5 yd sideways/backwards option.

bcfc01 Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 He played much more freely last night (thanks to Smith doing the mopping up) and it paid off with a sublime pass to Diedhiou and a cracking free kick. If he made a few iffy passes, well thats what you get for asking him to play with some freedom and attempt passes that don't come off. His inconsistency may be down to LJ not allowing that freedom, just a thought (and the same may be said of Palmer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I think he’s worth keeping hold of. Yes he’s inconsistent (most of our players are!), but he scores, he can run with the ball and is very skilful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I would certainly keep him around as a squad player. He has not always been consistent but you can see the ability is clearly there. Are we going to get another quality player to agree to come here as a backup? It's doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely harsh including Bakes in that list given that he's arguably been our best defender this season. In fact I'd say he's in the running for player of the year.

In fact I'd say he's in the running for player of the year. Completely agree on his performance but he just can't stay fit for a season. His injury record is way to consistent. He's averaged about 75% of games played going back 7 years even at Villa. That's not including his worst seasons like last season where he managed 16 appearances. I just feel like we need a more solid pairing or part of a 3 that's not constantly rotated due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the amount of minutes he got last season in particular. One of a few players that we definitely need to look to improve on or we will continue to stagnate in this division.

Between points in time, the locker is a janitors closet. Very, very, inconsistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 The trouble is and this goes for most for our players, that was the 1 in 5 good performance from him last night.
