Engvall’s Splinter Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 4 hours ago, GrahamC said: Paterson now has 8 goals in the league this season, that’s 6 fewer than Palmer has scored in his entire career. But he’s a “one good game in 10” player, isn’t he? He was for us. I’m sure I read that the summer gone was incredibly tough for him following his release. May be that’s given him the kick up the ass that was needed and a bit of focus. Good luck to him - for his sake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine Cotterill, one of his best mates in football, recommending working under Lansdown. But that’s a whole other argument. Money talks.

Neither side would have had Pato playing as well as what Swansea are imo. I agree. Pato suits a possession based team much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a while ago he was living and his wife wanted to stay in Swansea where there baby was born, of course his family home could be in Swansea and KP has a pad he lives in during the week or they may have relocated back to Bristol now with a Swansea move not on the cards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted November 27, 2021 Report Share Posted November 27, 2021 Unless I have missed it, everyone on here a bit sad that Pato has left and is doing ok at Swansea - but the real miss for us is Korey Smith. Incredible still how he left the club and the manner in which it happened. Paterson however, is realising some potential because he is in an environment where being a cheeky chappy and coasting is not enough and he has enough about him to apply himself and rejuvenate himself. Looks sharper and more focussed than he did at our (historically) cosy club. Do not look at him now and wonder why we let him go - different player now, thats our clubs fault and the culture that festered that is so hard to shake. He would never have been the player he is there; here; consistently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredible still how he left the club and the manner in which it happened. Whilst, given his recent injury record, it was understandable that KS was released, what was incomprehensible and quite unforgivable was the fact that, instead of a Club statement confirming he was being released and thanking him for his contribution, KS was obliged to release his own statement on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to happen a lot doesn't it, it's a bit of a cliché but we have gone through a fairly long period now where players that were not considered good enough for us or were criticised by the fan base for being crap lazy etc seem to have flourished at other clubs.

Goes back to my point a few days ago, that very few of our recruits seemed bad on paper, but didn’t flourish here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomThumb84 Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 3 hours ago, JonDolman said: I thought Pato gave everything for us. Not sure how he could run any more than he did. I have seen him for Swansea and there's no difference in his ability or effort. The difference is he is in his perfect position which he never played for us. When he receives the ball there are always passing options. He has loads more touches than he did with us and most importantly he has loads more touches in attacking positions. For us this season he would have had balls going over his head a lot of the time. I think it was right to let him go. It's a bit like Dasilva imo. I wouldn't be surprised if he does really well at a different club but we aren't suited to him. Disagree. You can run around all day and have no influence, look like you are busy. Pato, whilst having all the ability to drive us on, was a ghost a lot of the time. ”Hiding” whilst looking busy is a common thing in football. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
