Who Are Rovers? Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Any chance you'll take him off our hands permanently? Please He hasn't been that bad for us actually. Obviously, you can see he isn't match fit just yet, be he runs his socks off, and he is a clever player. Possibly not the striker we are looking for to partner Baldock next season, if he stays, but he is a tidy player, and I wouldn't mind to see him come here, as long as it was a cheap deal.

skinner05 Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I think we'd let him go for nothing so it would just come down to if you could meet his wage demands One of the worst first touches i've seen from a Pro footballer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 He's a trier. Only got the one goal but set up a few with his positive running. He was good for Burnley in the championship I'm surprised he hasn't got a place in your squad, I'd be happy to see him join in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good for Burnley in the championship I'm surprised he hasn't got a place in your squad, I'd be happy to see him join in the summer. Last summer we signed Vaughan, Paterson, Stead, Lopez and Carr. Then in January we also signed Wells We have spent the last two/three months of the season playing with the diminutive Wells up top on his own. We sent Stead, Paterson and Lopez out on loan despite Vaughan being out for the season with a knee injury. The fact Robins did that shows he was desperate to try and get someone to take them off our hands this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 He hasn't lacked effort but in front of goal, he's been poor. Yesterday, he had a good chance which required a left foot shot but instead he shot with his right and the ball went predictably wide of the post. In other games, he's wasted good opportunities. I think I'd wait to see who is available at the end of the season before committing to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Would be a good player in this league with a decent preseason behind him. That chance yesterday shows his quality in making the chance but then lack of composure with the finish. Think if we signed him and he got a goal or two early in the season then he could easily get 15-20 goals for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you'd finish higiher this year if I'm being honest, Clayton is a class act, we'll take him on a free I'm sure! Vaughan was top scorer in the league by November. Hardly played a game since. He'd be a premier league player if he wasn't so injury prone Clayton is our best player but sounds like he can be a dick in the dressing room. Paterson knocked him out in training earlier this season with a swift jab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him scoring lots of goals for Scunny back in the day and his record at Burnley wasn't too shabby (was Cotts his manager there?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Do The Dziekanowski Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Paterson for El Abd? He's a rock at the back but unfortunately he's had falling out with Cotterill We don't really want a negative person on the training ground so I think its best we move him on He'll be the difference between Play Offs and Relegation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 He started well but has struggled of late. I think there is definitely a league one striker in him if he regains confidence. Even if Baldock and JET stay we still need an alternative up front, the question is can we find a better one than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Anyone that thinks Paterson isn't good enough is mad. When he has played in a front three with baldock and jet, they have been a nightmare for opposition and it has been part reason for baldock's regular goals. That from three would frighten championship teams and I for one hope we sign him on a free and keep baldock and jet.

pongo88 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 His goal scoring record prior to joining City is approx 1 goal every 4 games - i e 11 / 12 per season. You wouldn't sign him if you want a prolific scorer but you might if you want a fast player who contributes to the build up and helps another player (e g Baldock) score. The disadvantage is he's not very tall and a better option might be bigger player who could provide a better threat in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Shocking, really bad. He's a shadow of the player he was, amazing how quickly he has lost it. Umm, errr, he spent two years at City losing it! Not that quick. He went from very willing trier who couldn't score to trier who couldn't score. Loved by all at City though as he ran around a lot.

bcfctim Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Works hard but tends to disappear at times, shown some flashes of quality though. Looks like a lesser version of Baldock really, would be good as backup but if Baldock was to go I'd want someone better as his replacement.
