class not gas Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just needed a goal for a perfect performance, thought he was outstanding today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eardun Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Agree. Worked his socks off. Touch and control was better too - held the ball up well. Was wishing he'd score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHAGa Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 He has started 7 games for us. We have W4 D2 L1. I don't think that's a coincidence. Obviously our recent form coincides with a variety of factors and good performances from numerous players, but I don't think you can underestimate the role Matty has played in it. His work on and off the ball has been tremendous. A shame he hasn't been able to grab a few goals, moreso for the fact that he deserves them than it being an issue, but he hasn't let that get to him and has continued to do great work off the ball and in setting other players up. Well done Matty (and the rest of the squad!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robin_unreliant Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 If all the comments above were about Patterson I would agree. Personally I thought Taylor put in a shift but showed very little apart from effort. Three of us went and all said the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Army 75 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 like I said before. I think he's a very good footballer. Hope he gets s goal before the end of season. Deserves one . Also think Pattersons form . Has something to do with Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Really excellent performance from the snake today. Could see the value in the nuisance factor in recent weeks but had the impression his ball skills were really quite limited. Based on today, not so. Really am excited by him and Djuric plus one or two more. It'd be remiss not to mention Tammy today though. That was the best I've seen him yet I think. Good skill, good awareness, tireless running and absolutely flawless hold up play particularly at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Someone here a few days ago rating Matty "borderline crap footballer"-dont remember the username??.. Maybe should stop sniffing the Ajax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stogursey red Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Turning out to be one of our best recent signings, he is the player we have been missing for a few years, great movement, never gives the defence a minute to rest, and a great link up player, he will get the best out of who ever he is with up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 So basically what we are saying is it’s no coincidence that Matty has helped us to stay up and kept the SAGS down …….. oh and doesn’t he suit red much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you all stopped watching when his first couple of passes went astray? I think the way he comes short and links with the midfield has been key to us getting our passing game going. I am genuinely surprised at the quality of his movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Not (yet) the goalscorer we will need next season, but he offers a hell of a lot as a support striker. Work rate was excellent again, runs himself into the ground for the cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstart Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 From what I've seen he is a very intelligent football player - by that I mean he knows just where to be, he's a sod for a defender to mark, clever little nudges on defenders when the ball is in the air etc etc - makes it very hard to play against him and that has definitely created space for others in the team. A few goals will cement his reputation as a City player and I still think he could turn into the absolute bargain of the century for a Championship player.

Septic Peg Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Said it from day 1 and I'll say it again. He runs around like he's got a fly up his backside. Defenders just don't know where to put themselves. Mark him and the other City strikers utilise the space, or ignore him and he sets up a goal. One full pre-season and with Djuric alongside him, getting the balls in the air and I think we'll have a quality striking partnership. £300k for what was in essence a diversionary tactic but has turned into an absolute bonus. Rovers fans will be absolutely seething tonight... *HHHHHIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. His entire career has been lower league, so in terms of Championship football he's a novice youngster. I hate the expression "one for the future" but he definitely is one. He just needs one goal and off he'll go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
