Pieman Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 As per OP both were outstanding tonight. Paterson marshalled the midfield superbly. Time after time he pulled our players up the pitch and killed Wigan in their tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nile Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Playing 2 up top makes such a big difference, it gives us more options going forward, we need to scrap the Gregory and 1 either side stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday_Jack Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I rarely feel sorry for professional footballers but last night Gregory got a little sympathy from me. He was absolutely outstanding and deserved his goal, ran himself into the ground and his work for Patterson's goal is something we haven't had in the team for a number of years (O'Grady perhaps the last to do this sort of job?). I honestly think if the ball had fell to him in the 60th minute he would put that away, maybe a bit of tired legs crept in. He almost had too much time rather instinctively finishing it. Last night was the type of performance i was hoping to see 3/4 games ago...the signs looked good last night as it had a bit of everything but the work rate and desire to run for each other was very good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devonstrix Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Fantastic to read some positivity on here after a great result last night, which I predicted. Tbf, I predict a win every game so I’m bound to be right eventually! Hoping we can put a good run together now and stop some of this sack Moore nonsense which has been gaining traction recently. Like others, I can’t wait for Windass to join the squad, as I think he will cause mayhem at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 They worked so well together last night, Paterson especially was immense, what a finish for someone with "no footballing ability" hitting a half volley like that is one of the hardest skills going and he hit it perfectly. Gregory deserved a goal as well, he could do with getting another soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 It feels to me, but I haven't checked, that our record when Paterson and Brown start is much better than when they don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash77 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thought pato was immense individually and for how the team dynamic changed with him central. Gregory grafts but not clinical so would be interesting to see how berahino fares with pato if given a chance, with windas left and brown lb to break lower placed teams down.

CircleSeven Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I thought Gregory looked a bit tired last night and wasn’t holding the ball up as well as in other games. But he still managed to hit the bar, make a goal for Paterson and give the defence headaches all night! He is 33 so Saturday then Tuesday is a tough schedule and I was surprised he didn’t get subbed with 20 mins to go. Paterson was also quite wasteful with his passing on occasion but he was absolutely horrible to the Wigan team last night. Right in their faces for the whole night. He is a big nasty bully who runs around all night, roughing up the opposition and causing absolute chaos. He also hit a crazy good volley earlier in the game and his strike for the goal was fantastic. We need him on the pitch if we want to win games. Also he looks like a badger. Which should be his nickname really. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at home to Oxford they shouldn't, their quality should come through. Paterson and Gregory great for a battle, not if you want to see some football being played. I want to see wins playing football doesn’t win you games have you watched us this year? Plymouth our fought us Shrewsbury, Ipswich was ineffective play with your heart in your sleeves with a few s##tho uses in there and you’ll fight for a victory Patterson nearly scored two goals tonight that could have easily been a goal of the month contender he looked sharp and was very effective Gregory worked his socks off appearing in both boxes in open play snd if it wasn’t for his efforts chasing everything Patterson wouldn’t have got his goal both were fantastic tonight they helped us ground out and excellent away win at Wigan not many teams will do that this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
