Happy birthday to you GB hopefully we can give you 3 points as a present ?. Ed025 do you think it would be good to play dcl and beto on Saturday it would be good to see if they can make it work. My preferred line up would be a 4 3 1 2. Just wondered what anyone else thinks
Pickford
Braithwaite
Tarks
Myko
Godfrey
Patterson
Onana
Garner
Doucoure
Beto
Dcl.

Be nice seeing if could work Andy yes, but atm I don't think we have the tools, no width or quality of crosses in that line up imo which would be ok if we have some creativity centrally which again we don't, think Gomes has to start Saturday, not only for his 2nd half performance other night but think he is our best dead ball taker and our team needs it especially in a game I feel will be extremely scrappy cagey and set pieces from both teams could be vital.

Patterson likes to get forward has pace and can cross a ball. Playing him in front of Godfrey would be worth trying. But he won’t.
Gomes for Dacoure who’s form has been poor.

Patterson is absolutely shocking at crossing a ball, how many decent balls has he put over when he's played? Sorry mate, but not sure how you come to that conclusion. He needs to improve a lot before he can cement a place in our team.

No he’s not bp. Watched him play for Rangers a lot when I was up there, lads got a really good delivery. Problem is in our set up full backs are not encouraged to overlap. So push him further forward and give him a go. Seriously he won’t be any worse than Young or Harrison.

Can't agree at all mate, apart from he's probably better than Harrison at getting the ball over. I've watched him with my own eyes when he's played and it's left a distinct impression on me that his delivery needs a lot of work. I like the lad and think he's going to be a top full back in a few years but that is definitely one area of his game that he needs to work on.
My Dad is from Glasgow and a massive gers fan so I also watch them on a regular basis with him, when our games don't clash. He looked very good in Scotland but its not much of a comparison, their Premier league to ours, really.
I've had to look at his stats to ensure that I'm not making sh*t up and they don't really backbup your claim mate. He only made 27 appearances for Rangers, scoring 2 and assisting only once. He made 12 league appearances which is understandable considering he had Tavernier ahead of him in the pecking order.

Can't argue with that Blue. Lads not ready for premiership yet, totally different standard north of the border and yes his stats hardly scream out tho with better coaching and perhaps a loan away the lad can become our RB for years to come.

I think a loan move would do him good, Mocker. As you day, he isn't quite ready or up to speed with the league, mainly because he hasn't played too much whether it be through injury or just not selected. He has potential to be a really good full back but bow just isn't his time. And his crossing is woeful.

Sent last reply too early there!
His crossing is woeful but, as you say, with better coaching maybe that aspect of his game can improve.
