| Pato and a new wing back 23:22 - Aug 16 with 4909 views | magicdaps10 | Looks like Pato was a silly boy on the bench tonight and I would be rightfully unhappy also for what he done.....we need to be streetwise and then he does what he does. Upping the need for a new wing back as Joel L looks to be out for a while. How that isn't given as a free kick on Joel L is beyond understanding. |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 11:39 - Aug 17 by Dr_Parnassus | It’s served him well so far. He’s now a £10m striker with Premier League interest. The Piroes are proud people, they don’t take disrespect lightly. |

| Pato and a new wing back on 11:37 - Aug 17 by Dr_Parnassus | I didn’t say him wanting to go to the Premier League was anything to do with it. You made that connection, not me. I said, quite factually, Piroe and his family don’t like Martin - it’s as simple as that and it was an issue from the get go. Piroe wants to leave, of course the Prem is the preferred destination. But the two things are separate. |
Its not factual at all that Piroe doesn't get on with RM, its your assumption, and that may or may not be right but its got fÜck all do do with fact |  | |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 11:57 - Aug 17 by nantywatcher | "Same with Piroe, look at him now - not interested. He wanted out and away from the manager at the end of the season." Nonsense! He could not possibly have tried any harder last night. He covered every blade of grass on the pitch searching and finding space to receive the ball. There' a bit of anxiety in his play that all strikers get when they are going through a barren spell. |
Not nonsense at all. Wanna bet that he won’t come near his stats from last season? Attempts, goals, assists. Take your pick. |  |

I'm talking about last night - not the next six months. He put in a really solid shift last night after making a very poor back pass in the first half for which the crowd rightly had a go at him and he was off the pace several times, but he kept up with Obafemi sprinting from his own half in the 92nd minute ( and that takes effort!) So I'm sorry to say I am sticking to my stance and your comment was nonsense (but understanding that there is no way on earth you can understand the work that is being done off the ball if you are watching on a screen.) |  | |  |

Or simply being unreasonable to the situation. 12th after 4 games and calling for the manager to be sacked would make us the laughing stock and rightly so. |  |

Its from situations like this a club will start to rise or start to disintegrate, I am hoping for the kick up the rear will succeed. |  | |  |

I certainly felt from being there and the noise the crowd were making that we had turned a corner. I think Joey made a massive difference, he had fire in his belly and wanted to make an impact. Hopefully the 2 late goals will spur people on rather than knock the confidence, the team was rocking and the stadium was.........the corner can certainly be turned and very soon I believe. I certainly feel the swing going in the right direction, no need to lose heads and spout rubbish in anger or frustration. We need to get our heads down in the next few weeks and certainly need to get a few heads out the club door(Fulton needs to shifted for sure). |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 19:08 - Aug 17 with 856 views | jack247 | Martin has hammered him for that and rightly so. Whatever your opinion on the player or the manager, that’s rank stupidly and merits reprimanding. |  | |  |

That was a better performance than Blackpool, which in itself was better than Rotherham. Blackburn was woeful. Joe Allen was clearly a big part of the improvement. I wouldn’t have seen 2-2 as a disaster before the game. Clearly we imploded at the end and that’s indefensible. Others have pointed out it happened twice towards the end of last season. It’s a worry if we panic when teams go kitchen sink against us. Needs to be sorted out pronto. While I completely agree with comments about seeing games out, I’ve seen one or two posts criticising Obafemi at the end. A pacy striker in a central position who thinks he can go through on goal has to do it, even at 2-1 in injury time. If a ball is played down the line, or you’re not likely to get a shooting chance, then fair enough, go to the corner. It was just a phenomenal tackle and even then, Piroe on top form would have likely finished it. |  | |  |

To be fair, Martin hasn't come out and said who it was although it's no secret. I don't understand why he done it, players can't be middle coddled and I don't see why there is such a song and dance when they are called out for something......the wage they earn, it shouldn't be an issue if they do something wrong. |  |

He’s made it pretty obvious. I’m paraphrasing, but he said something along the lines of ‘it wasn’t a young player, he knows what he’s done and he hasn’t helped the team’. Strong words and I don’t normally like managers hanging players out to dry. I think it’s deserved here to be honest, but the proof of that will be how Paterson reacts to it. |  | |  |

Good post, it looks to me that we need to shift a few before we can get players in. We desperately need a pacy WB and or an attacking FB. Sorinola is struggling to adapt and the substitutions exposed him big time last night. |  | |  |

Nonsense that Piroe isn’t interested. Best way to get noticed is by playing well and scoring |  |

...and who exactly would be our back up CM? Liam Walsh? Unbelievable the stick Fulton is getting. Get rid of Walsh, he is not contributing anything. |  |

Walsh is injured so both options you give are not an option presently. Shift Fulton(easier said and done) and we then have the availability to do so. |  |

| Pato and a new wing back on 22:19 - Aug 17 with 663 views | Badlands | I'd look at Naughton in front of back three or even central defensive midfield. Experienced, has been central CB for a season, good vision and doesn’t shirk responsibility. Christie in the frame to return apparently! |  |

It certainly is, but if you want to leave and you have no interest in playing for a manager you don’t like or agree with then it’s easier said than done. I’m not speculating here, this is fact. |  |
