Glatzel and Paterson

Another disappointing performance from Glatzel last night. I keep looking for the good points that many of our supporters claim to see in him. I'm wishing him every game to prove me wrong. So far he's way short of a £5.5m pound player. No pace, crumbles under a challenge and has missed quite a few good chances. I just don't see the basics needed to be a successful forward at this level.

Paterson on the other hand.....no technical skills but incredible strength and determination and the knack of getting goals. A slow start to the season for him due to injury and not having a pre season, but even though he's not a natural forward he's very effective when fully fit. I don't think they should be played together. When Tomlin is fit he should be played in behind Paterson. Even if Tomlin was unavailable I'd stick another midfielder in there instead. I'd be happy if we could recoup £2m for Glatzel to be honest. Another player that we've paid well over the odds for. We've been rubbish in the transfer market for ages.

Agree I so wanted glatzel to do well but he just cant finish it's like hes trying too hard ,he does the link up play well ,playing other people in but hes a striker and needs to be hitting the back of the net

Mate. Let's be real now, I'm one of those supporters you say you don't understand what we see in him. You're being unfair because you're making out Glatzel plays like last night on a regular occourance. It was his worst performance for us by a country mile, to the point I myself was pleading for him to come off after just the 50th minute. He couldn't hold the ball up at all, he dribbled into danger and at one point lost the ball in a terrible position and almost cost us a goal, and he also didn't (and never does) look comfortable when he's through one on one. He seems to panic infront of goal and even though the angle early in the game from Vaulks' superb run and pass into Glatzel, he still should have scored it, especially for his reputation and price tag.

At the end of the day Glatzel on a regular basis shows good trickery and uses the ball quite well, but his decision making, confidence, and that "x factor" a striker of his reputation should have just isn't there. Like I said he's never ever been as bad as he was last night, so I don't like these posts being mate after a bad game making out he's always this bad, because he isn't, he's very useful sometimes.

I agree I've had enough of him now because when he's his usual self it's still nowhere near what Paterson offers us, but for someone who hasn't been staking a strong claim for a starting position he can't afford to have as bad nights as he did last night for us. So I agree with everything you say to a point, just don't make out he's been as bad as that before, because he hasn't. The best way to get your point across is to be as honest as you can, saying things like "ANOTHER disappointing performance" is the reason there's debates about players because certain fans such as myself feel the need to stick up for him a little bit with unfair criticism, yes he had a horrendously awful game but don't make out it's a regular occurrence.

I've yet to see a good performance I thought last night was the norm. We keep saying not enough chances are being created but when they come he cocks up every one.the one on one last night was dreadful

Paterson with out doubt is our first choice striker.

He scores goals and works his bollocks off not much more you can ask.

Appreciate your comments and views. You said that I shouldn't make out he is as bad as he was last night all of the time. In actual fact I don't believe that I specifically mentioned last night...my comments were really aimed at his general standard of performance since he's been here. He has no pace so that was not just a comment on last night's performance, sadly it's evident in every game. He crumbles under a strong challenge in every game...he simply isn't a physically strong and robust centre forward. He played out a bit wider last night but doesn't have the pace to run the channels and he's missed a bucket load of decent chances so he's not a natural goal scorer. I hate criticising our players that's why I said I would love to be proved wrong. However, that sad fact is that Glatzel isn't the player we all hoped he would be. And for a fraction of the price Paterson is far more effective as a centre forward.

That wasn’t Glatzels worst performance... still rubbish but he’s played much worse

His one big plus point is he is consistent.

The problem is his consistency consists of being consistently shit

Cant argue with any of that. No pace, no strength, no finish.
