He's from Cov you know

Vibes

 

[Saddlebrains]

As a sales rep for the retro clobber it seems

 

[SBT]

I was told it was ridiculous to think that a player who got bombed out of MLS for not being match fit may not be able to contribute for some time.

 

[Cally Fedora]

Depth. We might well need him at some point.

Like tonight?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Was a strange signing and seems to have pushed Rodrigues and Bassette( before tonight) away from the first team squad

 

[Cally Fedora]

Like tonight?

No. We had Wright and Emc tonight.

I don’t think Rodrigues is up to it

 

[shmmeee]

In case Rudoni gets injured…

slow evening on the website

I can't imagine when

Cover for Julian Gray?

 

[Cally Fedora]

No, nor me. Good job Wright, EMC and Rudoni have never shown any signs of getting injured.

My point is we don't know though do we ?
We have invested in both Rodrigues and Bassette and they have been with us all season getting up to speed . Both start making the bench and making cameos then we sign Paterson who struggled for a poor side in the MSL and was always going to take time to get up to speed . Once we signed Grimes he just seemed an odd signing .
I sincerely hope I'm proven wrong but I like to see youth given a chance over a potentially "deadwood" signing

Still wouldn't let him anywhere near the match squad.
More chance if a second keeper coming on tonight.

I don’t think Rodrigues deserves a chance just because he’s young.

He was always a gamble given where he was coming from, probably just isn’t even at Paterson’s level at the moment so no point him getting in the squad.

He still has barely played any meaningful minutes for the club.

If they’d come on at left back it might have worked

That wasn't the point I was trying to make . It's rather why spend so much of the season getting him up to level required only to sign a journeyman ahead of him ?

 

[steve101]

Not sure. Haven't been impressed at all with his cameos. On saying that he would have played better than Wright tonight surely.

 

[Bad Boy]

Why did we sign Jamie Paterson?

To butter all the batches

 

[pusbccfc]

He would have been miles better than Haji tonight.

Did we sign Jamie Paterson?

Pato’s Picks

 

[GC1976]

Like I said in another post Sean McGuire esq signing … got abuse from one member for suggesting it ….

 

[PVA]

Personally I think he's doing a good job as head of social media.

 

[ccfctommy]

It's reminding me a bit of when we resigned Carl Baker in the League Two season.

 

[wingy]

It's a reward for tapping up Grimes.

 

[covcity4life]

The question is why not? I doubt we chose him over anyone else. We just took him as a low cost option to add to what we have.

 

[AOM]

Still got a feeling Paterson will score a pivotal goal at some point this season, even if it's just from a 5 minute cameo towards the end of a game

 

[Lamps]

We brought him in when we couldn't bring in any player under contract. Waste of a wage for a few months at worst. An insurance policy for a few positions if our injury problems get worse. He isn't match fit but he is experienced.

 

[pusbccfc]

We're dropping like flies. A time will come when he's needed. Two midfielders currently out. Mason-Clarke is carrying an injury and Haji looks hopeless. He'll get time soon.

Bassette is nowhere near good enough at the moment. He needs to go out on loan to League One next season.

 

[Tommo1993]

Thought it might be a shrewd addition. But yeah, fuck knows. Maybe it might still work out.

 

[AOM]

Bassette is nowhere near good enough at the moment. He needs to go out on loan to League One next season.

Rodrigues could do with a loan and regular mens football as well.
Lampard seemed to actually really rate him as well in recent comments, but he's obviously not going to feature for us anytime soon
