Caused us a few problems first half being nowhere near Tarks which they exploited. He's fine as a backup RB but I won't have any disappointment at JOB missing out if we signed a proper RB tbh.

Two hours after the final whistle, imagine putting a shift in on the pitch whilst your partners in labour !
she gave birth last night.
Boss 24 hours for him.

Oh, good lad though, lot of players wouldn’t have played just hours after the birth but he knew how in the shit we were.

Feel likes he's been found out a bit as an RB. Initially his height and power seems to give him a bit of an edge there but that all seems to have disappeared and teams know how to nullify him.
Spends most of his time now passing backwards or if he does get a cross in it's pretty aimless and ineffective.
Wouldn't be against trying Patterson again as an ineffective full back on both sides just means teams double up easily on our best attacking players.

Agree on the first half but can't get on board with Patterson. He looked absolutely terrible in pre-season to the extent I think it's time to call it on him.

Jake should have either been rested or played in the centre last night he did ok doesn’t have the pace or crossing ability to play the position properly can’t believe our tallest player is taking long throws

Largely stunk the gaff out so far. Terrible defensively today as well.
Whether it's Moyes or recruitment, we've got 2 RBs sitting on the bench watching him there. Not to mention Aznou who can supposedly play both sides.

Yea, horrible game. How he made the ninety I’ve no idea. I like him, but up against a pacy, tricky winger he was found out time and time again.

That should be a given though... 6ft 6 CB against 5ft 6 winger down the byline... there is a reason full backs tend to not be 6ft 6.
Not his fault and I'd like to see him resume his career where he obviously should be playing asap.

Two horrible fullbacks.
Mykolenko picking the ball up in inverted positions was painful to watch.
JOB can still be a really good centre half but he’s been found out at right back now.
How we didn’t sign a right back in the window baffles me.

Job doesn't get a game for Ireland.
Some way to go yet before he's anything other than a 6 foot 4 question mark imo.

Square peg, round hole - itis strikes a Moyes team again.
Should have been addressed in the summer and we will pay for it.

He has started our last 4 games was found out last night but last season he had Harrison in front who helped him out defensively last night he was 2vs1 all the second half until dibling came on

Can’t blame the lad, it’s entirely on the club that he’s playing there. He’s done ok in most games, hope it doesn’t destroy his confidence.
