Where did Pattersons kicking game come from anyway. Did he just pipe up in training last week with "You know what boss I happen to be spit hot at goalkicking"

Brilliant though without a doubt. on the night I'm not sure even Holly would have kicked all 12

Ironic that we started with a major worry and now we have about 14 decent goalkickers!

Unbelievable kicking performance from LP.

As a matter of interest for the anoraks, has a Fax player ever kicked 12 from 12 in a competetive match before?

The boy done good....made it look easy!

Is that sarcasm Tony, or do you mean that ?


Paterson is a quality wing/centre I.M.O.

Not the right time to criticise (if there ever IS a right time), but LP never goes for the outside when he's on the wing, and never draws the man or uses his winger when he's in the centre. Worrincey was wasted last night. LP always tries hard tho, and a fantastic kicking performance, but it'll be nice to see Goddard add quality centre play to the team

I noticed he didn't have to do much driving the ball up due to the amount of possession we had during the match - so no need to help take pressure off the forwards.

I think he should be given the chance as first choice kicker and see if he can keep consistency in more pressurised matches.

Lets hope Pattersons kicking stands up when the pressure's really on, he kicked very well on Thursday but it wouldn't have mattered if he'd of missed 4 or 5 kicks. Just hope everyone doesn't expect him to kick at 100% every week now!

The negativity on here is astonishing sometimes

What I can't figure out is why LP didn't step up before now? I am sure we've struggled on with Ben Black and James Haley before in matches when Gov's been off the field and, while Patty has been on the field all along Haven't we

im sure MC knew of his kicking ability, just think he prefers to stick with one kicker where needed & im sure Gov will resume the kicking duties when back in the team, followed by Lee.

Chill out fella. James is okay but, as we saw, Patty is awsome!
