Alex Neil was impressed by Anthony Patterson after a great performance away at Wigan...
DESERVED
"Patterson is in the team because he deserves to be in the team. It's not got any relevance to anybody else [or their situation]."
LEARNING
"In the last game [against Burton] he probably made one kick that he shouldn't have done but he's still a youngster, still learning. But I thought his management of the game against Wigan was excellent. I thought he made saves when we needed him, I thought he came and collected a few crosses when we needed him. He should take huge confidence from that and hopefully he can continue with that."
DENIED
"We denied them a lot. They had one moment I think when we made the pitch long, Bailey played the ball down the channel and we weren’t set up behind it, they slipped [Lang] in and Patto made a really good save. That changed the dynamic of the game because in recent weeks, that’s damaged us."
THREAT
“Equally we were probably more of a threat because we started deeper and were breaking into space, rather than being higher and coming onto the ball. All these little bits and bobs give me something to think about ahead of the games coming up.”
