Paddy had an average day in the midfield by our standards but a good game relative to his form over the last couple of seasons. He’s an adequate replacement but well behind our first choice midfielders. You do have to acknowledge his determination to win a place in the 22 and his endeavour when he gets a run.
One of the hallmarks of Vossy’s coaching is his honesty and relationship with players. It was obvious that they were trying to get Paddy to the bench to be subbed and it would have been wrong for Vossy to deny that he was about to be subbed. Vossy’s comments were just right for the situation; reward for effort.
