I think we could be four, five, six points better off.
We could be staying up being top of the league right now.
I know, but that's what it is.
It's funny how it works, right?
But what I will say is I think I'll answer the question.
I said it on here and I was driving up yesterday still saying, you've signed Patterson, who's just been promoted from the Championship last season.
You've got to play him, right?
I was adamant you've got to play him.
But then that's probably why I'm not a football manager.
Alex Neal is, right?
And Alex Neal stuck with Crocombe.
He made a smart save five minutes in, done pretty much everything he had to do.
You can't knock him, right?
And I guess now it is almost like you could say Pats has been brought in to keep him honest, right?
And if his form does dip off...
We've got a very capable person to come in.
I think it was interesting, these comments after the game, I think he said something along the lines of he was consulting with Sunderland a little bit as well.
And it was maybe his case of like, he's not playing a lot of games and also probably going to be a sort of game where we do a lot of kicking from goal kicks.
And maybe there was some concerns about throwing him straight in after not playing for six months.
So maybe it's a case of building Patterson up a bit slower.
