Paddy won us a point.

I thoght he was poor today. Kept trying to thread the ball into the box rather than playing the easy ball to the overlapping player. When he finally did, Cokunga was able to look up and pick out Calde with a low hard cross.

Very poor player, so un-fit, it's now plain why he was available Burke deserved the sack for just that 1 signing.

This. He clearly has talent, but little application.

I thought he was terrible when he came on ambled about lost the ball countless times, failed to cross when out wide and generally contributed nothing

Brighton factually.....
I thought as ever he tried to play the intricate good looking ball, when a straight no nonsense ball was required. Seems a selfish player always trying to make himself look good and clever, when in actual fact he should be thinking about the team.

So you bring on a creative player with 15 minutes to go and expect an impact. Not reasonable. Either give him much more time or don't bother. All they are doing at the moment is "sabotaging him"

And they bring on a 100% left footed young player and play him on the right. So they are sabotaging him too!

Dreadful management

Why not? It only takes a second to do something creative.

If you put a left footed player on the right, it means that when they cut it, they will have the ball on the correct foot with which to shoot from. Solly was quite effective last season when doing exactly this.

Not at his sparkling best for those moments, against a team who'd largely parked the bus, but that is hardly enough time to be labelled a failure or worthless. He can make a difference coming off the bench, but shouldn't be wholly expected to do so on every occasion. Sometimes i would think his presence alone, in the form of not just his scabbiness of beard, puts defenders on edge.

Made several bad decisions when in good positions yesterday. I'd love to understand what people actually see in this bloke, he's an impact sub, and won't ever be anything more than that for us.

Without much impact by most accounts?

Paddy has to be one of the most frustrating signings we have made in years.
It's fairly obvious there is talent abound somewhere hidden inside just waiting to explode. The problem is it just won't come out, it's there but lost.

Some of the comments seem a bit harsh to me.

Yesterday, I thought was his worst performance (created next to nothing), but prior to that he has practically been our only creative option when he's come off the bench. Defensively, he actually won a tackle yesterday and chased back the length of the pitch and intercepted the ball in his own penalty area, which is more than I've seen Texeira do (from a defensive perspective) in any of the games he's played in all season.
