EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
Think his mindset and approach has changed in the last couple of games. In the early games this year he seemed to be a bit hesitant and hanging back at contests.But ..but..the coaches are all hopeless.....
Anyway Paddy was always going to come good. It takes time and we are all impatient.
His class was never in doubt.
Spot on GB, there’s a noticeable difference with his mindset and approach, he was just sitting on the outskirts in no mans land looking hesitant, with little impact...Think his mindset and approach has changed in the last couple of games. In the early games this year he seemed to be a bit hesitant and hanging back at contests.
But last night he was great, especially in the first half...going in grabbing the ball and bursting away is the Dow we all want to see.
Love what he's doing at the moment, but found his comments after the game interesting.
Asked about his turnaround and said something along the lines of a lift in training standards. Not sure if he was talking about himself specifically, or the group as a whole.
The funny thing with that though, is that he's more likely to be raw and honest, rather than reserved and diplomatic (clichéd).To be fair I think he was a bit nervous having his first post game interview, don't think he said everything the way he wanted in his head.
fu** yeah. Was so pumped watching that first quarter - he was unbelievable.
Best player on the ground by a mile in that first quarter and whilst he couldn't replicate it over the remaining 3 quarters he was still one of the best out there.
Looking like he is going to be a goal kicking midfielder which is gold.Got a feeling he won’t be dropped for a long time….needs to build the tank but is starting to come good on a regular basis…next step
25 touches and 2 goals

If he can build even half of the endurance that Ed and Walsh have… he’ll be a hell of a player. Those side steps of his are magic.Dow's burst speed and side-step are creating havoc with the opposition who think they have him covered, then he's gone.
Hoping he continues to build that tank, work on the defensive side of his game, and get more time in the middle, as he is a point of difference and complements the Cripps/Kennedy/Ed Curnow/Setterfield types with the Walsh/SPS/Williams types.
Your welcome HBFHappy to be proven wrong with Paddy.
Amazing what happens when he is played in the midfield.
Hope he can keep it up.
I like how Dow just hovers around when the balls on the ground being fought over by some players, then he just plucks it out really quickly and bolts.
Reminds me of a fox or something, stalking it's prey until just the right moment, Bang!
It's a different motion to most midfielders (imo)
Your welcome HBF
It was a glimpse into what’s to come, can’t wait til he starts putting it altogether for a full games...His first quarter was damn good on Saturday night.
With Cripps and Walsh getting all the attention he really should be able to take full advantage of this as his career continues.
