The most important thing about the Development Team’s 2-1 loss to Hull at Cardiff City Stadium last night has to be that summer signing from Hearts, Callum Paterson played for the first time in over nine months after he sustained a serious knee ligament injury in a game against Kilmarnock on 27 December.
Paterson was one of Neil Warnock’s earliest summer signings and his injury has meant that he has been something of a forgotten man as the team have shot to the top of the Championship on the back of a record breaking five consecutive wins to start the season off.
However, despite all of the excitement caused by the likes of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Loic Damour in the first month of the campaign, I think it’s fair to say that many observers would think the capture of Paterson on a three year contract for just a compensation fee of £450,000 may represent our manager’s best bit of business, provided he can make a full recovery from his injury.
Paterson took his first, very tentative, steps towards that recovery in terms of match fitness last night. Frankly, if he had played like he did in his forty five minute outing and been fully fit, I would have rated his performance at something like four out of ten, but the object of the exercise was to come through his first game back unscathed – Warnock spoke of Paterson needing two or three outings with the Development team before he can be considered for the first team and so reasoned that he wouldn’t be seen at senior level until after next month’s international break.

Based on everything I’ve seen, heard and read about him, it’s easy to see why our manager likes Paterson, he’s big, strong, mobile and gets up and down the right hand side while also being a danger from set pieces – last night, the most impressive part of his game was his ability to hit the occasional clever pass, but he was largely off the pace, pretty immobile and lost the ball carelessly at times.
