Binky Griptite Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hutchinson @ cb Palmer Lopes Played well today, we looked solid defensively which is no mean feat considering the changes. Well done everyone. With Bannan bad and getting a game under his belt on his way back to match sharpness I'm optimistic for next week and the December run in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lopez really gives us something extra, especially at home. He's very good on the ball and we need it when we don't have Hutch in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crookesowl Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thought Palmer was woeful in the last half hour. He looked tired, his body language was not right. Lopez and Hutch were quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Thought all 3 were very good. Hutch was solid and got his obligatory yellow card. Lopez slotted in nicely in midfield, showed good passing and ball control but was also not afraid to get stuck in. Palmer was solid defensively, bags of energy too and was a constant outlet, just a shame his crossing was not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Don't tell BC1867. He says, despite professional opinion to the contrary, that Palmer was sheeite. Edited December 6, 2015 by theowlsman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee A Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lopez a clear step up on Semedo, glad to see him on the field at the start today Hutchinson was sound, we all knew he would be Palmer had a very decent game, got forward well, only really let down by some poor crosses in 2nd half, but good to see him getting forward often.

Binky Griptite Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thought Palmer was woeful in the last half hour. He looked tired, his body language was not right. Lopez and Hutch were quality. Put that performance against a Hunt performance... he did more of what a defender needs to do (particularly against Derby) and also got forward well... he put a peach of a cross in in the first half and gave Derby something to think about going the other way which probably contributed to their lack of cutting edge.

Earlsfieldowl Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Palmer is a better defender than Hunt but the latter is better going forward - we needed Palmer today. Lopez is the key addition for me, such a step up from Semedo and held the midfield together and gave it structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lopez is the key addition for me, such a step up from Semedo and held the midfield together and gave it structure True. When we have to use the likes of Helan and Semedo we look noticeably worse, cringe when their names are on the team sheet. Players like Lopez and even Palmer can come in without significantly ( or at all ) weakening the side, we also didn't miss Tom Lees today which is a real positive Even with the injuries we have, confident the side we put out today can get a result at Cardiff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Lopez played very well I thought. I thought the midfield today was very effective. I'd stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I thought all the three " stand ins" were fantastic tiday . Hutch was superb as CB , Palmer had his best game for a long time ,and Hunt may struggle to get back in . Lopez slotted in brilliantly as the Guard dog in front of the back four.

Kopparberg Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I like Semedo, but Lopez is suited to how we should play. Looks like CC may know that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Great post. Totally accurate. All 3 were superb. Lopez looks class and is not scared to mix it. Hutch at CB - Wow! And Palmer.............................................................that was a great afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
