PortlandOwl Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Both full backs had decent games in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exceptionally_Large Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Running out of steam in the second half and I felt he left a lot of space open on that right side. Never really looks bothered unless the ball is in front of him. Hunts still a better option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyonedavidhirst Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I thought he did well. My biggest concern with him is recovery runs. I think sometimes when we are going forward he is a little flat footed at getting back. That time when the guy got in on Westwood was a typical example.

Shifty Powers Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 If only he could beat the first man when crossing! How many times did he get to the byline and fail to get it across!? Proper frustrating. Thought Palmer was left exposed a few times, but did well considering. Just pretty steady tonight. I still prefer Jack Hunt if truth be told.

This exactly he has 2 or 3 times every game when he just can't be arsed to get back. I refuse to believe a professional athlete in his twenties wouldn't be capable of doing so.

Ian Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Do some people really think Palmer is better than Hunt?......I can see now why once upon a time Nuhiu had his fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he offers a lot more than he gets credit for at times. However, something clearly hasn't clicked regularly enough this season, so maybe we should start considering something a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been quite harsh on him recently but I think this season maybe one too far for him, thought he was good against Leeds but bar that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatter Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 1 hour ago, torryowl said: thought he he did ok as did fox ........ Takes an exceptional player to play full back the way Carlos sets us up. Hunt is better attacking, Palmer defending, similar with Reach and Fox at left back. Guess very few players have all the necessary attributes. Fox though showed he could put in a decent cross when he did get the opportunities early on. Thought I saw Loovens taking him to task midway through 1st half for not covering him. After that he seemed reluctant to push forward as much.

I only remember two bad crosses out of about ten i.e. 8 good. Palmer would have been my MoM had it not been for Bannan being on another level.

sheriwozgod Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Had a decent game but judging him over the last 5 years i would say that league 1 is his standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players develop over time. He could do with a run in the side before we judge him. Edited November 1, 2017 by shandypants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can improve his final pass/cross he’d be a complete player. I have to say I thought he was average at best, but like a few others needs a run of 4 or 5 games I really don't think there is much in it between Palmer & Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest simo Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Hunt everytime for me. Palmer "strolls" back when we have lost the ball after he has been on a forward run, no urgency whatsoever to get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Always tough coming in from the cold , especially into a team thats struggling for confidence. I thought he did well over all. Bit leggy towards the end. I think we have always been overly critical of the lad. Despite claims that fans always love one of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
