steveger Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 You would have though with his dad being quite good at the old defensive lark in his time with the club that young Liam would be spot on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I must have missed the improvement. Thought he got booked cos one cross was so bad. Didn’t think it was a foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put him and us out of his misery now ! He has some good points for sure However, putting his body on the line is not one of them I could scream!!!!!

alan48 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Were Reach and Pelepessy on the pitch today - if so , sorry , I didn't notice them , but at least they can say they didn't make any mistakes .Probably 'cos they never tackled , never ran and never wanted the ball .At least Palmer tries a bit .

Beatpusher Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I quite like Palmer, but no flipping clue what he was thinking for the first goal. Whole defence seemed to stand still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I'd made my mind up to lay off Liam this season & give him a fair chance, going forward he appears to have been our main outlet in pre-season for creating chances. I've just watched the goals from today, he might not be the only one at fault for the build up for the first 2 but he could easily have put in a challenge on the goal scorer for both but showed no willingness or bravery to put himself on the line. For the 1st goal he'd done all the hard work & chased back from the opposition box but when it came down to the nitty gritty he wasn't interested. He might not have been the worst man on the pitch but his lack of a challenge for the first 2 goals was appaling. I don't care if he's one of our own & come through the ranks, it doesn't give him an excuse to bottle it at vital moments. You'd think somebody who's come through the ranks would have more passion for the club & more likely than others to put his body on the line. No doubt the Liam is one of us he can do no wrong fan club will have a dig but his deficiencies were plain to see yet again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be no more than a back up player at best. We do not have good enough wing backs to play 3-5-2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Repperton Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I've said all along that he's not good enough & a liability & got stick from everyone defending him!! Hopeless, league one at best (bottom three that is)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Shame we couldn’t sell someone else instead of Hunt. Lost a vital player there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Liam Palmer will probabaly be just as surprised as we are that he’s still at the club this season, if we wasn’t in this predicament we all know he would have been sold this summer , and the lad himself probably wanted a fresh challenge aswell he will know he’s not an ideal first choice, but you know what the lad is one of our own and has put 100% effort in over 100’s of games for this football club, so instead of ripping him limb for limb and feeding him to the dogs any chance of showing the lad a bit of respect and supporting him while he’s wearing the shirt ? The way we attack our own players absolutely infuriates me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt_johno43 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 (edited) Has he become a scapegoat yes, has he been good enough for the past 3 seasons no. Could he do a job of filling in when Hunt was injured arguably. The way I sum up today for Liam was like when a sunday league team is short of a player in defence so they ask someones mate to fill in, he was genuinley that bad and it is not a one off. It is what it is with Palmer and any of us expecting any different need to just stop and realise that is simply him. At times today I just felt sorry for him as you can not fault him for trying as ridiculous as that sounds for a proffesional footballer. He just does not read games, does not sniff out danger, doesnt track runners and is in way over his head. We have a young kid in Ash Baker in the wings, I would rather us try with him let him attempt to develop and learn in this team, we know what Palmer "offers" he has had his shot for me and has squeezed out a very good living playing for this football club and not actually doing much to prove his worth for the division we are in. As fans I beleive we would have more patience in Baker than we ever will with Palmer i am not saying if he makes a mistake everyone will just forgive and forget but its easier to talk people down off the cliff if a young kid is learning. By the end of the season I would imagine Baker has made that spot his own providing we are actually under an embargo.
