Quist Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think he would be ok at League 1 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boothy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Just not good enough in any aspect of the game, not quick enough, not aggressive enough, no good enough with the ball, cant see or sense danger ......I'm struggling to find anything in his game that's a plus I'm afraid.

Bukta Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 So after reading the comments in this thread I’ve no idea if Palmer had a stormer or a nightmare? I’ll go somewhere in the middle and surmise that he did ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) We have a distribution from the back problem. Teams that put us on the press can disrupt our game fairly easily. That is why we need players at the back who are really comfortable on the ball and can play an accurate pass. Palmer has that in spades. He is ridiculously underrated by alot of posters on here. Probably because he doesn't fit the mental template they have of a wing back. Ideally he would be a RB in a back four. But in this system, and in the absence of anyone else, he is easily our best rwb. Edited August 17, 2018 by Beholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassetts Allsorts Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Not Palmer's biggest fan, but I thought he had a decent game last night and helped a few of the younger players out at times. It's still early doors, but Baker has impressed me. I do think Palmer's experience will be invaluable this season and he definitely has a part to play this season.

mark77 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 He isn't good enough, we all know that. Last night was against poor opposition. That has to be taken into account. However he played well, best game I've seen him have for a while, credit where credit is due. But see above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is clearly better than Baker however much the haters would love it to be otherwise. 11 hours ago, Beholder said: Because it's relentless and comes even after he plays well. Appalling support. No-one hates Palmer, why would they? He's a local lad, supports the club, and gives what he can when called up on. Many just don't rate him and don't believe he's good enough to be first choice here. I've even given you the list of areas I believe he lacks, you disagreed. That's football. Doesn't mean he's hated FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d have to be completely naive not to realise what that implied. Not just relegated to the subs bench but out of the match day squad altogether. Don’t think any player who is ‘easily our best’ gets dropped in that fashion. Maybe the gap between Palmer and Baker is not so great as to regard Palmer as easily our best? It would appear our manager didn’t think so, unless he was making a point to Palmer that the standard he set against Wigan (in Jos’s opinion) will not be tolerated? Personally I thought Baker was ok against Hull, no more, no less, just ok. Be interesting to see if Baker did enough to keep Palmer out of the team.

I think Jos will recognise sooner or later that Palmer is a better option than Baker. Baker is OK. Palmer is very good in certain ways, and we lose that if he is dropped. He is a very reliable pass option. Always available, receives the ball, redistributes well and rarely loses it. We shall see how it pans out.

Lord Snooty Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Poor at Wigan. Ok last night. Good as your last game. His last game was ok. He's not Kieran Trippier. Get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 He’s a solid player no more, no less. He does have his shockers and because he never performs at a really good level very often he gets more pelters than most when he has those shockers. We’ll never get to where we want to be with Palmer as a regular but where we want to be is miles away at the moment and because of this he’ll make more than his fair share of appearances again and he will probably sign another contract with us if the opportunity is there?

jonesy87shef Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I think he is a very poor footballer. last night he was better than usual, but that was only a 6/10 performance. Hopefully something to build on I suppose. Still plenty of mistakes and offered nothing going forward. Don’t think anyone hates him. Just see he is very very limited at this level.

I criticise him a lot as I don’t think he’s good enough. Hate is defined as intense dislike. I don’t think that’s how people feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
