I think you're clutching at straws with this argument. Baker was playing wing back today so had to flank - I wouldn't even say it was better than Palmer playing right back would normally do.

 

Baker's hard working but not good enough - simple as.

Might be best if you read my post again.

I see - sorry.

 

Not sure I agree with your assessment that we should give him time though. He's 23 and doesn't look like someone who's likely to improve, unlike Penney who i think could be moulded into a decent full back by a decent manager.

Probably yes

Reda was an ‘affective’ left back.

 

Pudil was great in the play off final season in fairness.

 Pudil was good for 1 season , and I still like him but he is limited . 

 

I liked Reda as well but his main attribute was in the opposing box .

Worthington and King.

Big Ron couldn’t decide who was best so he played em both on the left.

It was great. Constantly overlapping trying to outdo each other.

The problem with Palmer is that he's been with us a long time (isn't he our longest-serving player?), but he's hardly improved. I hadn't realised until I looked it up just now that Hunt is less than a year older than him. It might be OK for Baker to look like a youth player at 22, but it isn't so great for Palmer to be still giving an impression of one at 27.

It’s not nice to constantly criticise but I’ve been saying Palmer hasn’t been up to it for years. Like a few others.

 

Differnce the last year or so it he’s been exposed because he doesn’t have a few other quality players around him mopping up his mistakes. Westwood, Lees and Loovens etc used to bail him out on a regular basis. It got ignored by lots because apparently it doesn’t matter if we win.

 

There was a thread after the Blackburn game highlighting his mistakes and position sense. That isn’t anything new, differnce is he’s now getting punished.

 

We need at least 1 better full back for each side going forward. Whether that’s possible with the current financial situation I’m not sure.
